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

1 answer:

6 0

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 is a molar solution?

mina [271]

Answer:

Molar concentration is a measure of the concentration of a chemical species, in particular of a solute in a solution, in terms of amount of substance per unit volume of solution. In chemistry, the most commonly used unit for molarity is the number of moles per liter, having the unit symbol mol/L or mol/dm³ in SI unit.

Ill give the brainliest answer to whoever helps me with this equation

vampirchik [111]

Answer: The percent yield for the $NaBr$ is, 86.7 %

Explanation : Given,

Moles of $FeBr_3$ = 2.36 mol

Moles of $NaBr$ = 6.14 mol

First we have to calculate the moles of $NaBr$

The balanced chemical equation is:

$2FeBr_3+3Na_2S\rightarrow Fe_2S_3+6NaBr$

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 moles of $FeBr_3$ react to give 6 moles of $NaBr$

So, 2.36 moles of $FeBr_3$ react to give $\frac{6}{2}\times 2.36=7.08$ mole of $NaBr$

Now we have to calculate the percent yield for the $NaBr$ .

$\text{Percent yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield = 6.14 moles

Theoretical yield = 7.08 moles

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

$\text{Percent yield}=\frac{6.14mol}{7.08mol}\times 100=86.7\%$

Therefore, the percent yield for the $NaBr$ is, 86.7 %
