<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Chemical reactivity is defined as the tendency of an atom to loose or gain electrons.

Metals are the elements that looses electrons and thus, their chemical reactivity will be the tendency to loose electrons.

Their chemical reactivity decreases as we move from left to right in a period. This is so because, the electron get added up in the same shell. So, the electron in the outermost orbital gets more tightly bonded to nucleus. And hence, loosing an electron will require high energy. Thus, the chemical reactivity decreases.

  • Alkali metals are the elements which belong to group 1 of the periodic table. The general electronic configuration of these metals is ns^1

These metals will loose 1 electron to form +1 ions.

  • Alkaline earth metals are the elements which belong to group 2 of the periodic table. The general electronic configuration of these metals is ns^2

These metals will loose 2 electrons to form +2 ions.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.

If i have 340mL of a 1.5 M NaBr solution, What will the concentration be for 1000mL?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

0.51M

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial volume of NaBr = 340mL

Initial molarity  = 1.5M

Final volume  = 1000mL

Unknown:

Final molarity = ?

Solution;

This is a dilution problem whereas the concentration of a compound changes from one to another.

In this kind of problem, we must establish that the number of moles still remains the same.

    number of moles initially before diluting = number of moles after dilution

Number of moles  = Molarity x volume

Let us find the number of moles;

          Number of moles  = initial volume x initial molarity

Convert mL to dm³;

                  1000mL  = 1dm³

                     340mL gives \frac{340}{1000}   = 0.34dm³

Number of moles  = initial volume x initial molarity  = 0.34 x 1.5 = 0.51moles

Now to find the new molarity/concentration;

               Final molarity  = \frac{number of moles}{Volume}    = \frac{0.51}{1}    = 0.51M

We can see a massive drop in molarity this is due to dilution of the initial concentration.
