Mature elephants consume an average of 600 pounds of food per day. If an elephant

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{4 600 000 kg or 4600 Mg}}$

Explanation:

1. Calculate the adult life

If the elephant is an adult from its 10th birthday until the day before its 56th birthday, its

Adult life = 55 - 10 + 1 = 46 yr

2. Convert years to days

$\text{Adult life} = \text{46 yr} \times \dfrac{\text{365.25 da}}{\text{1 yr}} = \text{16 800 da}$

3. Convert days to pounds of feed

$\text{Feed} = \text{16 800 da} \times \dfrac{\text{600 lb}}{\text{1 da}} = 1.01 \times 10^{7} \text{ lb}$

4. Convert pounds to kilograms and megagrams

$\text{Feed} =1.01 \times 10^{7} \text{ lb} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kg}}{\text{2.20 lb}} =\textbf{4 600 000 kg} = \textbf{4600 Mg}\\\\\text{The elephant will eat $\large \boxed{\textbf{4 600 000 kg or 4600 Mg}}$ of food.}$

Note: The answer can have only two significant figures because that is all you gave for age of the elephant.

Which statement describes why sodium reacts more vigorously than magnesium to hydrochloric acid? Refer to the periodic table. Ci

lions [1.4K]

Sodium has a lower ionization energy than magnesium describes why sodium reacts vigorously than magnesium chloride.

<h3>Why is sodium more reactive than magnesium?</h3>

Sodium is more reactive than magnesium because it has the ability to easily lose electron, hence have lower ionization energy.
Sodium belong to group one on the periodic table and they are called akali metal while magnesium belong to group two on the periodic table and they are called alkali Earth metal.

Sodium and magnesium belong to the in the 3rd period. Iin the outermost energy level sodium has one electron but magnesium has 2 electrons. Therefore, there is more attraction abetween the nucleus and electrons in magnesium than that of sodium.

Therefore, sodium is more reactive than magnesium chloride because of lower ionization energy.

Which of these has the most covalent character? <br> NaF Caf2 Bef2 CsF SrF2

Ksenya-84 [330]

Thus BeF2 is of most covalent character.

Anyways, covalent/ionic character is a bit tricky to figure out; we measure the difference in electronegativity of two elements bonding together and we use the following rule of thumb: if the charge is 0 (or a little more), the bond is non-polar covalent; if the charge is > 0 but < 2.0 (some references say 1.7), the bond is polar covalent; if the charge is > 2.0 then the bond is ionic. Covalent character refers to smaller electronegativity difference while ionic character refers to greater electronegativity difference.

Now, notice all of our bonds are with F, fluorine, which has the highest electronegativity of 3.98. This means that to determine character we need to consider the electronegativities of the other elements -- whichever has the greatest electronegativity has the least difference and most covalent character.
Na, sodium, has electronegativity of 0.93, so our difference is ~3 -- meaning our bond is ionic. Ca, calcium, has 1.00, leaving our difference to again be ~3 and therefore the bond is ionic. Be, beryllium, has 1.57 yielding a difference of ~2.5, meaning we're still dealing with ionic bond. Cs, cesium, has 0.79, meaning our difference is again ~3 and therefore again our compound is of ionic bond. Lastly, we have Sr, strontium, with an electronegativity of 0.95 and therefore again a difference of roughly 3 and an ionic bond. <span>
