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.

It's actually Science but I didn't find it.
fomenos

Answer:

Forces acting on an object may be balanced or unbalanced. When the forces  acting on an object have <u>equal</u> strength and act in opposite directions, they  are <u>balanced</u>. These forces cancel out one another, and the <u>motion</u> of the  object does not <u>change</u>.  When the forces acting on an object are <u>unbalanced</u>, they do not cancel out  one another. An unbalanced force acting on an object results in the object’s  motion <u>changing</u>. The object may change its <u>speed</u> (speed up or slow down), or it may change its <u>direction</u>.  <u>Friction</u> is a force that resists the motion or the tendency toward motion  between two objects in contact with each other.  <u>Gravity</u> is a force that pulls objects toward one another. For example, Earth  pulls all objects toward it.
