*20 POINTS* PLZ HELP: How is matter conserved during the carbon cycle? In your answer be sure to mention how carbon moves from the atmosphere into earth/ocean through plants and animals. Also, be sure to mention how carbon is released back into the atmosphere. Does the amount of carbon ever change as it moves from one place to another? Your response should be 5-7 sentences.

Consider three unlabeled bottles, each contain small pieces of one of the following metals. - magnesium - sodium - silver the following reagents are used for identifying the metals. - pure water - a solution of 1.0 molar hcl - a solution of concentrated hno3 (a) which metal can be easily identified because it is much softer than the other two? describe a chemical test that distinguishes this metal from the other two, using only one of the reagents above. write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs. (b) one of the other two metals reacts readily with the hcl solution. identify the metal and write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs when this metal is added to the hcl solution. use the table of standard reduction potentials (attached) to account for the fact that this metal reacts with hcl while the other does not. (c) the one remaining metal reacts with the concentrated hno3 solution. write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs. (d) the solution obtained in (c) is diluted and a few drops of 1 m hcl is added. describe what would be observed. write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs.

The name of the ion, s2-, is: sulfurous ion sulfide ion sulfur ion sulfate ion

For each of the following compounds, write the formula then predict whether it would be a strong, weak, or non-electrolyte when placed in di water. for the ionic compounds only, put (s) or (aq) after the forrmula formula strong, weak or non electrolyte? a calcium hydroxide b. silver carbonate c. lead(ii) sulfate d. phosphorus trifluoride e. sodium phosphide f barium sulfate g. strontium acetate h. zinc nitrate
