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.

Why is important to only test one variable at a time?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

It is important to only test one variable at a time because you need to be able to disprove or prove a problem with just one independent variable. When you have several variables in the experiment, it would be impossible to know which variable honestly caused the end result.

Suppose you have a mixture of copper sulfate (CuSO4) and azulene (C10H8, you may wish to know the structure of azulene). Both co
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Aqueous layer (1 M HCI)

Explanation:

First of us I want to remind you of the cliché in chemistry that like dissolves like. In solvent extraction, a mixture is dissolved in a system consisting of two immiscible solvents. One layer is organic while the other layer is aqueous.

Polar substances partition in the aqueous layer while nonpolar substances partition in the organic layer.

Since Copper sulfate is ionic, we will find it in the aqueous layer according to the old chemistry cliche.

Assume that 1.0 mol of C4H10 is completely burned in excess oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water. How many moles of CO2 would
In-s [12.5K]
You need to first write a chemical equation and balance it
 C₄H₁₀ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
2 C₄H₁₀ + 13 O₂ → 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O
1.0 moles               X moles
1.0 mol C₄H₁₀ (\frac{8 mol CO₂}{2 mol C₄H₁₀}) = 4 moles of CO₂
