Elements in the same column of the periodic table exhibit similar properties (periodicity). Carbon, in Group XIV (14), and elements below it in the same column react in similar fashion. The most similar element to carbon is silicon (Si).
Answer:
Reactants are substances that start a chemical reaction, and products are substances that are produced in the reaction

The ph of a saturated solution of Ca(OH)2 is 12.35
CALCULATION:
For the reaction
Ca(OH)2 → Ca2+ + 2OH-
we will use the Ksp expression to solve for the concentration [OH-] and then use the acid base concepts to get the pH:
Ksp = [Ca2+][OH-]^2
The listed Ksp value is 5.5 x 10^-6. Substituting this to the Ksp expression, we have
Ksp = 5.5 x 10^-6 = (s) (2s)^2 = 4s^3
s3 = 5.5x10^-6 / 4
Taking the cube root, we now have
s = cube root of (5.5x10^-6 / 4)s
= 0.01112
We know that the value of [OH-] is actually equal to 2s:
[OH-] = 2s = 2 * 0.01112 = 0.02224 M
We can now calculate for pOH:
pOH = - log [OH-]
= -log(0.02224)
= 1.65
Therefore, the pH is
pH = 14 - pOH
= 14 - 1.65
= 12.35
Yes, it is possible to combine the same two elements to form two different compounds. An example is carbon dioxide CO2 and carbon monoxide CO. This is because two elements can form different types of bond and end up with different compounds.
There is a limited number of elements but a large number of compounds because of the above reason.
Answer: c. the amounts of the reactants
Explanation:
Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle. This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.
For the given reaction:
If the concentration of one of the products is increased, so according to the Le-Chatelier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease of concentration of product takes place. Therefore, the equilibrium will shift in the left direction i.e. towards the reactants and thus more reactants will be formed.
