Answer: The correct answer is option B.
Explanation: Reactivity of elements is defined as the tendency to loose or gain electrons.
These reactions are a type of single displacement reactions. A single displacement reaction is a type of reaction in which an element displaces another element in a chemical reaction. These are studied with the help of reactivity series.
The element which lies above in the reactivity series can easily displace the element which lies below in the reactivity series.
Option A: This reaction will not yield a stable product because Zinc lies below Aluminium in the reactivity series.
Option B: This reaction will yield a stable product because Sodium lies above Calcium in the reactivity series.
Option C: This reaction will not yield a stable product because Hydrogen lies below Magnesium in the reactivity series.
Option D: This reaction will not yield a stable product because Calcium lies below Barium in the reactivity series.
Option E: This reaction will not yield a stable product because barium lies below Lithium in the reactivity series.
Answer:
Explanation:
From similar question, equation (b) is
Molecular Equation:
- Cu(s) + 2AgNO₃(aq) → Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2Ag(s)
Net Ionic Equation:
- Cu(s) + 2Ag⁺(aq) → Cu²⁺(aq) + 2Ag(s)
<u>1. Mole ratio:</u>
<u>2. Convert 1.147 g of Cu(s) to moles:</u>
- Atomic mass of Cu: 63.546g/mol
- Number of moles = mass in grams / atomic mass
- Number of moles = 1.147 g / 63.546 g/mol = 0.01805 mol Cu(s)
<u />
<u>3. Calculate the moles of Ag(s):</u>
<u />
<u>4. Convert 0.03610 mol Ag(s) to grams:</u>
- Atomic mass of Ag(s) = 107.868g/mol
- Mass = 0.03610mol × 107.868g/mol = 3.894g
