We have to fill the gap

The correct answer is: Metals with the largest atoms and the smallest number of valence electrons and non-metals with the smallest atoms and the greatest number of valence electrons are the most reactive.

Reactivity of any species depends on ease of release or gain of electron. The species which can release electron easily from valence shell, the species is more reactive whereas the species which can accept electron to its valence shell easily is also more reactive.

Explanation:

Metals are the substances that contain less number of valence electrons. Whereas as non-metals are the substances that contain more number of valence electrons.

Also, when we move down a group then there occurs increase in size of atoms due to addition of electrons.

So, outer shell of atoms move away from the nucleus. Hence, force of attraction between nucleus and valence electrons of metals decreases. So, metals are able to lose an electron easily with increase in size.

On the other hand, non-metals find it difficult to attract an electron when increase in size of atom occurs.

Thus, we can conclude that metals with the largest atoms and the smallest number of valence electrons and non-metals with the smallest atoms and the greatest number of valence electrons are the most reactive.

Consider the following intermediate chemical equations.
QveST [7]

Answer: 250 kJ

Explanation: According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to Hess’s law, the chemical equation can be treated as algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

P_4(s)+6Cl_2\rightarrow 4PCl_3  \Delta H_1=-2439kJ (1)

4PCl_5(g)\rightarrow P_4(s)+10Cl_2(g)  \Delta H_2=3438kJ (2)

Net chemical equation:

PCl_5(g)\rightarrow PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)  \Delta H=? (3)

Adding 1 and 2 we get,

4PCl_5(g)\rightarrow 4PCl_3(g)+4Cl_2 \Delta H_3=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2=-2439+3438=1000kJ   (4)

Now dividing equation (4) by 4, we get

PCl_5(g)\rightarrow PCl_3(g)+Cl_2

\Delta H=\frac{\Delta H_3}{4}=\frac{1000kJ}{4}=250kJ   (4)

How many moles of hydrogen ions are formed in the ionization of 0.250 moles of H2SO4?
True [87]

Answer:

The ionization of 0.250 moles of H₂SO₄ will produce 0.5 moles of H⁺ (hydrogen ion)

Explanation:

From the ionization of H₂SO₄, we have

H₂SO₄ → 2H⁺ + SO₄²⁻

Hence, at 100% yield, one mole of H₂SO₄ produces two moles of H⁺ (hydrogen ion) and one mole of SO₄²⁻ (sulphate ion), therefore, 0.250 moles of H₂SO₄ will produce 2×0.250 moles of H⁺ (hydrogen ion) or 0.5 moles of H⁺ (hydrogen ion) and 0.25 moles of SO₄²⁻ (sulphate ion).

That is; 0.250·H₂SO₄ → 0.5·H⁺ + 0.250·SO₄²⁻.

What experimental observations indicate a chemical change is taking place?
Anestetic [448]
A chemical change is characterized of the formation of new substances or a chemical reaction. There are a number of observations that we can see if this type of change happens. One would be the formation of gas bubbles, this indicates that one of the products is a gas. Another observation would be a formation of a precipitate in the solution, it would indicate that the new solid formed is not soluble in the solution. A permanent color change in the solution would also indicate a chemical change because it may be that the new substance that is formed has its own distinct color when in solution.

What is the difference between Arrhenius acids-base and bronsted-lowry acids bases? Justify your answer.
Oxana [17]

Answer:

A Bronsted-Lowry acid like and Arrhenius acid is a compound that breaks down to give an H+ in solution. The only difference is that the solution does not have to be water. ... An Arrhenius base is a molecule that when dissolved in water will break down to yield an OH- or hydroxide in solution.
