Which of the following properly lists the metals in order from decreasing to increasing ease of oxidation?

I know it is either B or D, since I know that K will oxidize in water, and Ag will have a tougher time oxidizing. I am going to lean towards D for my answer.

Answer is: D. Ag < Cu < Cr < K.

Reactivity series is an empirical progression of a series of metals, arranged by their reactivity from highest to lowest (alkaline metals have highest reactivity and Noble metals lowest reactivity):

K > Ba > Sr > Na > Ca > Mg > Be > Al > Mn > Zn > Cr> Fe > Cd > Co > Ni > Sn > Pb > H(in acids) > Cu > Hg > Ag.

Metal higher in the reactivity series will displace another and it will be oxidized.

For example, potassium is more reactive than silver.

Chemical reaction: K + AgCl → KCl + Ag.

Potassium is oxidized (from oxidation number 0 to +1) and silver is reduced (from oxidation number +1 to 0).

385 J of heat are needed to heat a piece of aluminum from 22°C to 45°C. If the specific heat of Al is 0.90 J/g°C, what is the ma

VikaD [51]

Answer:

M of Al=33.09g or 0.0331kg

Explanation:

Heat Energy= specific heat*mass*change in temperature

H=M*C*T

make M subject of the formula

M=H/CT

M=685J/0.90J/g°C*(45°C-22°C)

M=685J/0.90J/g°C*23°C

M=685J/20.7J/g

M=33.09g or 0.0331kg

Answer:

Homeostasis is the tendency to resist change in order to maintain a stable, relatively constant internal environment. Homeostasis typically involves negative feedback loops that counteract changes of various properties from their target values, known as set points.
