Metals posses varying reduction potentials. Iron can reduce Cu+2 (aq) to copper metal. Silver can reduce Au+ (aq) to gold metal.

Answer: The true statement is iron can reduce $Au^+(aq)$ to gold metal

Explanation:

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction.

The reactivity of metal is determined by a series known as reactivity series. The metals lying above in the series are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

$A+BC\rightarrow AC+B$

Metal A is more reactive than metal B.

We are given:

Iron can reduce copper, silver can reduce gold, sodium can reduce iron and copper can reduce silver metal.

The increasing order of reactivity thus follows:

$Au$

where, sodium is most reactive and gold is least reactive

For the given options:

Option 1: Copper cannot easily reduce sodium ion to sodium metal because it is less reactive.

$Cu(s)+Na^+(aq.)\rightarrow \text{ No reaction}$

Option 2: Iron cant easily reduce gold ion to gold metal because it is more reactive.

$Fe(s)+3Au^+(aq.)\rightarrow Fe^{3+}(aq.)+3Au(s)$

Option 3: Silver cannot easily reduce iron ion to iron metal because it is less reactive.

$Ag(s)+Fe^{3+}(aq.)\rightarrow \text{ No reaction}$

Hence, the true statement is iron can reduce $Au^+(aq)$ to gold metal

The average propane cylinder for a residential grill holds approximately 18 kg of propane. How much energy (in kJ) is released b

brilliants [131]

Combustion is a chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant, oxygen, to give off combustion products and heat. Complete combustion results when all of the fuel is consumed to form carbon dioxide and water, as in the case of a hydrocarbon fuel. Incomplete combustion results when insufficient oxygen reacts with the fuel, forming soot and carbon monoxide.

The complete combustion of propane proceeds through the following reaction:
$C_{3} H_{8}$ + $5O_{2}$ --> $3CO_{2}$ + $4H_{2}O$

Combustion is an exothermic reaction, which means that it gives off heat as the reaction proceeds. For the complete combustion of propane, the heat of combustion is (-)2220 kJ/mole, where the minus sign indicates that the reaction is exothermic.

The molar mass of propane is 44.1 grams/mole. Using this value, the number of moles propane to be burned can be determined from the mass of propane given. Afterwards, this number of moles is multiplied by the heat of combustion to give the total heat produced from the reaction of the given mass of propane.

14.50 kg propane x 1000 g x 1 mole propane x 2220 kJ 
1 kg 44.1 g 1 mole

= 729,931.97 kJ

What is the balanced net ionic equation including phases for K2SO4 and SrI2

Triss [41]

Answer:

Sr 2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) → SrSO4(s)

Explanation:

Step 1: Write a properly balanced equation with states:

K2SO4(aq) + Srl2(aq) → 2KI(aq) + SrSO4(s)

Step 2: write the full ionic equation with states. Remember to keep molecules intact. Only states (aq) will dissociate, (s) will not dissociate . This means SrSO4 won't dissociate.

2K+(aq) + SO42-(aq) + Sr 2+(aq) + 2I-(aq) → 2K+(aq) + 2I-(aq) + SrSO4(s)

Step 3: Balanced net ionic equation

Sr 2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) → SrSO4(s)

Which best explains how insects help flowering plants in reproduction?

ankoles [38]

Answer:

if insects helps in pollination that is called entomophily

Explanation:

Some plants having attractive odor and color which attracted the insects towards it and when they come in contact with flowering plant the seed or pollens which is produced by the male part of plant got attached to their body and when insects travels to other flowering plants pollens sheds to stigma which is female part of flower and in results fertilization occur.
