Question 6 A Equation 1: X(s) + NiCl (aq) → Ni(s) + XCl, (ag) Equation 2: X(s) + MgCl2 (ag) → no reaction A sample of an unknown solid metal, X(s), is added to a solution of NiCl, (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, (ag), no changes are observed. The 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? 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. Zn, because Zn is oxidized more easily than both Mg and Ni. D Zn, because Zn is oxidized more easily than Ni but less easily than Mg.
