Chemistry

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

Define the following terms:
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

a)An endothermic reaction is any chemical reaction that absorbs heat from its environment. The absorbed energy provides the activation energy for the reaction to occur eg Melting of ice, Evaporating liquid water

   b)An Exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that involves the release of energy in the form of heat or light.eg a spark, flame, or flash), electricity , a battery), or sound , explosion heard when burning hydrogen).

c)By definition an exothermic reaction produces heat as part of it’s process. The heat generated just by being alive is an exothermic process as well. And as such we become aware of when we feel “too cold” or “too hot” and try to either adjust to the conditions we are in, or minimize them, if possible. It is not merely odd, but contrary to intelligent living, that we choose to increase our discomfort and also risk our health by intentionally increasing not only the exothermic reactions we use but also maximize them to our own detriment. In short, the increased use of inefficient exothermic reactions while inexpensive in current evaluations of financial cost are extremely expensive in terms of it’s effect upon living things, including ourselves. It is as though we are choosing our homes to not only be next to a furnace, but as close as possible to the process.

Many scientist compare the parts of a cell to the parts of a factory. Do you think this comparison is fair and useful?
Fittoniya [83]
Yes. Parts of a cell work together just like stations in a factory.

What's wrong with this thermochemical equation?
mafiozo [28]

This thermochemical equation needs to be balanced. Hence, option B is correct.

<h3>What is a balanced chemical equation?</h3>

A balanced equation contains the same number of each type of atom on both the left and right sides of the reaction arrow.

The balanced thermochemical equation is:

H_2(g) + 2NaCl (s) + 3O_2 (g) → 2HCl (l) + 2Na (s) + 2O_3 (g)

Hence, option B is correct.

The rate constant for a particular zero-order reaction is 0.075 M s-1. If the initial concentration of reactant is 0.537 M it ta
Anarel [89]

Answer:

It takes 5.83s to decrease the concentration of the reactant from 0.537M to 0.100M

Explanation:

A zero-order reaction follows the equation:

[A] = [A]₀ - kt

<em>Where [A] is actual reaction of the reactant = 0.100M</em>

<em>[A]₀ the initial concentration = 0.537M</em>

<em>k is rate constant = 0.075Ms⁻¹</em>

<em>And t is time it takes:</em>

<em />

0.100M = 0.537M -0.075Ms⁻¹t

-0.437M = -0.075Ms⁻¹t

5.83s = t

It takes 5.83s to decrease the concentration of the reactant from 0.537M to 0.100M
