Answer: The metal that has a greater reactivity is more easily oxidized.
Explanation:
Oxidation is when the elements lose electrons and increase their oxidation state.
The metals tend to react by losing electrons and form the corresponding cation.
For expample, sodium (an alkalyne metal) loses one elecron and form the cation Na¹⁺ , then this cation combine with an anion and form compounds like NaCl, NaOH. The same do the other alkalyne metals.
Magnesium (an alkalyne earth metal) loses two electrons and form the cation Mg²⁺, then it combines with some anions to form compounds, like MgSO₄, Mg(OH)₂.
So, the easier the metal gets oxidized the greater its reactivity.
Answer:
97.78% KCl in the original sample
Explanation:
Answer:
5 mph
Explanation:
100 miles, 20 hours (divide by 2)
50 miles, 10 hours (divide by 2)
25 miles, 5 hours (divide by 2)
divide both sides by 5
5 miles, 1 hour
Answer:
16.9g
Explanation:Cu+2AgNO3→2Ag+Cu(NO3)2
Cu will likely have a +2 oxidation state. It is higher in the activity series than Ag, so it is a stronger reducing agent and will reduce Ag in a displacement reaction. Then you need to balance the coefficients knowing than NO3 is -1 and Ag is +1.
Then to calculate the theoretical yield you need to compare moles of the reactants:
m(Cu)=5g
M(Cu)=63.55
n(Cu)=5/63.55=0.0787
By comparing coefficients you require twice as much silver: 0.157mol
n(Ag)=0.157
M(Ag)=107.86
m(Ag)=0.157x107.86=16.9g
Hence, the theoretical yield of this reaction would be 16.9g
