Answer:
The displacement reactions are regarded as redox reactions because they involve the formal transfer of electrons from one chemical specie to the other
2) The series of reactivity of the metals in the order of increasing reactivity are;
↓
↓
Explanation:
1) Redox (oxidation-reduction) reaction is a chemical reaction involving the loss and gain of electrons from one chemical species to another, where the chemical species that undergoes oxidation, loses electrons and is termed the reducing agent, while the other chemical species that undergoes reduction, gains electrons, and is termed the oxidizing agent
2) The redox reaction can being based on the affinity for electrons depends on the positions of the reactants in the electrochemical series as well as the chemical reactivity of the metals with zinc being a stronger reducing agent and more chemically reactive than copper and magnesium being a stronger reducing agent and more chemically reactive than zinc
Least reactive (Cu) < (Zn) < Mg Most reactive
Copper < Zinc < Magnesium.
Mass of metal piece is 611 g and volume of graduated cylinder is 25.1 mL. When metal piece is placed in the graduated cylinder water level increases to 56.7 mL. The increase in volume is due to volume of metal piece that gets added to the volume of water.
Thus, volume of metal piece can be calculated by subtracting initial volume from the final one.
Thus, volume of metal piece will be 31.6 mL. The mass of metal piece is given 611 g, density of metal can be calculated as follows:
Therefore, density of metal is 19.33 g/mL.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
There are three states of mater; solid liquid and gas. The sold state is the difficult to compress while the gaseous state is quite easy to compress.
A gas is easily compressed because the particles in a gas are far apart from each other. A solid is difficult to compress because the particles of a solid are close together. From all the above statements, it is easily deducible that the compressibility property of a substance in a particular state of matter depends on the proximity of the particles to each other, hence the answer above.
