Explanation:
An endothermic reaction is one in which energy is absorbed and the change in enthalpy for the reaction is positive.
If we look at the reaction 2HgO + 45kcal ----> 2Hg + O2; we will notice that
i) 45kcal of energy was taken in (absorbed) for the reaction to occur
ii) The value of the reaction enthalpy is positive
For these two reasons, the reaction is an endothermic reaction as written.
Answer:
Mg
Explanation:
The standard reduction potentials are
<u>E°/V
</u>
Au³⁺(aq ) + 3e⁻ ⟶ Au(s); 1.42
Hg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⟶ Hg(l); 0.85
Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ ⟶ Ag(s); 0.80
Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⟶ Cu(s); 0.34
Mg2+(aq) + 2e- ⟶ Mg(s); -2.38
The more negative the standard reduction potential, the stronger the metal is as a reducing agent.
Mg is the only metal with a standard reduction potential lower than that of Cu, so
Only Mg will react spontaneously with Cu²⁺.
They bond because they want to make their outer electron shells more stable
