Answer:
C. chromium is a metal that is less reactive than sodium.
Explanation:
Hello.
Given the options:
A. chromium is a nonmetal and therefore a good conductor of heat and electricity
.
B. chromium is a metal that is more reactive than potassium
.
C. chromium is a metal that is less reactive than sodium
.
D. chromium is a noble gas that is not reactive.
In this case, since chromium is in period 4 group VIB we infer it is a transition metal which slightly reacts with acids and poorly reacts with oxygen and other oxidizing substances. Thus, in comparison with both sodium and potassium which are highly reactive even with water as they get on fire, we can say that it is less reactive than both potassium and sodium, therefore, answer is: C. chromium is a metal that is less reactive than sodium.
Best regards.
In gases the only thing that isn't related is acidity.
The correct answer is C. The water is the solvent because the green pellets dissolved in it.
Explanation:
In solutions, the are two substances involved, the solvent and the solute. The solvent is usually a liquid substance; additionally, the solvent dissolves another substance, which is known as the solute. For example, if you dissolve a spoon of salt in a glass of water, the solute is the salt which is the substance dissolved and the solvent is the water because the solute is dissolved in it. According to this, in the case presented the water is the solvent because the green pellets which are the solute dissolve in it.
Answer:
1. H+ + OH- <--------> H2O
H+ is a Lewis acid
OH- is a Lewis base
2. Cl- + BCl3 <---------> BCl4-
Cl- is a Lewis base
BCl3 is a Lewis acid
3. K+ + 6H2O <------> K(H2O)6+
K+ is a Lewis acid
H2O is a Lewis base
Explanation:
By definition, Lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor while a Lewis base is an electron pair donor.
Potassium ion accept electron pairs from 6 water molecules which donate the electron pairs.
