Answer is: <span>b) A/4B.
Chemical reaction: A + 4B </span>→ C + 3D.
from chemical reaction: n(A) : n(B) = 1 : 4.
a) if 1A reacts with 1B, there is not enough B (need 3B more).
c) if 3A react with 4B, there is not enough B (need 8B more).
d) if 4A react with 1B, there is not enough B (need 15B more).

The correct answer is b. Since the equation is balance we can establish that A and B react in the ration 1:4. So in order for the reactants to produce more product there must exist a limiting reactant that gets used up once the ratio of reactants is 1:4 or greater than this value. The first pair of reactants gives us a 1:1 ratio, which means

a.mol A \times \frac{mol C}{mol A} = mol\ C\\\\mol B \times \frac{mol C}{4mol B} = 0.25 mol\ C.

Here B is the limiting reactant and it get used up before we can go above our treshold ratio.

b. mol A \times \frac{mol C}{mol A} = mol C\\\\4mol B \times \frac{mol C}{4mol\ B} = mol\ C

The reactants react in the ratio 1:4 which gives 1 mol of C

c. 3mol A \times \frac{mol C}{mol A} = 3mol\ C\\\\4mol B \times  \frac{mol C}{4mol B} = 1 mol C

The 3:4 ratio makes B be the limiting reactant which means even though we have 3 moles of A, after 1 mol A has reacted all the 4 moles of B will be used up.

d, 4mol A \times \frac{molC }{mol A} = 4mol\ C\\\\mol\ B \times \frac{mol C}{ mol B} = 1 mol C

Here there is not enough moles of B to get more product.

Among the alkali earth metals, the tendency to react with other substances
tatyana61 [14]
Answer: option <span>A) increases from bottom to top within the group.

Explanation:

</span>It is a known trend that the metallic character of the elements increase from let to right and from top to bottom.

The greater the metallic character the greater the reactivity of the metal.

So, the elements of the columns 1 and 2 are the most reactive metals and among them the elements at the bottom are yet more reactive.

<span>The higher reactivity of the metals that are lower in the periodic table is attributed to the greater total number of electrons.

The greater the total number of electrons the more reactive the metals as their outermost electrons (the valence electrons which are those that react) are located further from the nucleus and therefore they are held less strongly, which makes them react more easily.</span>
