Answer:

Explanation:

The electrochemical series can be used to check if a particular element has a greater activity than the other. Firstly, on the electrochemical series, it can be seen that lead is at a higher position compared to mercury. All things being equal, it will show a higher activity than mercury and hence can knock it off its salt.

Although it is the Overall standard electrode potential that tells us if a reaction is feasible or not, we can use the activity series to quickly discern if the reaction is possible or not. The overall standard electrode potential of both is positive which makes the reaction to be feasible and hence lead can display mercury off its salt

In the lab you weigh out 76.02 g of Iron (Fe). How many moles of Iron do you have in the sample. (Your answer must have a unit..

son4ous [18]

Answer:

We have 1.361 moles in the sample

Explanation:

Mass of iron = 76.02g

Molar mass of iron = 55.845 g/ mole ( This we can find in the periodic table, and menas that 1 mole of iron has a mass of 55.845 g).

To calculate the number of moles we will use following formula:

moles (n) = mass / molar mass

moles iron = 76.02g / 55.845 g/ mole

moles iron = 1.36127 moles

To use the correct number of significant digits we use the following rule for multiplication and division :

⇒ the number with the least number of significant figures decides the number of significant digits.

⇒76.02 has 4 digits ( 2 after the comma) and 55.845 has 5 digits (3 after the comma).

⇒ this means 1.361 moles

We have 1.361 moles in the sample

Molecule of water contains hydrogen and oxygen in a 1:8 ratio by mass. This is a statement of __________.A) the law of multiple

fgiga [73]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

The molecule of water has 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen.

The ratio of masses are given as:

$2\times 1 g/mol: 1\times 16 g/mol= 1 : 8$

This illustrates the law of definite proportions which is also known as law of constant compositions .

The law states that 'the elements combining to form compound always combine in a fixed ratio by their mass.'

Whereas :

Law of multiple proportion states that when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compounds , the mass of one element with respect to the fixed mass of another element are in ratio of small whole numbers.

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

In a balanced chemical reaction ,total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

Law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

Having energy in the reactant lead to an exothermic reaction.<br>true<br>false

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

first of all;-energy lead to an indotermic reaction.

indotermic is a reaction that absorbs energy \

*it has positive enthalpy of reaction

*Heat content of product is greater than that of reactant

*Heat is added to reactant side

example;- CO^2+2H^2+891kj --------- CH4 +2O2
