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.

Need what is special about water as a compound? how does water regulate climate? what drives water evaporation?   why is the water vapor fresh water when it rises from the ocean? why might freshwater in the form of snow take longer to enter the water cycle again than liquid precipitation?   what is an aquifer? what role do people play in the water cycle? plz just answer as many as you can ! thx if you !

Ariver current has a velocity of 5km/h relative to the shore, and a boat moves in the same direction as the current at 5 km/h relative to the river. how can the velocity of the boat relative to the shore be calculated?
