I believe it's about the dislodging response as Ag structures solvent salt with nitrate. For dislodging response, more receptive metal will uproot less receptive metal from the arrangement. In your question, the reactivity of the metal are positioned as takes after: Mg > Cu > Ag. Take note of that more responsive metals, that are Mg and Cu, are in the arrangement.

Answer:

(not sure) The origin of all cells observed can be traced to previous cells

Explanation:

- not all cells convert energy (?) (this I'm not sure but think so? might be wrong tho)

- not all cells have cell walls e.g. animal cells only have the cell membrane, no cell wall

- Rocks and other nonliving things are composed of cells: non living things are composed of the elements and not cells (unless they were previously alive, then they contain dead cells)

The potential energy diagram shows the gain and loss of potential energy as water molecules decompose into hydrogen and oxygen.

Dovator [93]

Answer:

The diagram with the five labels of the parts is in the image attached. Please, see the image.

Explanation:

1) General explanation: a potential chemical energy diagram is used to show how the reactants gain energy until they reach the activation energy, form the activated complex, and release part of the energy to form the products.

The difference between the chemical potential energy of the products and the reactants is the enthalpy of the reaction:

ΔH rxn = ΔH products - ΔH reactants.

The labels that correspond to each part of the diagram are explained next.

2) Reactants:

This is the substances at the start, so they appear on the left bottom side of the diagram.

3) Activation energy:

It is the energy that the reactants must reach (the highest point) in order to the reaction occurs.

4) Activated complex:

This is the intermediate state and of highest energy. The reactants have formed a complex at mid way between the reactants and the products.

5) Products:

These are the substances formed when the reaction is completed. They are lower in energy than the activated complex. They can be either higher or lower in energy than the reactants. The products are shown to the right of the diagram.

6) Enthalpy of the reaction:

The enthalpy of the reaction is the difference in energy of the products and the reactants. In this case, since, the products are higher in energy, it means that the reaction absorbed energy and it is an endothermic reaction.
