Why is strontium more reactive than calcium but less reactive than rubidium?
1 answer:
Sr is below Ca and to the right of Rb in the Periodic Table (see the attached image).
Reactivity increases from <em>top to bottom of a Group</em>. Sr is below Ca, so it is <em>more reactive</em> than Ca.
Reactivity decreases from <em>left to right in a Period</em>. Sr is to the right of Rb, so it is <em>less reactive</em> than Rb.

The Keq for the reaction N₂ + 3H2 = 2NH3 if the equilibrium concentrations are Keq = 1.5. The correct option is D.
<h3>What is Keq?</h3>Keq is the ratio of the concentration of reactant to the concentration of the product.
The balanced equation is
N₂ + 3H₂ = 2NH₃
The equilibrium constant is
The given concentrations of the compounds have been:
Ammonia = 3 M
Nitrogen = 1 M
Hydrogen = 2 M
Thus, the correct option is D. Keq = 1.5.
