Explain why is sodium less reactive than potassium
leva [86]

Answer:

As potassium is larger than sodium, potassium's valence electron is at a greater distance from the attractive nucleus and is so removed more easily than sodium's valence electron. As it is removed more easily, it requires less energy, and can be said to be more reactive.

A sample of a compound contains 32.0 g C and 8.0 g H. Its molar mass is 30.0 g/mol. What is the compound’s molecular formula
Grace [21]
The compound's molecular formula is C2H6. This is obtained by:
  
            mass             moles               divided by smallest moles
C          32g         32/12 = 2.67                                 1
H           8g           8/1.01 = 7.92                        approx. 3

Next, divide both terms by the smallest number of moles, 2.67. This gives 1 and 3. So the empirical formula is CH3 which has a molar mass of 15g/mol. Given the molar mass of the molecular formula as 30g/mole, we can calculate the factor by which to multiply the subscripts of CH3.

X = molar mass of molecular formula / molar mass of empirical formula = 30/15
X=2

So (CH3)2 is C2H6.

Why does secondary succession usually occur more rapidly than primary succession.
trapecia [35]
Secondary succession occurs more rapidly than primary because soil is already available so there is no need for any other species. Also, there might still be surviving species in the soil present like seeds, roots and other plant organs.
