What does it mean for a substance to have high reactivity?

Reactivity is the tendency of a substance to undergo chemical reaction, either by itself or with other materials, and to release energy.

A)

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When we say that a substance has high reactivity then it means the substance is able to react readily with another substance.

For example, atomic number of potassium is 19 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 8, 1.

Since, it has only one valence electron and to attain stability it just needs 8 electrons in its valence shell. So, it will readily lose its 1 valence electron and thus become very much reactive in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that for a substance to have high reactivity it means that it reacts easily with other substances.

Which one of the following compounds will be least soluble in water?
algol [13]

Water is a polar solvent. Since, 'Like dissolves like' a polar compound will be most soluble in water whereas a non-polar compound will be the least soluble.

The increasing order of polarity for the given organic compounds is:-

CH3OCH3 < CH3NH2 < CH3CHO < CH3CH2OH

Ether is the least polar and hence least soluble in water.

Identify the correct descriptions of beta particles.
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

a. A beta particle has a negative charge. d. A beta particle is a high-energy electron.

Explanation:

Identify the correct descriptions of beta particles.

a. A beta particle has a negative charge. YES. A beta particle is originated in the following nuclear reaction: ¹₀n ⇒ ¹₁H + ⁰₋₁e (beta particle.)

b. A beta particle contains neutrons. NO. It is a electron originated in the nucleus.

c. A beta particle is less massive than a gamma ray. NO. Gamma rays don't have mass while a beta particle has a mass which is half of one thousandth of the mass of a proton.

d. A beta particle is a high-energy electron. YES. Beta particles are nuclear originated hig-energy electrons.

Thallium consists of 29.5%TI-203 and 70.5%TI-205. What is the relative atomic mass of thallium
Galina-37 [17]
To determine the relative atomic mass of thallium, we multiply the molar mass of the isotopes to their corresponding relative abundance. The molecular percentages should sum up to 1. In this case, we multiply 203 by 0.295 and 205 by 0.705 and add the answers of the two. The final atomic mass is 204.41 g/mol.

Given the following balanced equation, determine the rate of reaction with respect to [Cl2]. If the rate of Cl2 loss is 4.44 × 1
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

8.88 x 10⁻² M/s

Explanation:

The rate  of reaction for:

                    NO(g) + Cl₂ (g) ⇒  2NOCl(g)

is rate = -ΔNO/Δt = -ΔCl2/Δt = 1/2 ΔNOCl/Δt

so  ΔNOCl/Δt = 2 ΔCl2/Δt  = 2  x 4.44 × 10⁻²  M/s = 8.88 x 10⁻² M/s

In general given a reaction

                            aA + bB ⇒ cC + dD

rate = -1/a ΔA/Δt = -1/b ΔB/Δt = 1/c ΔC/Δt = 1/d ΔD/Δt
