Explanation:

A oxidizing agent or oxidizer is a substance that loses electrons and itself gets reduced.

Also, a substance or element that has more positive value of E^{o}_{cell} or reduction potential will act as a strong oxidizer because it will easily get reduced.

Therefore, standard reduction potential of the given elements is as follows.

K = -2.92

Ag = 1.83

Au = 0.80

Cu = 0.16

Ni = -0.23

Ca = -2.76

Hence, Ag has the highest positive value and calcium has the lowest. Thus, list from strongest to weakest oxidizer are as follows.

                       Ag > Au > Cu > Ni > Ca > K

Answer : If we list the given chemicals according to their increasing oxidising ability then the order will be like this; 1 being the strongest and 6 being the weakest 
1. K > 2. Ca >3. Ni> 4. Cu> 5. Ag> 6.Au

Explanation : Considering the reduction potential of each chemical species it will be easy to identify their oxidising capacity and differentiate accordingly;

More negative the value of reduction potential more is the ability of the chemical species to get oxidised.

Chemicals with their reduction potential is given below.

K has -2.92; Ca has -2.76; Ni has -0.23; Cu has 0.52; Ag has 1.50 and Au has 1.50.

A teacher puts two tablets in a glass of water. The teacher
ehidna [41]

This question is incomplete because the options are missing; here are the options:

Which of the following is LESS dense than water?

The spoon

The glass

The tablets

The bubbles

The correct answer to this question is The bubbles

Explanation:

In general, the density of materials and substances affects their buoyancy. This implies in water less dense materials will float and those with higher density will sink. In the situation presented, the only element that is less dense than water are bubbles; this is shown by the movement of the bubbles as these originate in the bottom of the glass of water but they rise to the surface, which shows they are less dense than water.

You are a researcher for a golf club manufacturer. You are given two identical looking cubes of a metal alloy. You are informed
Rashid [163]

Answer:

C.Melt both cubes and look for a broader range of melting temperatures. The one that melts over a broader range of temperatures is the amorphous solid.

Explanation:

Amorphous solids is one that do not have a fixed melting points but melt over a wide range of temperature due to the irregular shape hence its name. Contrariwise crystalline solids, have a fixed and sharp melting point.

This comes in handy to solve the riddle. We can characterise the pair with the melting point property.
