Answer:
B) Their valence shell is full
Explanation:
In order to be classified as a noble gas, an element must have a complete octet/ a full shell of valence electrons, as shown in answer B.
A and C are just incorrect. Since noble gasses are very unstable, D is a true statement, but is isn't the correct answer as this does not explain why they are inert.

Answer:
Hands-free eyewash stations, sand bucket, fire blankets, fire extinguishers, fire alarm system and first aid kit.
Explanation:
Working in laboratories has many risks, therefore, preventive measures that should be incorporated to avoid the occurrence of any laboratory accidents.
Some of the important emergency equipment that should be available in laboratories are: hands-free eyewash stations, sand bucket, fire blankets, fire extinguishers, fire alarm system, chemical storage cabinet, first aid kits and fume hood.
Some of the personal protective equipment include lab coats, goggles, safety gloves and face shield.
Answer:
a) Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O(s) + <em>2 </em>NH₄SCN(s) → Ba(SCN)₂(s) +<em>10</em> H₂O(l) + <em>2</em> NH₃(g)
b) 3.14g must be added
Explanation:
a) For the reaction:
Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O(s) + NH₄SCN(s) → Ba(SCN)₂(s) + H₂O(l) + NH₃(g)
As you see, there are 8 moles of water in reactants and 2 moles of oxygen in octahydrate, thus, water moles must be 10:
Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O(s) + NH₄SCN(s) → Ba(SCN)₂(s) +<em>10</em> H₂O(l) + NH₃(g)
To balance hydrogens, the other coefficients are:
Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O(s) + <em>2 </em>NH₄SCN(s) → Ba(SCN)₂(s) +<em>10</em> H₂O(l) + <em>2</em> NH₃(g)
b) As you see in the balanced reaction, 1 mole of barium hydroxide octahydrate reacts with 2 moles of NH₄SCN. 6.5g of Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O are:
6.5 g × (1mol / 315.48g) =<em> 0.0206moles of Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O</em>. Thus, moles of NH₄SCN that must be used for a complete reaction are:
0.0206moles of Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O × ( 2 mol NH₄SCN / 1 mol Ba(OH)₂.8H₂O) = <em>0.0412moles of NH₄SCN</em>. In grams:
0.0412moles of NH₄SCN × ( 76.12g / 1mol) = <em>3.14g must be added</em>
