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.

Explain the role light plays on the rate<br> of photosynthesis.
Luda [366]

Answer:

The process of photosynthesis occurs when green plants use the energy of light to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) into carbohydrates. Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll, a photosynthetic pigment of the plant, while air containing carbon dioxide and oxygen enters the plant through the leaf stomata.

How does the number of coupons you use affect the amount of money you save?
slega [8]
Using coupons seems like an old-fashioned, time-consuming way to save a few cents on the products you buy at the grocery store. After all, most coupons don't usually have a face value of more than $1 and, quite often, they're worth far less. But done properly, couponing can save you thousands of dollars every year.

What is the ph of a 0.0055 m ha (weak acid) solution that is 8.2% ionized?
Trava [24]
Answer is: pH value of weak is 3.35.
Chemical reaction (dissociation): HA(aq) → H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq).
c(HA) = 0.0055 M.
α = 8.2% ÷ 100% = 0.082.
[H⁺] = c(HA) · α.
[H⁺] = 0.0055 M · 0.082.
[H⁺] = 0.000451 M.
pH = -log[H⁺].
pH = -log(0.000451 M).
pH = 3.35.
pH (potential of hydrogen) is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity <span>an aqueous solution.</span>
