Answer : The ages of the brother and sister are, 10 and 16 years respectively.

Solution :

Let the age of brother be 'x' and the age of sister be 'y'

There are two equations formed which are,

x + y = 26      ..........(1)

3y - 4x = 8     ..........(2)

First we have to multiple equation (1) by 4 and then added equation (1) and (2), we get the value of 'y'.

4x+4y+3y-4x=8+26\\\\7y=112\\\\y=16

Now put the value of 'y' in equation (2), we get the value of 'x'

3(16) - 4x = 8

4x = 40

x = 10

The age of brother = x = 10 years

The age of sister = y = 16 years

Therefore, the ages of the brother and sister are, 10 and 16 years respectively.

Based on the equations below, which metal is the most active? pb(no3)2 (aq) + ni (s) â ni(no3)2 (aq) + pb (s) pb(no3)2 (aq) + ag
erastova [34]

Answer is: nickel (Ni) is the most active metal.

Chemical reaction 1: Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + Ni(s) → Ni(NO₃)₂(aq) + Pb(s).

Chemical reaction 2: Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + Ag(s) → no reaction.

Chemical reaction 3: Cu(NO₃)₂(aq)) + Ni(s) → Ni(NO₃)₂(aq) + Cu(s).

From chemical reactions 1 and 3, we can conclude that nickel is more reactive than lead (Pb) and copper (Cu), because lead is more reactive than silver (Ag), chemical reaction 2, nickel is also more reactive than silver.

In chemical reaction 2, no reaction occurs because silver is less reactive than lead. Lead is higher in activity series of metals and can not be reduced.

Nickel is higher in activity series of metals than lead, copper and silver.

The activity series is a series of metals from highest to lowest reactivity. Metal higher in the reactivity series will displace another.
