Answer:
4) 1.5 mol
Explanation:
Well, the equation is already balanced and the mole to mole ratio of reactants and products are all 1. So if the limiting reactant is HCl and you have 1.5 mol, you do the mole to mole ratio with NaCl and since it is 1 to 1, there'd be 1.5 mol of NaCl.
<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option b.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Reducing agents are defined as the agents which help the other substance to get reduced and itself gets oxidized. They undergo oxidation reaction.
For determination of reducing agents, we will look at the oxidation potentials of the substance. Oxidation potentials can be determined by reversing the standard reduction potentials.
For the given options:
- <u>Option a:</u>
This ion cannot be further oxidized because +1 is the most stable oxidation state of silver.
- <u>Option b:</u>
This metal can easily get oxidized to 
ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is 0.13 V
- <u>Option c:</u>
This metal can easily get oxidized to 
ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is 0.0 V
- <u>Option d:</u>
This metal can easily get oxidized to 
ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is -0.80 V
- <u>Option e:</u>
This ion cannot be further oxidized because +2 is the most stable oxidation state of magnesium.
By looking at the standard oxidation potential of the substances, the substance having highest positive 
potential will always get oxidized and will undergo oxidation reaction. Thus, considered as strong reducing agent.
From the above values, the correct answer is Option b.
Answer: The increase in solubility or the rate of dissolving process of a gaseous solute in a liquid solvent is due to following:
- Increasing agitation
- Increasing temperature
- Increasing solute's partial pressure over the solvent
- Increasing solute's surface area
Explanation:
When agitation is increased then there will occur an increase in kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance. As a result, more number of collisions will take place due to which more amount of solute will dissolve into the solvent.
Similarly, increasing the temperature will further increase the kinetic energy of molecules. Hence, this will lead to more solubility of gaseous solute into the liquid solvent.
As solubility of a gas is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above surface of the solution. So, an increase in solute's partial pressure over solvent will also lead to an increase in solubility of gaseous solute into liquid solvent.
When surface area of solute is increased then there will be more solute particles available for reaction. Hence, more collisions will take place. As a result, rate of reaction is more due to which there will be an increase in solubility.
Thus, we can conclude that the increase in solubility or the rate of dissolving process of a gaseous solute in a liquid solvent is due to following:
- Increasing agitation
- Increasing temperature
- Increasing solute's partial pressure over the solvent
- Increasing solute's surface area
Answer is: a. Rubidium (Rb) is more reactive than strontium (Sr) because strontium atoms must lose more electrons.
The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).
Alkaline metals (group 1), in this example rubidium, have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons (one electron), they are most reactive metals.
Earth alkaline metals (group 2), in this example strontium, have higher ionization energy than alkaline metals, because they have two valence electrons, they are less reactive.
Rubidium electron configuration: ₃₇Rb 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰4s²4p⁶5s¹; one valence electron is 5s¹ orbital.
Strontium electron configuration: ₃₈Sr 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰4s²4p⁶5s²; two valence electrons is 5s² orbital.
