The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

Using the following portion of the activity series for oxidation half-reactions, determine which combination of reactants will result in a reaction.

Li(s)\rightarrow Li^+(aq)+e^-

Al(s)\rightarrow Al^{3+}(aq)+3e^-

A) Li(s) with Al(s)

B) Li(s) with Al^{3+} (aq)

C) Li^+ (aq) with Al(s)

D) Li^+ (aq) with Al^{3+} (aq)

<u>Answer: </u>The correct option is B): Li(s) with Al^{3+} (aq)

<u>Explanation:</u>

The oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species loses electrons in a chemical reaction.

A reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species gains electrons in a chemical reaction.  

The chemical species will undergo a reduction reaction if the value of standard reduction potential is more positive or less negative.

For the given half-reactions:

Li(s)\rightarrow Li^+(aq)+e^-;E^o_{Li^+/Li}=-3.04V

Al(s)\rightarrow Al^{3+}(aq)+3e^-;E^o_{Al^{3+}/Al}=-1.662V

As the value of standard reduction potential of aluminium is less negative. Thus, it undergoes reduction reaction and lithium will undergo oxidation reaction.

The half-reaction follows:

<u>Oxidation half-reaction:</u>  Li(s)\rightarrow Li^+(aq)+e^-            ( × 3)

<u>Reduction half-reaction:</u>  Al^{3+}(aq)+3e^-\rightarrow Al(s)

<u>Overall cell-reaction:</u>  3Li(s)+Al^{3+}(aq)\rightarrow 3Li^+(aq)+Al(s)

Hence, the correct option is B): Li(s) with Al^{3+} (aq)

What type of particle has no mass or charge? <br> A) Alpha <br> B) Beta <br> C) Gamma <br> D) Proton
viva [34]

Answer:

Your answer would be C.

Explanation:

Gamma radiation, unlike alpha or beta, does not consist of any particles, instead consisting of a photon of energy being emitted from an unstable nucleus. Having no mass or charge, gamma radiation can travel much farther through air than alpha or beta, losing (on average) half its energy for every 500 feet.

A piston chamber filled with ideal gas is kept in a constant-temperature bath at 25.0°C. The piston expands from 25.0 mL to 75.0
larisa [96]

Answer : The work done by the system is, 2.2722 J

Explanation :

The expression used for work done in reversible isothermal expansion will be,

w=nRT\ln (\frac{V_2}{V_1})

where,

w = work done = ?

n = number of moles of gas  = 0.00100 mole

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mole K

T = temperature of gas  = 25^oC=273+25=298K

V_1 = initial volume of gas  = 25 mL

V_2 = final volume of gas  = 75 mL

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

w=0.00100mole\times 8.314J/moleK\times 298K\times \ln (\frac{75}{25})

w=2.722J

Therefore, the work done by the system is, 2.2722 J

The following reactions take place in the ozone layer by the absorption of ultraviolet light.
____ [38]

Answer:

Option B will require a shorter wave length of light.

Explanation:

The bonding between Ozone (O3) and Oxygen (O2) can be used to explain why the breaking of oxygen into Oxygen radicals will require a shorter wave length.

  • The bond between Oxygen (O2) is a double bond while Ozone (O3) has an intermediate bond between a double bond and a single bond.
  • The bond order of Oxygen (O2) is equals 2 while that of Ozone (O3) is 1.5. Since the bond order of oxygen is higher, it will require more energy to break the bond compared to breaking the Ozone (O3) bond.
  • Recall that Energy is inversely proportional to wave length.
  • So it will require a shorter wave length to break the Oxygen (O2) into its radicals.
