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.

How many moles of argon are in 13.9 g of argon?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

0.348 moles Ar

Explanation:

You can determine the moles of argon (Ar) by multiplying the given mass by the atomic mass of argon. This number gives the mass in grams per 1 mole. It is important to arrange the conversion in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 significant figures to match the sig figs of the given value (13.9 = 3 sig figs).

Atomic Mass (Ar): 39.948 g/mol

 13.9 g Ar              1 mole
-----------------  x  ------------------  =  0.348 moles Ar
                            39.948 g

Be sure to answer all parts. the equilibrium constant (kp) for the reaction below is 4.40 at 2000. k. h2(g) + co2(g) ⇌ h2o(g) +
svetoff [14.1K]
When we have the balanced reaction equation is:

H2(g)  + CO2(g) ↔ H2O(g)  + CO (g)

a) first, to calculate ΔG° for the reaction: 

we will use this formula:

ΔG° = -RT㏑Kp

when R is R- rydberg constant = 8.314J/mol.K

and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 2000 K

and Kp = 4.4 

so, by substitution:

ΔG° = - 8.314 *2000 *㏑4.4

        = - 24624 J/mol = - 24.6 KJ/mol

b) to calculate ΔG so, we will use this formula:

ΔG = ΔG° + RT㏑Qp

So we need first, to get Qp from the reaction equation:

when Qp = P products / P reactants

                 =  PH2O*PCO / PH2 * PCO2

                 = (0.66 atm * 1.2 atm) / (0.25 * 0.78)

                 = 4.1 

so by substitution:

ΔG = -24624 + 8.314*2000*㏑4.1

      = -1162 J/mol = - 1.16 KJ/mol
