Depends on what the problems are, you are going to have to be a bit more specific, Young Padawan
Answer:
Wouldn't rust because zinc will lose electrons more readily than iron and will therefore oxidize first.
Explanation:
This process whereby rusting of steel is prevented by coating the steel with a layer of zinc is known as galvanization.
Now, in this process, the steel object will be coated in a thin layer of zinc. This coating will prevent oxygen and water from reaching the underneath metal since the zinc will also act as a sacrificial metal.
Now, Zinc is used because it has a lower reduction potential than iron and thus it will get easily more oxidized than iron. Which means the zinc will lose electrons more readily than iron.
Also, since zinc has a lower reduction potential, it is therefore the more active metal. Thus, even if the zinc coating is scratched and the steel is exposed to moist air, the zinc will still get to oxidize before the iron.
Answer:
A. CsBr(s)
Explanation:
we will get here compound with the lowest lattice energy
solution
As we know that Lattice energy is always proportional to the charge of ions and it is inversely proportional to the size of ions.
so that by the smallest charge and the largest size give us the lowest lattice energy and that charge and size is express as here as
Charge
Cs (+1), K(+1), Na (+1), Cl(-1), Br(-1), Sr(+2), Ca(+2), O(-2) .......................1
and
Size
Na+ < Ca2+ < K+ < Sr2+ < Cs+, O2- < Cl- < Br- ..........................2
so that here
correct answer is A. CsBr
