The balanced chemical reaction is given above however I believe the coefficients are wrong. It should be:
4K + O2 = 2K2O
We use data from that reaction to obtain relationships between substances. We are given the amount of potassium that reacts. We proceed as follows:
1.52 mol K ( 2 mol K2O / 4 mol K ) = 0.76 mol of K2O is formed
Answer:
Zn(s) + 2H₂O (l) → Zn(OH)2(aq) + H2(g)
Sn(s) + O2(g) →SnO2(s)
Cd(s) + Pb(NO3)2 (aq) →Cd(NO3)2 (aq) + Pb(s)
Cu (s) + HCl(aq) → can not occur
Explanation:
Metals reacts with liquid water to yield the corresponding metallic hydroxide and hydrogen gas as shown above; Zn(s) + 2H₂O (l) → Zn(OH)2(aq) + H2(g)
Tin reacts with oxygen to yield tin (IV) oxide. This is an oxidation reaction as shown; Sn(s) + O2(g) →SnO2(s)
The reaction between Cd and Pb(NO3)2 is a single replacement reaction. It is possible because Cd is above Pb in the electrochemical series. Hence the reaction occurs thus; Cd(s) + Pb(NO3)2 (aq) →Cd(NO3)2 (aq) + Pb(s)
Copper does not displace hydrogen from dilute acids (such as HCl) since copper is lower than hydrogen in the electrochemical series hence the reaction does not occur.
