If the relative activities of two metals are known which metal is more easily oxidized

Chemistry

Answer: The metal that has a greater reactivity is more easily oxidized.

Explanation:

Oxidation is when the elements lose electrons and increase their oxidation state.

The metals tend to react by losing electrons and form the corresponding cation.

For expample, sodium (an alkalyne metal) loses one elecron and form the cation Na¹⁺ , then this cation combine with an anion and form compounds like NaCl, NaOH. The same do the other alkalyne metals.

Magnesium (an alkalyne earth metal) loses two electrons and form the cation Mg²⁺, then it combines with some anions to form compounds, like MgSO₄, Mg(OH)₂.

So, the easier the metal gets oxidized the greater its reactivity.

What does this equation, 2 C(s) + O 2(g) ® 2 CO(g), tell us?
Zanzabum

Answer:

D. All of these.

Explanation:

For an equation to be balanced the number of atoms of each kind in the reactants and the products should be the same.

Then from this equation, CO  is a product.

Last, two carbon atoms undergo reaction with the oxygen molecule for complete reaction to occur. Each atom combines with one oxygen atom.

Consider the process in which HClO3 is converted to HClO2. The oxidation state of oxygen remains −2, and the oxidation state of
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Option 1, Cl is reduced and gains electrons

Explanation:

HClO₃  → HClO₂

In HClO₃, chlorine acts with +5 in the oxidation state

In HClO₂,, chlorine acts with +3 in the oxidation state.

The state has been reducted, so the Cl has been reduced. As it was reduced, it means that has won e⁻, in this case 2

Cl⁻⁵  → Cl⁻³  +  2e⁻

Calculate the mols for 4.2g of a Mg<br>​
hjlf

Answer:

0.175mol

Explanation:

Mole of a substance can be calculated using the formula as follows:

number of moles (n) = mass (m) ÷ molar mass (MM)

According to this question, there are 4.2g of Magnesium (Mg).

Molar mass of Magnesium = 24g/mol, hence, the number of moles of 4.2g of Mg is as follows:

n = 4.2g ÷ 24g/mol

n = 0.175mol
