A. Zn²⁺

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Cations of several elements

Required

The least to be reduced

Solution

If we look at the voltaic series:

<em>Li-K-Ba-Ca-Na-Mg-Al-Mn- (H2O) -Zn-Cr-Fe²⁺-Cd-Co-Ni-Sn-Pb- (H) -Cu-Hg-Fe³⁺-Ag-Pt-Au </em>

The electrode which is easier to reduce than the hydrogen (H2) electrode has a positive sign (E red= +) and is located to the right of the voltaic series (right of H)

The electrode which is easier to oxidize than the hydrogen (H2) electrode and is difficult to experience reduction has a negative sign (E red= -) and is located to the left of the voltaic series (left of H)

Or you can look at the standard reduction potential value of the metals in the answer options, and the most negative reduction E° value which will be difficult to reduce.

The Zn metal is located far left of the other metals in the answer choices, so it is the most difficult to reduce

Which process is an example of a chemical change?
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

A is the closest thing. You change the composition of the steak. You don't in any of the others.

Explanation:

Usually when you cook something, you are doing something to the composition of the object being cooked. A steak might not be obvious, but boiling an egg should be.

Chopping a tree is something physical. You are removing mass in such a way that the tree will fall. There's nothing chemical about that.

Heating a cup of tea looks like it might be chemical. After all steam is sometimes given off which looks like it is chemical. It's not. The water in the tea is just changing phase.

Drying clothes in a dryer. Again, this looks like something might have changed. After all the mass of the clothes just became less. But all you are doing is separating two masses (leaving one of them behind).

My Everest is the highest mountain on earth.its height is 8.848 km. Convert this height to feet. Write your answer in standard n
Vinvika [58]

Answer: 2.9(10)^{7} ft

Explanation:

Firstly we need to know that 1 km=3280.84 ft, then we cam make the conversion:

8848 km \frac{3280.84 ft}{1 km}=29,028,872.32 ft This is the height of Mount Everest in feet

However, we can express it using scientific notation by counting to the left the decimal spaces:

29,028,872.32 ft \approx 2.9(10)^{7} ft
