Which of the following is true about a spontaneous process? it releases energy, it does not require any external action to begi,
ra1l [238]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A spontaneous reaction is defined as the process which tends to occur on its own. It does not require any external factor or force in order to start itself.

For example, when we dissolve KCl in water then potassium chloride being ionic in nature will dissolve on its own. Hence, it will be a spontaneous process.

And, a non-spontaneous reaction is defined as a process for the completion of which we have to provide certain conditions.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement it does not require any external action to begin, is true about a spontaneous process.

For each of the four single-displacement reactions, describe what happened in rachel well. if a chemical reaction occured, write
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Single replacement:

It is the reaction in which one elements replace the other element in compound.

General equation:

AB + C → AC + B

1) zinc and Copper sulfate

Zn + CuSO₄   →   ZnSO₄ + Cu

Zinc is more reactive than copper it displaces the copper from copper sulfate and form zinc sulfate.

2) Aluminium and Copper sulfate

2Al + 3CuSO₄   →  Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3Cu

Aluminium is more reactive than copper it displaces the copper from copper sulfate and form aluminium sulfate.

3) Zinc and silver nitrate

Zn + 2AgNO₃ → Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag

zinc is more reactive than silver it displaces the silver from silver nitrate and form zinc nitrate.

4) copper and silver nitrate

Cu + 2AgNO₃  → Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag

copper is more reactive than silver it displaces the silver from silver nitrate and form copper nitrate.

What is the formula for the stable binary ionic compound formed between Barium and Oxygen?
xeze [42]

Answer: a. BaO

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here element barium is having an oxidation state of +2 called as Ba^{2+} cation and O^{2-} is an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral BaO
