I'd say it is an element. It is not a compound, it doesn't do things on its own like us. It's an element like fire and water.

write a balanced chemical equation for each single replacement reaction that takes place in aqueous solution. write no reaction
Illusion [34]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Write a balanced chemical equation for each single replacement reaction that takes place in aqueous solution. write no reaction if a reaction does not occur

1.) Zn + PbCl₂

2.) Cu + Fe(NO₃)₂

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For 1:</u> The reaction does occur.

<u>For 2:</u> The reaction does not occur.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which more reactive element displaces a less reactive element.

The reactivity of metal is determined by a series known as reactivity series. The metals lying above in the series are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

A+BC\rightarrow AC+B

For the given options:

  • <u>For 1:</u>

Zinc is more reactive than lead as it lies above in the series. So, it will displace lead from its chemical equation.

The chemical equation for the reaction of zinc and lead chloride follows:

Zn+PbCl_2\rightarrow ZnCl_2+Pb

  • <u>For 2:</u>

Copper is less reactive than iron as it lies below in the series. So, it will not displace iron from its chemical equation.

The chemical equation for the reaction of copper and iron (II) nitrate follows:

Cu+Fe(NO_3)_2\rightarrow \text{No reaction}

Suppose you work at a theme park. Your supervisor wants you to make a sign displaying the maximum weight that a roller coaster t
grin007 [14]

Answer:

amusement parks. Each day, we flock by the millions to the nearest park, paying a sizable hunk of money to wait in long lines for a short 60-second ride on our favorite roller coaster. The thought prompts one to consider what is it about a roller coaster ride that provides such widespread excitement among so many of us and such dreadful fear in the rest? Is our excitement about coasters due to their high speeds? Absolutely not! In fact, it would be foolish to spend so much time and money to ride a selection of roller coasters if it were for reasons of speed. It is more than likely that most of us sustain higher speeds on our ride along the interstate highway on the way to the amusement park than we do once we enter the park. The thrill of roller coasters is not due to their speed, but rather due to their accelerations and to the feelings of weightlessness and weightiness that they produce. Roller coasters thrill us because of their ability to accelerate us downward one moment and upwards the next; leftwards one moment and rightwards the next. Roller coasters are about acceleration; that's what makes them thrilling. And in this part of Lesson 2, we will focus on the centripetal acceleration experienced by riders within the circular-shaped sections of a roller coaster track. These sections include the clothoid loops (that we will approximate as a circle), the sharp 180-degree banked turns, and the small dips and hills found along otherwise straight sections of the track.

For the aqueous solution containing 75 mg of compound C in 1.0 mL of water, what will be the total amount of the solute C that w
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

75 mg

Explanation:

We can write the extraction formula as

x = m/[1 + (1/K)(Vaq/Vo)], where

x = mass extracted

m = total mass of solute

K = distribution coefficient

Vo = volume of organic layer

Vaq = volume of aqueous layer

Data:

m = 75 mg

K = 1.8

Vo = 0.90 mL

Vaq = 1.00 mL

Calculations:

For each extraction,

1 + (1/K)(Vaq/Vo) = 1  + (1/1.8)(1.00/0.90) = 1 + 0.62 = 1.62  

x = m/1.62 = 0.618m

So, 61.8 % of the solute is extracted in each step.

In other words, 38.2 % of the solute remains.

Let r = the amount remaining after n extractions. Then  

r = m(0.382)^n.

If n = 7,

r = 75(0.382)^7 = 75 × 0.001 18 = 0.088 mg

m = 75 - 0.088 = 75 mg

After seven extractions, 75 mg (99.999 %) of the solute will be extracted.

creativ13 [48]
The best answer is "<span>High temperatures increase the activation energy of the reaction."

The Haber process is an exothermic reaction at room temperature. This means that the reaction actually favors the reverse reaction, especially when the temperature is increased. So why increase the reaction temperature?

The reason for this is that nitrogen is a very stable element. Therefore, more energy is needed to overcome the slow rate of reaction. So the reaction temperature must be low enough to favor a forward reaction, but high enough to speed up the reaction.</span>
