Answer:

Explanation:

To determine which element will displace hydrogen from a dilute acid, we need to make reference to the activity series or the electrochemical series. The activity series is a list of metallic ions according to their electropositivity.

This means elements are ranked here based on how electrically positive they are. Hence, an element above another element is relatively more electropositive than the one under it. For example calcium is less electropositive compared to sodium as calcium is found under sodium in the list.

Now, for an element to displace hydrogen, it means the particular element is more electropositive than hydrogen on the activity series. All the elements in the options are in a greater position relative to hydrogen on the activity series except silver. This means it cannot displace hydrogen from a dilute mineral acid

What mass in grams would 5.7L of hydrogen gas occupy at STP?

tekilochka [14]

Answer: The correct answer is: " 0.54 g " .

__________________________________________

Explanation:

Note that "hydrogen gas" is:

H₂ (g) ; that is: a "diatomic element" (diatomic gas) ;

_________________________________________

The molecular weight of "H" is: 1.00794 g ;

(From the Periodic Table of Elements).

So, the molecular weight of: H₂ (g) is:

" 1.00794 g * 2 = 2.01588 g ; {use calculator) ;

_________________________________________

Note the conversion for a gas at STP:

______

1 mol of a gas = 22.4 L gas;

___

i.e. " 1 mol / 22.4 L " ;

____

So: " 5.7 L H₂ (g) $* \frac{1 mol H_{2} }{22.4 L} *\frac{2.01588 g}{mol} =? ;$

The "L" ("literes" cancel out to "1" ; since "L/L = 1 ;

The "mol" (moles) cancel out to "1" ; since "mol/mol = 1 ;

____

and we are left with:

____

[5.7 * 2.104588 g ] / 22.4 = ? g ;

______________________

→ [ 11.9961516 g ] / 22.4 =

0.53554248214 g ;l

_____________________________

We round this value to: " 0.54 g " ;

→ since "5.7 L " has 2 (two) significant figures;

22.4 is an exact number conversion;

and "5.7 L" has fewer significant figures than:

" 2.104588 " ; or: " 1.00794 " .

→ as such: We round to "2 (two) significant figures."

Hope this is helpful. Wishing you the best in your academic endeavors!

A stable atom that has a large nucleus most likely contains

maria [59]

Answer:

3. Equal numbers of protons and neutrons

Explanation:

The nucleus becomes unstable if the ratio of protons to neutrons is less than 1:1 or more than 1:1.5.

The most stable nucleus has a neutron proton ratio of 1:1 which means that they can not release a neutron or a proton to decay.

Nucleus 3 is therefore the most stable.

What is the angle between two of the nitrogen-hydrogen bonds in the ammonium (NH4+) ion?

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

109° 27'

Explanation:

The ammonium ion is tetrahedral in shape, all the HNH bonds are exactly at the tetrahedral bond angle since there are only bond pairs in the structure and no lone pairs. Recall that lone pairs decrease the bond angke from the ideal value in a tetrahedron due to higher repulsion.
