Why do elements that have positive ions occur on the left side of the periodic table?

The elements on the left side of the periodic table are positive ions because they all lose electrons to find balance, thus leaving them with a positive charge.

Zinc will displace copper from a solution of copper sulfate, and magnesium will displace zinc from a solution of zinc sulfate. W
Anna [14]

Answer:

The displacement reactions are regarded as redox reactions because they involve the formal transfer of electrons from one chemical specie to the other

2) The series of reactivity of the metals in the order of increasing reactivity are;

  • Copper

           ↓

  • Zinc

           ↓

  • Magnesium

Explanation:

1) Redox (oxidation-reduction) reaction is a chemical reaction involving the loss and gain of electrons from one chemical species to another, where the chemical species that undergoes oxidation, loses electrons and is termed the reducing agent, while the other chemical species that undergoes reduction, gains electrons, and is termed the oxidizing agent

2) The redox reaction can being based on the affinity for electrons depends on the positions of the reactants in the electrochemical series as well as the chemical reactivity of the metals with zinc being a stronger reducing agent and more chemically reactive than copper and magnesium being a stronger reducing agent and more chemically reactive than zinc

Least  reactive (Cu)  <     (Zn)        < Mg Most reactive

Copper                     <      Zinc       < Magnesium.

11 Which compound has the greatest percent composition by mass of sulfur?(1) BaS (3) MgS
harina [27]
Percent composition by mass is calculated (mass of element within compound)/(mass of compound)*100. The lower the total molar mass of the compound, the greater the percent composition of sulfur. In this case, MgS would be that compound, since Mg has the lowest molar mass of the four elements bonded to S.

You want to minimize an objects thermal energy loss on a cold day. How does heat energy transfer affect thermal energy loss?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

4- A material that transfers heat energy more easily than another material will experience a greater rate of thermal energy loss than an object that does not transfer heat energy easily.

Explanation:

Thermal energy loss has to do with loss of heat energy by a body to another body or its environment. The aim of the process is usually the attainment of thermal equilibrium between the body and its environment.

On a cold day, a material that transfers thermal energy more easily will loose thermal energy faster than an object that does not transfer thermal energy. The rate of heat transfer of a body determines its rate of loss of thermal energy.
