Mostly the electrons will determine the reactivity
Try this solution, all the details are described in the attached picture.
Answer:
a)
is the mass of 1 mole of bricks.
b)
moles of bricks have a mass equal to the mass of the Earth.
Explanation:
a) Mass of brick = 4.0 kg
1 mole =
particles/ atoms/molecules
Mass of
bricks :

is the mass of 1 mole of bricks.
b)
Mass of the Earth = M = 
Mass of 1 mole of brick = m=
Let the moles of brick with equal mass of the Earth be x.


moles of bricks have a mass equal to the mass of the Earth.
<u>Answer:</u> The chemical equations are written below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
<u>For a:</u> Methane reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water.
Combustion reaction is defined as the reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water
The chemical equation for the combustion of methane follows:

- <u>For b:</u> Butane reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water.
This is also an example of combustion reaction.
The chemical equation for the combustion of butane follows:

- <u>For c:</u> An aqueous solution of sulfuric acid reacts with aqueous potassium hydroxide to produce potassium sulfate and water.
When an acid reacts with a base, it leads to the formation of salt and water. This reaction is known as neutralization reaction
The chemical equation for the reaction of potassium hydroxide and sulfuric acid follows:

Hence, the chemical equations are written above.
