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 sample of sodium reacts completely with 0.284 kg of chlorine, forming 468 g of sodium chloride. What mass of sodium reacted?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

mass of sodium reacted is 184.1 g

Explanation:

  • Na + Cl → NaCl

mass Na = X = ?

∴ mass NaCl = 468 g

∴ mass Cl = 0.248 g

∴ molar mass NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

∴ atomic mass Cl = 35.453 a.m.u

∴ atomic mass Na = 22.989 a.m.u

⇒ moles Na = (X gNa)*(mol Na/22.989 g) = X/22.989 mol Na

⇒ mass NaCl = (X/22.989 mol Na)*(mol NaCl/mol Na)*(58.44 gNaCl/mol NaCl) = 468 g NaCl

clearing "X":

⇒ ((58.44)(X))/(22.989) = 468 g

⇒ X = 184.1 g = mass Na reacted

Kia is doing an experiment in science lab. She is given a beaker containing 100 g of liquid. The beaker has markings on the side
vlabodo [156]
The key to solving this problem is density. Density determines the mass of a molecule for a certain volume. Kia is given a beaker containing 100 g which volume is at <span>100 mL mark. Then the density of the liquid would be:
</span>density=mass/volume
density= 100g/ 100ml= 1g/ml

If t<span>he water now comes up to the 50 mL mark, then the weight would be:
</span>density = mass/volume
mass = volume * density
<span>mass = 50ml * (1g/ml)= 50g</span>

blagie [28]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

She should notify her teacher.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Sodium Hydroxide is very corrosive in nature and it causes Redness, Pain, Serious skin burns and Blisters. Sodium hydroxide does not produce systemic toxicity, but is very CORROSIVE and can cause severe burns in all tissues that it comes in contact with. Therefore she should not touch it and she must notify her teacher as soon as possible.
