Question

Given for this problem:

Element R has a molecular weight of 72.00   Note!! Element R is not a real element.

Element A has a molecular weight of 22.00   Note!! Element A is not a real element.

Given the reaction  2R + 3A  =   R2A3

q = mass X specific heat X (Tfinal - Tinitial)

specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g oC

% Yield = (actual/theoretical) X 100

Given this hypothetical activity series:

Li > Na > Mg > A > Al > Zn > H > Cu > R > Ag > Pt

Explain what happens when hypothetical metal R is placed in a solution of ACl.  Will there be a reaction?  If yes why.
