Single-Replacement Reactions 1. Copper reacts with silver nitrate to form silver metal and copper(II) nitrate. copper metal + silver nitrate silver metal + copper(II) nitrate 2. Zinc metal reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce zinc chloride and hydrogen.
The first is by composition. The typical composition of an asteroid depends on its distance from the Sun. At the outer edges of the asteroid belt, that is between three and three and a half times further from the Sun than the Earth, over eighty percent of the asteroids are known as C-type.rom piles of 'rubble' to complex mixtures of metals, and carbon and silicon compounds, asteroids are not just dull grey lumps of cratered rock... We find that asteroids are fascinating objects, varying in composition and shape.
An asteroidâs composition is mainly determined by how close it is to the Sun. The asteroids that are nearest the Sun are mostly made of carbon, with smaller amounts of nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen, while the ones further away are made up of silicate rock.Silicates are very common on Earth and in the Solar System.n asteroidâs composition is mainly determined by how close it is to the Sun.
