Tha activity series
« on: November 19, 2006, 05:21:47 PM »
Hi everyone!
This is my 1st post-I am taking an at home study chemistry class (grade 12 University level) so I can get into Nursing-Anyway, it has been a while since I have done chem so I need some *delete me*
Here's the question:
For each of the following situations, identify those for which a reaction is likely to occur.For those that do, write a net ionic equation.

a)Chrmium dipped into silver nitrate--I said yes
b) Gold immersed in hydrochloric acid-i said no
c)Nickel pellets dropped into calcium acetate --I don't know
d) Aluminum dropped into a bath of sulphuric acid -i said yes
e) Zinc dipped into a solution of lead(II)nitrate-i said no

Anyway, I have no idea if I am heading in the right direction--I am having a hard time figuring this out
PLEASE *delete me*!!

I'd check your last answer.  For both that and b think about the activity series of metals in solution.  Think about which of the two metals are more stable in the oxidized state (higher on the series)

"American cartoons place characters in situations; anime
places situations around characters.  Anime characters
are not like fictional characters but more like fictional
people; their actions stem directly from their personalities,
and not just as a means to move the story's plot
forward.  We are made to sympathize with them, and
not simply be entertained by them."
