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.

How many valence electrons does K+ have
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

About one valence electron

Explanation:

Obviously, removing that electron gives us [Ar] (same configuration as K1+), which is a noble gas and has 8 electrons. Valence electrons are generally regarded as being 'the outermost electrons' for a given atom. Therefore, with neutral potassium, there is one valence electron

Sodium metal is sometimes used as a cooling agent in heat exchange units because of its relatively high molar heat capacity of 2
IgorC [24]

Answer:

The specific heat of sodium is 1,23J/g°C

Explanation:

Using the atomic weight of sodium (23g/mol) and the atomic weight definition, we have that each mole of the substance has 23 grams of sodium.

starting from this, we use the atomic weight of sodium to convert the units from J / mol ° C to J / g ° C

28,2 \frac{J}{mol C} x \frac{1mol}{23g} = 1,23 J/g C

Suppose that 25.0 mL of 0.10 M CH3COOH (aq) is titrated with 0.10 M NaOH (aq). What is the pH after the addition of 10.0 mL of 0
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

pH=-1.37

Explanation:

We are given that 25 mL of 0.10 M CH_3COOH is titrated with 0.10 M NaOH(aq).

We have to find the pH of solution

Volume of CH_3COOH=25mL=0.025 L

Volume of NaoH=0.01 L

Volume of solution =25 +10=35 mL=\frac{35}{1000}=0.035 L

Because 1 L=1000 mL

Molarity of NaOH=Concentration OH-=0.10M

Concentration of H+= Molarity of CH_3COOH=0.10 M

Number of moles of H+=Molarity multiply by volume of given acid

Number of moles of H+=0.10\times 0.025=0.0025 moles

Number of moles of OH^-=0.10\times 0.01=0.001mole

Number of moles of H+ remaining after adding 10 mL base = 0.0025-0.001=0.0015 moles

Concentration of H+=\frac{0.0015}{0.035}=4.28\times 10^{-2} m/L

pH=-log [H+]=-log [4.28\times 10^{-2}]=-log4.28+2 log 10=-0.631+2

pH=-1.37

After mitosis, you have 2 cells that are the same as the parent cell. Why is it that your first cell was not the same as your pa
ladessa [460]

Answer:

During MITOSIS, the parent, diploid (2n), cell is divided to create two identical, diploid (2n), daughter cells. ... After cytokinesis, the ploidy of the daughter cells remains the same because each daughter cell contains 4 chromatids, as the parent cell did.
