Equation 1: X(s)+ NiCl, (aq)Ni(s) + XCl,(aq) Equation 2: X(s) + MgCl, (aq) → no reaction A sample of an unknown solid metal, X(s), is added to a solution of NiCl2 (ag), which results in the formation of Ni(s) and XCI2 (ag). When a sample of X(s) is added to a solution of MgCl, (aq), no changes are observed. The results of the experiment are summarized in equations 1 and 2. Which of the following represents a possible identity of metal X and provides the correct justification? A Cu, because Cu is oxidized more easily than both Mg and Ni. Cu, because Cu is oxidized more easily than Ni but less easily than Mg. C Zn, because Zn is oxidized more easily than both Mg and Ni. Zn because Zn is oxidized more easily than Ni but less easily than Mg.
