How reactive is an atom of Sodium(Na) and why?

1 answer:

5 0

3rd one:
it is very reactive because it does not have a full Valence shell.

this is because it's in group 1 so it has one electron in its outer shell, and it wants to have a full outer shell ( which it can gain by losing the electron in a reaction).

Hope this helps :)

The mole ratio of the reaction shows that equal volumes of hydrogen gas will be produced by the two reactions.

<h3>What is the mole ratio of a reaction?</h3>

The mole ratio of a reaction is the ratio in which the reactants and products of a given reaction occur for the reaction to proceed to completion.

The mole ratio of a reaction is also known as the stoichiometry of the reaction.

The equation of the two reactions are given below:

$Mg + 2HCl \rightarrow MgCl_2 + H_2$

$Mg + 2CH_3COOH \rightarrow (CH_3COO)_2Mg + H_2 \\$

From the equation of the reaction reaction, an equal volume of hydrogen gas will be produced by the two reactions.

Therefore, the mole ratio of the reaction shows that equal volumes of hydrogen gas will be produced by the two reactions.

What do agents such as chemicals, elevated temperatures, ionizing radiation, and viruses have in common?

Leni [432]

Answer:

All of them affect the DNA

Explanation:

Chemicals are compounds that can pass through cell membranes and modificate the DNA, elevated temperatures can denaturalize the cell and therefore damage the DNA, ionizing radiation can pass through cell organelles and reach the nucleus affecting the DNA, and viruses inject its DNA into the genome and modify it.

Convert 3 moles of h2o into grams

lilavasa [31]

To convert 3 mol H2O to grams, just multiply by the molar mass of H2O.

<span>3 mol H2O * 18 g H2O / 1 mol H2O = 54 g H2O
