Here we have to identify the metal powder by the given disposal.

The identification of Zinc can be done by 1 m nitric acid (HNO₃) and Ni(NO₃)₂ which will produce hydrogen gas by reaction and displacement reaction as shown below.

Zn + 2 HNO₃ = Zn(NO₃)₂ + H₂ (g)

Zn + Ni(NO₃)₂ = Zn(NO₃)₂ + Ni

The identification of lead can be done by the reaction with 1 m nitric acid (HNO₃) which produces lead nitrate.

The reaction is-

Pb + 4HNO₃ = Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2NO₂ + 2H₂O

The identification of platinum can be done by the reaction with all the given disposal as it will not react with any of the compound.

1. Identification of Zinc (Zn):

(a) Zn metal will not react with sodium nitrate (NaNO₃) as sodium remains at the lower position of the activity series than zinc.

Zn + NaNO₃ = No reaction

(b) Zn metal will react with 1 m HNO₃ to form hydrogen gas. The reaction is:

Zn + 2 HNO₃ = Zn(NO₃)₂ + H₂ (g)

(c) Zn will react with nickel nitrate [Ni(NO₃)₂] because it may only cause displacement reaction the reduction potential of Zn²⁺/Zn (-0.76) is less than that of Ni²⁺/Ni (-0.23). Thus the reaction will be:

Zn + Ni(NO₃)₂ = Zn(NO₃)₂ + Ni

2. Identification of lead (Pb):

(a) Pb metal will not react with sodium nitrate (NaNO₃) as sodium remains at the lower position of the activity series than Pb.

Pb + NaNO₃ = No reaction

(b) Pb reacts with HNO₃ to form lead nitrate. The reaction is:

Pb + 4HNO₃ = Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2NO₂ + 2H₂O

(c) The standard reduction potential of Pb²⁺/Pb is more than nickel Ni²⁺/Ni thus there will be no reaction between Pb and NI(NO₃)₂.

Pb + Ni(NO₃)₂ = No reaction.

3. Identification of platinum (Pt)

(a) Pt metal will not react with sodium nitrate (NaNO₃) as sodium remains at the lower position of the activity series than Pt.

Pt + NaNO₃ = No reaction.

(b) The standard reduction potential of Pt²⁺/Pt is so high (+1.188) thus there will be no reaction with HNO₃.

Pt + HNO₃ = No reaction

(c) The standard reduction potential of Pt²⁺/Pt is more than nickel Ni²⁺/Ni thus there will be no reaction between Pt and Ni(NO₃)₂.

Pt +  Ni(NO₃)₂ = No reaction.

When taking a measurement with a pH meter, keep the instrument in the ______________ until it is needed. Rinse the pH meter with
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Storage solution; deionized water; stabilizes.

Explanation:

The pH scale measures the concentration of hydrogen ions in acidic and alkaline solutions.

In chemistry, it literally means power of hydrogen ions and it is a measure of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions in a particular solution, thus specifying the acidity, neutrality or basicity of chemical solutions.

Mathematically, the pH of a solution is given by;

pH = -log_{10}(H^{+})

Hence, a solution with a pH of 7 is neutral. Also, a solution with a pH below 7 is acidic but basic (alkaline) if it's pH is above 7.

A pH meter can be defined as a scientific instrument or device designed and developed for the measurement of the hydrogen-ion concentration in water-based solutions, in order to determine their level of acidity or alkanility.

When using a pH meter to take a measurement, you should keep it in a storage solution until it is needed. Also, a deionized water should be used to rinse the pH meter and gently pat dry.

Furthermore, the pH meter should be placed in a given sample solution and a reading of the measurement taken when the pH of the solution stabilizes.
