The complete answer contains the answer choices.
This is the complete question:
Atoms of which element react spontaneously with Mg2+(aq)? (1)chromium
(2)barium
(3)iron
(4)zinc
Answer: option 2. barium.
Explanation.
1) Mg ²⁺ (aq) is the aquous cation of the metal Mg.
2) Only a metal more reactive than Mg will be able to exchange with it the oxidation states.
3) Mg is an earth alkalyne metal (group 2 of the periodic table). The metals from this group are more reactive than the metals in the groups to its right: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ... Only the alkalyne metals (those in group 1) are more reactive than the earth alkalyne metals.
4) Of the list, barium is the only alkalyne metal, so it is more reactive than Mg and will be able to deliver 2 electrons to transform the cations Mg²⁺ into Mg while the very Ba will become Ba²⁺.
5) Chromium, iron and zinc are transition metals, so less metallic (reactive) than Mg.
The 1st law of thermodynamics doesn't specify that matter can be created nor destroyed, but that the total amount of energy in a closed system cannot be created nor destroyed though it can be changed from one form to another.
1)The branch of science concerned with the substances of which matter is composed and it is a study of matter.
2)It helps you understand the world around you,chemistry helps you to understand product labels and etc.
3)You find chemistry in daily life in the foods you eat,the air you breathe,cleaning chemicals and etc.
4) Physical,Analytical, Biochemistry,Organic and inorganic chemistry.
