Answer:
Mg
Explanation:
The standard reduction potentials are
<u>E°/V
</u>
Au³⁺(aq ) + 3e⁻ ⟶ Au(s); 1.42
Hg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⟶ Hg(l); 0.85
Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ ⟶ Ag(s); 0.80
Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⟶ Cu(s); 0.34
Mg2+(aq) + 2e- ⟶ Mg(s); -2.38
The more negative the standard reduction potential, the stronger the metal is as a reducing agent.
Mg is the only metal with a standard reduction potential lower than that of Cu, so
Only Mg will react spontaneously with Cu²⁺.
Answer:
CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)
Explanation:
The decomposition reaction always make two compounds from one.
The products always have simpler chemical structure, originated from a determined compound. This can happens spontaneously or by a third party.
A notable example of decomposition is hydrolysis. As for example the case of water, which decomposes and generates oxygen and hydrogen gas
2H₂O (l) → 2 H₂ (g) + O₂ (g)
In this case, the calium carbonate decomposes into CaO and CO₂
These two, are the products of the decomposition.
Of course, the unique reactant is the Calcium Carbonate
The balanced equation is:
CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)
Answer:
Explanation:
To calculate the cell potential we use the relation:
Eº cell = Eº oxidation + Eº reduction
Now in order to determine which of the species is going to be oxidized, we have to remember that the more the value of the reduction potential is negative, the greater its tendency to be oxidized is. In electrochemistry we use the values of the reductions potential in the tables for simplicity because the only thing we need to do is change the sign of the reduction potential for the oxized species .
So the species that is going to be oxidized is the Aluminium, and therefore:
Eº cell = -( -1.66 V ) + 0.340 V = 5.06 V
Equally valid is to write the equation as:
Eº cell = Eº reduction for the reduced species - Eº reduction for the oxidized species
These two expressions are equivalent, choose the one you fell more comfortable but be careful with the signs.
Weather... weather is the obvious answer
heterogeneous, because it does not have a uniform texture
hope That helps
