<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.

3. If 90.0 grams of barium chloride react with sulfuric acid, how many
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 100.8 g

Explanation:

Data

  mass of Barium chloride = 90 g

  mass of Barium sulfate = ?

Balanced chemical reaction

    BaCl₂  +  H₂SO₄   ⇒    BaSO₄  +  2HCl

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of BaCl₂ and BaSO₄

BaCl₂ = 137.3 + (2 x 35.5) = 208.3g

BaSO₄ = 137.3 + 32 + (16 x 4) = 233.3g

2.- Use proportions to find the mass of BaSO₄

              208.3 g of BaCl₂ --------------------- 233.3 g of BaSO₄

                90 g of BaCl₂    ---------------------   x

                              x = (90 x 233.3) / 208.3

                              x = 20997/ 208.3

                              x = 100.8 g

3.- Conclusion

There will be produced 100.8 g of BaSO₄

An element with an electronegativity of 0.9 bonds with an element with an electronegativity of 3.1.. Which phase best describes
eduard
Electronegativity is the strength an atom has to attract a bonding pair of electrons to itself. When a chlorine atom covalently bonds to another chlorine atom, the shared electron pair is shared equally. The electron density that comprises the covalent bond is located halfway between the two atoms.

But what happens when the two atoms involved in a bond aren’t the same? The two positively charged nuclei have different attractive forces; they “pull” on the electron pair to different degrees. The end result is that the electron pair is shifted toward one atom.

ATTRACTING ELECTRONS: ELECTRONEGATIVITIES

The larger the value of the electronegativity, the greater the atom’s strength to attract a bonding pair of electrons. The following figure shows the electronegativity values of the various elements below each element symbol on the periodic table. With a few exceptions, the electronegativities increase, from left to right, in a period, and decrease, from top to bottom, in a family.

Electronegativities give information about what will happen to the bonding pair of electrons when two atoms bond. A bond in which the electron pair is equally shared is called a nonpolar covalent bond. You have a nonpolar covalent bond anytime the two atoms involved in the bond are the same or anytime the difference in the electronegativities of the atoms involved in the bond is very small.



Now consider hydrogen chloride (HCl). Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.1, and chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.0. The electron pair that is bonding HCl together shifts toward the chlorine atom because it has a larger electronegativity value.

A bond in which the electron pair is shifted toward one atom is called a polar covalent bond. The atom that more strongly attracts the bonding electron pair is slightly more negative, while the other atom is slightly more positive. The larger the difference in the electronegativities, the more negative and positive the atoms become.

Now look at a case in which the two atoms have extremely different electronegativities — sodium chloride (NaCl). Sodium chloride is ionically bonded. An electron has transferred from sodium to chlorine. Sodium has an electronegativity of 1.0, and chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.0.

That’s an electronegativity difference of 2.0 (3.0 – 1.0), making the bond between the two atoms very, very polar. In fact, the electronegativity difference provides another way of predicting the kind of bond that will form between two elements, as indicated in the following table.
