Answer:
Maybe or maybe not (not sure)
Explanation:
A displacement reaction is a type of reaction where one element is displaced by another from a compound.
In the case of magnesium and lead nitrate, magnesium is more reactive than lead. Therefore, it will displace lead from lead nitrate to form magnesium nitrate and lead.
The reaction can be represented as:
Mg(s) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) → Mg(NO3)2(aq) + Pb(s)
Another answer could be;
A displacement reaction does not take place in 'magnesium + lead nitrate' because magnesium is more reactive than lead.
2.
The reason why is because there are 2 available electron spots on the orbital for the oxygen atom. Hydrogen atoms have one proton and one electron, thus, in order to fill the oxygen atom orbital to a full outer shell, a maximum of 2 atoms could bond with the oxygen atoms.
6 electrons (oxygen)+ 1 electron (hydrogen)+ 1 electron (hydrogen)= 8
Answer:
- <em>The mystery substance is</em> <u>C. Bromine (Br) </u>
Explanation:
<em>Argon (Ar) </em>is a noble gas. Whose freezing point is -189 °C (very low), thus it cannot be the frozen substance. Also, it is not reactive, thus is would have not reacted with iron. Hence, argon is not the mystery substance.
<em>Scandium (Sc) </em>is a metal from group 3 of the periodic table, thus is will not react with iron. Thus, scandium is not the mystery substance.
Both <em>bromine</em> and <em>iodine</em> are halogens (group 17 of the periodic table).
The freezing point of bromine is −7.2 °C, and the freezing point of iodine is 113.7 °C. Thus, both could be solids (frozen) in the lab.
The reactivity of the halogens decrease from top to bottom inside the group. Bromine is above iodine. Then bromine is more reactive than iodine.
Bromine is reactive enough to react with iron. Iodine is not reactive enough to react with iron.
You can find in the internet that bromine vapour over hot iron reacts producing iron(III) bromide. Also, that bromine vapors are red-brown.
Therefore, <em>the mystery substance is bromine (Br).</em>
