(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether reaction occurs if sodium metal is placed in dilute hydrochloric acid or not has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Oxidation process represents loss of electrons. Reduction process represents gain of electrons. Oxidation numbers are the part of system that is formed to track electrons in reaction.

Series formed after arrangement of elements in increasing order of standard reduction potential is called electrochemical series.

Metals placed above in electrochemical series from hydrogen have very negative reduction potential and thus they are better reducing agents. Metals placed below from hydrogen in electrochemical series have positive reduction potential and thus they tend to act as an oxidizing agent in a redox reaction.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether reaction occurs if piece of lead is placed in magnesium nitrate solution or not has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether reaction occurs if mercury is placed in silver nitrate solution or not has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).
