(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Using the activity series inTable 15.3, indicate whether each of the following reactions is spontaneous:

  Zn(s) + Ca2+(aq)Zn2+(aq) + Ca(s)

Concept Introduction: The activity series of metals arranged from most active to least reactive:

Li > K> Ba> Ca> Na > Mg > Al > Zn > Cr > Fe > Cd > Ni > Sn > Pb > H> Cu > Ag >Hg > Pt> Au

Most active metals are easily oxidized and readily lose electrons as oxidation is the loss of electrons.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Using the activity series inTable 15.3, indicate whether each of the following reactions is spontaneous:

  2Al(s) + 3Sn2+(aq)2Al3+(aq) + 3Sn(s)

Concept Introduction:The activity series of metals arranged from most active to least reactive:

Li > K> Ba> Ca> Na > Mg > Al > Zn > Cr > Fe > Cd > Ni > Sn > Pb > H> Cu > Ag >Hg > Pt> Au

Most active metals are easily oxidized and readily lose electrons as oxidation is the loss of electrons.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Using the activity series inTable 15.3, indicate whether each of the following reactions is spontaneous:

  Mg(s) + 2H+(aq)Mg2+(aq) + H2(g)

Concept Introduction:The activity series of metals arranged from most active to least reactive:

Li > K> Ba> Ca> Na > Mg > Al > Zn > Cr > Fe > Cd > Ni > Sn > Pb > H> Cu > Ag >Hg > Pt> Au

Most active metals are easily oxidized and readily lose electrons as oxidation is the loss of electrons.
