Answer:
1.) The nitric acid solution will oxidize and thus dissolve _*(Zn and Pb)*_. This will allow to identify _**Pt**_.
2) To distinguish between _*(Zn and Pb)*_, we can use the nickel nitrate.
3) The nickel nitrate solution will oxidize and thus dissolve _**Zn**_ and will not oxidize or dissolve _**Pb**_.
Explanation:
1) Unlike Zinc and Lead, Platinum does not react with Nitric acid. So, it will be the only metal from step 1 that doesn't react. Pt is identified in this manner.
2) Nickel is higher than Lead in the activity series, but Zinc is higher than both of them in the activity series. This selectivity can be used to distinguish between Zinc and Lead metal powders.
3) Because Zinc is higher than Nickel in the activity series, it means that Zinc metal can and will displace Nickel from Nickel Nitrate solution. Therefore the Nickel Nitrate solution will oxidize and dissolve the Zinc metal.
But, there will be no reaction with the Lead metal powders sample as Pb is lower than Ni in the activity series, so, Nickel Nitrate solution will not oxidize or dissolve the Lead metal powders.
Answer:
The principle of superposition states that the oldest sedimentary rock units are at the bottom, and the youngest are at the top. Based on this, layer C is oldest, followed by B and A. hope that helps
Explanation:
A=top
B=middle
C=bottom
Remember this:
atomic mass= atomic number + number of neutrons
The atomic number (same thing as number of protons) in this case is 15. The atomic mass is 31.
So, we subtract 15 from 31 to find the number of neutrons.
31-15=16
16 neutrons!!!
The observation that indicates that the kinetic-molecular theory has limited use for describing a certain gas is that gas particles are obeying Newton's laws of motion. The correct answer is B.
The correct answer is option 2. Chlorine gas molecules are held together by strong covalent bonds. This type of bond requires an ample amount of energy in order to break it and turn gas into liquid. That is why, high pressure and low temperature is needed.
