In experiment #6 you learned that zn will dissolve in acidic aqueous solutions as zn2+, but cu will not dissolve because cu is less active than h2. a stronger oxidizing agent than h+ is required to oxidize cu. aqueous solutions of are strong oxidizing agents that are capable of oxidizing a number of less active metals, including cu.

In november 1987, a massive iceberg broke loose from the antartic ice mass and floated free in the ocean. the chunk of ice was estimated to be 98 mi long, 25 mi wide, and 750 ft thick. a typical backyard swimming pool contains about 24,000 gallons of water. how many of these pools could you fill from the water in this iceberg? (assume the iceberg is a rectangular solid of the above dimensions and consists of water only). express answer in scientific notation.
