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).

aleksley [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ionization energy of hydrogen atom is 13.6 eV . This energy will be provided by energetic proton , the kinetic energy of which is 1000 eV. The kinetic energy of ionized electron is 15.2 eV . Kinetic energy of proton produced from from the ionization of hydrogen or the nucleus of the hydrogen atom is 4.3 eV . All these energy must have come from kinetic energy of initial proton.

So kinetic energy of projectile proton after collision

= 1000 - ( 13.6 + 15.2 + 4.3 ) eV.

= 966.9 eV .
