Suppose an Olympic diver who weighs 52.0 kg executes a straight dive from a 10-m platform. At the apex of the dive, the diver is 10.8 m above the surface of the water. (a) What is the potential energy of the diver at the apex of the dive, relative to the surface of the water?
Consider the following unbalanced oxidation-reduction reactions in aqueous solution:
Ag+(aq) + Li(s) → Ag(s) + Li+(aq)
Fe(s) + Na+(aq) → Fe2+(aq) + Na(s)
K(s) + H2O(l) → KOH(aq) + H2(g)
(a) Balance second reaction.

Suppose an Olympic diver who weighs 52.0 kg executes a straight dive from a 10-m platform. At the apex of the dive, the diver is 10.8 m above the surface of the water. (b) Assuming that all the potential energy of the diver is converted into kinetic energy at the surface of the water, at what speed, in m/s, will the diver enter the water?
Consider the following unbalanced oxidation-reduction reactions in aqueous solution:
Ag+(aq) + Li(s) → Ag(s) + Li+(aq)
Fe(s) + Na+(aq) → Fe2+(aq) + Na(s)
K(s) + H2O(l) → KOH(aq) + H2(g)
(a) Balance third reaction.
Consider the following unbalanced oxidation-reduction reactions in aqueous solution:
Ag+(aq) + Li(s) → Ag(s) + Li+(aq)
Fe(s) + Na+(aq) → Fe2+(aq) + Na(s)
K(s) + H2O(l) → KOH(aq) + H2(g)
(d) Use the activity series to predict which of these reactions should occur. (Section 4.4) Are these results in accord with your conclusion in part (c) of this problem?
