Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The reactivity of metals has a lot to do with their position in the electrochemical series. However, it is also known that metallic character decreases across the period. This implies that as we move from left to right along the periodic table. Sodium, magnesium, aluminum and silicon continues to decrease in metallic character. As a matter of fact, silicon is a metalloid and not a pure metal.
Sodium reacts with cold water to give a vigorous reaction,magnesium and aluminium reacts with steam at red heat.
Silicon does not react with water, even as steam, under normal conditions.

Answer:

Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, the enthalpy of combustion is understood as the energy released when one mole of fuel, in this case octene, is burned in the presence of oxygen and is computed with the enthalpies of formation of the fuel, carbon dioxide and water as shown below (oxygen is circumvented as it is a pure element):

Thus, since we already know the enthalpy of combustion of the fuel, for carbon and water we have -393.5 and -241.8 kJ/mol respectively, thereby, the enthalpy of combustion turns out:

Best regards.
A. Adding a catalyst. A catalyst by definition is a compound that speeds up reaction rates.
I would say D. Hope I helped, sorry if I didn't. :)
