Answer:

Phenol.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, for this question about the strength of the resulting conjugate base, it is possible for us to know that the higher the Ka (stronger aid) the weaker the conjugate base. In such a way, since the phenol has the smallest Ka (weakest acid) we infer that it has the strongest conjugate base.

In addition to the aforementioned, the reason why phenol was the answer is because the Kb of its conjugate base is the greatest due to the Kb=Kw/Ka and thus, the smaller the Ka the bigger Kb.

Regards!

If you put a piece of zinc into a solution of copper (I) sulfate and allow the single replacement reaction to go to completion,

Molodets [167]

Explanation:

Reaction of zinc metal in copper sulfate solution.

$\begin{array}{ll}\text { Oxidation : } & \mathrm{Zn}(s) \rightarrow \mathrm{Zn}^{2+}(a q)+2 e^{-}\\\text {Reduction : } & \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}(a q)+2 e^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}(s) \\\hline \text { Full Reaction : } & \mathrm{Zn}(s)+\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}(a q) \rightarrow \mathrm{Zn}^{2+}(a q)+\mathrm{Cu}(s)\end{array}$

Zinc is listed above copper on the activity series, this means that zinc is more easily oxidized than copper. That is why copper(II) ions can act as an oxidizing agent when put into contact with zinc metal. Ions of any metal that is below zinc, such as lead or silver, would oxidize the zinc in a similar reaction.

How are energy and work related?

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Explanation:

When work is done, energy is transferred between systems, or transformed from one type of energy into another type. Energy shares the same units of measure as work.

The molar concentration of sucrose in a can of soda is 0.375 M. How much sucrose would be found in a 2 liter bottle of soda of t

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

C) 0.75 mol.

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as the no. of moles of solute dissolved in 1.0 L of the solution.

So, The molar concentration of sucrose in a can of soda is 0.375 M means that: every 1.0 L of sucrose contains 0.375 mol of sucrose.

∴ 2 liter bottle of soda of the same concentration contains (2 * 0.375 mol = 0.75 mol) of sucrose.

<em>Thus, the right choice is: C) 0.75 mol.</em>

Cathodic protection of iron involves using another more reactive metal as a sacrificial anode. Classify each of the following me

Anika [276]

Answer:

a. Ag ---> cannot serve as a sacrificial anode for iron because it is lower than iron in the reactivity series. Hence, it is less reactive than iron.

b. Mg ---> can serve as a sacrificial anode for iron because it is higher than iron in the reactivity series. Hence, it is more reactive than iron.

c. Cu ---> cannot serve as a sacrificial anode for iron because it is lower than iron in the reactivity series. Hence, it is less reactive than iron.

d. Pb ---> cannot serve as a sacrificial anode for iron because it is lower than iron in the reactivity series. Hence, it is less reactive than iron.

e. Sn ---> cannot serve as a sacrificial anode for iron because it is lower than iron in the reactivity series. Hence, it is less reactive than iron.

f. Zn ---> can serve as a sacrificial anode for iron because it is higher than iron in the reactivity series. Hence, it is more reactive than iron.

g. Au ---> cannot serve as a sacrificial anode for iron because it is lower than iron in the reactivity series. Hence, it is less reactive than iron.

Explanation:

Cathodic protection of iron involves using another more reactive metal as a sacrificial anode. The reactivity series of metals arranges metals based on decreasing order of reactivity. The more reactive metals are found higher up in the series while the least reactive metals are found at the lower ends of the series. Thus, metals above iron in the reactivity series can serve as sacrificial anodes by protecting against corrosion, while those lower than iron cannot.

Based on the reactivity series, the following metals can be classified as either a sacrificial anode for iron or not:

a. Ag ---> cannot serve as a sacrificial anode for iron because it is lower than iron in the reactivity series. Hence, it is less reactive than iron.

b. Mg ---> can serve as a sacrificial anode for iron because it is higher than iron in the reactivity series. Hence, it is more reactive than iron.

c. Cu ---> cannot serve as a sacrificial anode for iron because it is lower than iron in the reactivity series. Hence, it is less reactive than iron.

d. Pb ---> cannot serve as a sacrificial anode for iron because it is lower than iron in the reactivity series. Hence, it is less reactive than iron.

e. Sn ---> cannot serve as a sacrificial anode for iron because it is lower than iron in the reactivity series. Hence, it is less reactive than iron.

f. Zn ---> can serve as a sacrificial anode for iron because it is higher than iron in the reactivity series. Hence, it is more reactive than iron.

g. Au ---> cannot serve as a sacrificial anode for iron because it is lower than iron in the reactivity series. Hence, it is less reactive than iron.
