Answer:
Option A:
Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq)
Explanation:
The half reactions given are:
Zn(s) → Zn^(2+)(aq) + 2e^(-)
Cu^(2+) (aq) + 2e^(-) → Cu(s)
From the given half reactions, we can see that in the first one, Zn undergoes oxidation to produce Zn^(2+).
While in the second half reaction, Cu^(2+) is reduced to Cu.
Thus, for the overall reaction, we will add both half reactions to get;
Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) + 2e^(-) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq) + 2e^(-)
2e^(-) will cancel out to give us;
Zn(s) + Cu^(2+) (aq) → Cu(s) + Zn^(2+)(aq)
Answer:
In chemistry, pH (/piːˈeɪtʃ/) (abbr. power of hydrogen or potential for hydrogen) is a scale used to specify how acidic or basic a water-based solution is. Acidic solutions have a lower pH, while basic solutions have a higher pH.

It is beacuse the ions in the melted or aqueous ionic compound is mobile and can freely move through the fluid and conduct electricity.
Answer:
The unknown solution had the higher concentration.
Explanation:
When two solutions are separated by a semi-permeable membrane, depending on the concentration gradient between the two solutions, there is a tendency for water molecules to move across the semi-permeable in order to establish an equilibrium concentration between the two solutions. This movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane in response to a concentration gradient is known as osmosis. In osmosis, water molecules moves from a region of lower solute concentration or higher water molecules concentration to a region of higher solute concentration or lower water molecules concentration until equilibrium concentration is attained.
Based on the observation that when the glucose solution described in part A is connected to an unknown solution via a semipermeable membrane, the unknown solution level rises, it means that water molecules have passed from the glucose solution through the semipermeable membrane into the unknown solution. Therefore, the solution has a higher solute concentration than the glucose solution.
