Consider the following reagents: zinc, copper, mercury (density
13.6 g/mL), silver nitrate solution, nitric acid solution.
(a) Given a 500-mL Erlenmeyer flask and a balloon, can you
combine two or more of the foregoing reagents to initiate a
chemical equation to represent this process. What
is the identity of the substance that inflates the balloon?
(b) What is the theoretical yield of the substance that fills
the balloon? (c) Can you combine two or more of the foregoing
reagents to initiate a chemical reaction that will produce
metallic silver? Write a balanced chemical equation to
represent this process. What ions are left behind in solution?
(d) What is the theoretical yield of silver?
