Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Distillation is a process of separating the contents of a liquid mixture by making use of the difference in the boiling temperatures of the components of the mixture. As the boiling point of each component is reached, it evaporates off and the vapor is condensed and collected to give a pure product.

<em>It is never advisable to distillate to dryness because allowing the content of the distilling flask to dry up can cause heat to damage the flask or in some extreme cases, cause unintended chemical reactions that might alter the outcome of the experiment or cause laboratory accident.</em>

Decide whether a chemical reaction happens in either of the following situations. If a reaction does happen, write the chemical
Natalija [7]

Answer :

Part 1 : Yes, this reaction will take place.

Part 2 : No, this reaction will not take place.

Explanation:

Single replacement reaction : A chemical reaction in which the more reactive element replace the less reactive element.

It is represented as,

A+BC\rightarrow AC+B

In this reaction, A is more reactive element and B is less reactive element.

Reactivity series : It is used to determine the products of the single displacement reactions. As we know that in a single displacement reaction, the most reactive metal displaces the least reactive metal.

Part A :

This reaction will takes place because iron metal is more reactive metal than copper metal. So, iron metal can displaces copper metal from its solution.

The chemical reaction will be:

Fe(s)+Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Fe(NO_3)_2(aq)+Cu(s)

Part B :

This reaction will not takes place because copper metal is less reactive metal than iron metal. So, copper metal can displaces iron metal from its solution.

The chemical reaction will be:

Fe(s)+Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow \text{No reaction}
