<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Zinc.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Reactivity is defined as the tendency of an element to loose or gain electrons. Metals which loose electrons easily will be considered as more reactive metal.

The reactivity of elements will be judged on the basis of reactivity series. The elements which lie above in the series are more reactive than the elements which lie below in the series. The metals which lie above in the series will easily reduce the metals which lie below in the series.

Copper is the metal which lie above mercury and below zinc.

Thus, zinc is more reactive metal than copper and hence will easily reduce copper from its reaction.

Hence, the correct answer is Zinc.

Zinc because the only metals that would be able to reduce copper ions in solution would be hydrogen, lead, tin, nickel, iron, zinc, aluminum, Magnesium, sodium, calcium, potassium, and lithium. and according to your answer choices Zinc is the answer.

Select the properly written and balanced equation for the following chemical reaction: Sodium metal and an aqueous solution of m
Setler [38]

Answer:2Na(s)+MgI_2 (aq)\rightarrow 2NaI(aq)+Mg(s)

Explanation: The chemical reaction is written by writing down the chemical formulas of the reactants on the left hand side and the chemical formulas of products on the right hand side separated by a right arrow.

This is a single displacement reaction in which a more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its salt solution. Thus sodium is more reactive than Mg and thus displaces it from MgI_2.

2Na(s)+MgI_2 (aq)\rightarrow 2NaI(aq)+Mg(s)

The number of atoms of each element must be same on both sides of the reaction so as to follow the law of conservation of mass. Thus the equation is balanced.

If the relative humidity is high and the temperature drops, water vapor may
meriva

If the water vapor content stays the same and the temperature drops, the relative humidity increases. If the water vapor content stays the same and the temperature rises, the relative humidity decreases. This is because colder air doesn't require as much moisture to become saturated as warmer air.

How many formula units are there in 450 g of Na2S04?
Mashutka [201]

Formula units in 450 g of Na_{2} So_{4} is 1.93 × 10²⁴ formula units.

<u>Explanation:</u>

First we have to find the number of moles in the given mass by dividing the mass by its molar mass as,

$\frac{450 g}{142.04 g/mol} =  3.2 moles

Now, we have to multiply the number of moles of Na₂SO₄ by the Avogadro's number, 6.022 × 10²³ formula units/mol, so we will get the number of formula units present in the given mass of the compound.

3.2 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ = 1.93 × 10²⁴ formula units.

So, 1.93 × 10²⁴ formula units is present in 450g of Na₂SO₄.

A sample of concrete contains cement, gravel, crushed rocks, sand, and water. Each of these contains different metals and minera
Zepler [3.9K]

As the concrete has cement, gravel, crushed rocks, sand, and water of different physical state and can be separated by physical methods hence it should be called as a mixture.

As the components have significant physical boundaries which clearly identify their presence, the mixture is heterogeneous and not homogeneous.

Thus this is a concrete is a heterogeneous mixture of cement, gravel, crushed rocks, sand, and water

Calcium chlorate has the formula Ca(ClO3)2. Which best describes the structure of calcium chlorate? One molecule of calcium chlo
deff fn [24]
The formula Ca(ClO3)2 breaks down to: 1 calcium atom, 2 chlorine atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms. Therefore:

One molecule of calcium chlorate contains 9 atoms [correct]

Calcium chlorate is not an element, nor does the molecule contain only 3 atoms [incorrect]

It does not take 9 different elements - just the three elements we listed [incorrect]

Calcium chloride only contains one Ca group [incorrect]
