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.

Organisms that reproduce sexually have offspring with greater variety because: B. The offspring get DNA from two parents, and it combines randomly.

Reproduction refers to a biological process through which living organisms (parents) mate to produce offspring.

Basically, there are two (2) main types of reproduction and these include;

Asexual reproduction.

Sexual reproduction.

During sexual reproduction, parent organisms produce offspring with greater variety because the genetic material of their parents are randomly combined to produce genetically-diverse offspring.

If a buffer solution is 0.130 M in a weak acid (K_a = 1.7 x 10^-5) and 0.590 M in its conjugate base, what is the pH?

Serggg [28]

Use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation:
pH = pKa + log[base]/[acid]
pH = -log(1.7 x 10^-5) + log(0.590/0.130) = 5.43

hammer [34]

The number of moles is simply calculated by taking the ratio of mass over the molar mass. The molar mass of silver nitrate AgNO3 is 169.87 g/mol. Therefore:

number of moles AgNO3 = 100 g / (169.87 g/mol)

number of moles AgNO3 = 0.59 moles
