(a)
Interpretation:If the given reaction is spontaneous should be determined using the activity series in Table 15.3.
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: If the given reaction is spontaneous should be determined using the activity series in Table 15.3.

The nitrogen monoxide (NO) thai forms is one of the exhaust gases that contributes to air pollution by forming smog and acid rain. 15.3.1 The gases in a car engine and exhaust systems reach extremely high temperatures. What effect will (a) the high temperature and (b) the addition of a catalyst have on the production of NO(g) and therefore the degree of pollution?

- In the "Méthode Champenoise," grape juice is fermented in a wine bottle to produce sparkling wine. The reaction is C,H12Os (aq) + 2C, H;OH(aq) + 2002(9) Fermentation of 893 ml grape juice (density is 1.0 g/cm') is allowed to take place in a bottle with a total volume of 971 mL until 15% by volume is ethanol (C,H; OH). Assuming that CO2 obeys Henry's law, calculate the partial pressure of CO, in the gas phase and the solubility of CO, in the wine at 25°C. The Henry's law constant for CO, is 3.1 x 10-2 mol/L atm at 25°C with Henry's law in the form C = kP, where C is the concentration of the gas in mol/L. (The density of ethanol is 0.79 g/cm.)
