Answer: D. Mg

Explanation:

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

Metals are the elements which lose electrons and hence, their chemical reactivity will be the tendency to lose electrons.

Their chemical reactivity increases as we move top to bottom in a group because the valence shell come gets far away from the nucleus. Thus, the loss of electron from the valence shell becomes easier due to lesser attraction between nucleus and valence electron.

Their chemical reactivity decreases as we move from left to right in a period .As, the electrons get added up in the same shell, the electron in the outermost orbital gets near to the nucleus. And hence, the electron will be difficult to lose.Thus, the chemical reactivity of metals decreases.

For the given options:

Potassium(K) belongs to Group 1 and period 4 of the periodic table.

Calcium (Ca) belongs to Group 2 and period 4 of the periodic table.

Sodium (Na)belongs to Group 1 and Period 3 of the periodic table.

Magnesium (Mg) belongs to Group 2 and Period 3 of the periodic table.

Order of reactivity of metals follow:

K>Ca>Na>Mg

Thus the LEAST reactive metal is Magnesium.

In a single displacement reaction between Sodium Phosphate and Barium, how much of each product (in grams) will be formed from 1
mixer [17]

Answer:

14.6 g of barium phosphate

3.35 g of sodium metal

Explanation:

2Na3PO4(aq) + 3Ba(s) -------> Ba3(PO4)2(aq) + 6Na(s)

The first step in any such reaction is to but down the balanced reaction equation according to the stoichiometry of the reaction.

The two products formed are barium phosphate and sodium metal.

Number of moles of barium corresponding to 10.0g of barium = mass of barium/ molar mass of barium

Molar mass of barium = 137.327 g

Number of moles of barium = 10/137.327

Number of moles of barium = 0.0728 moles

For barium phosphate;

3 moles of barium yields 1 mole of barium phosphate

0.0728 moles yields 0.0728 moles × 1/3 = 0.0243 moles of barium phosphate

Molar mass of barium phosphate = 601.93 g/mol

Therefore mass of barium phosphate = 0.0243 moles × 601.93 g/mol = 14.6 g of barium phosphate

For sodium metal

3 moles of barium yields 6 moles of sodium metal

0.0728 moles of barium yields 0.0728 × 6 / 3 = 0.1456 moles of sodium

Molar mass of sodium metal= 23 gmol-1

Mass of sodium metal= 0.1456g × 23 gmol-1 = 3.35 g of sodium metal

What does density have to do with the cycling of matter in earths interior
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The rocks of higher density inter the mantle. Due to density they sink and melt. When they melt the density decreases and rises to the top. They then are recycled through volcanoes.

05. When a gold pebble is placed in a graduated cylinder that contains 12.0 mL of water, the water level rises
OLga [1]

Answer:

142.82 g

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Volume of water = 12 mL

Volume of water + gold = 19.4 mL

Density of gol= 19.3 g/cm³

Mass of gold =.?

Next, we shall determine the volume of the gold. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume of water = 12 mL

Volume of water + gold = 19.4 mL

Volume of gold =.?

Volume of gold = (Volume of water + gold) – (Volume of water)

Volume of gold = 19.4 – 12

Volume of gold = 7.4 mL

Finally, we shall determine the mass of the gold as follow:

Note: 1 mL is equivalent to 1 cm³

Volume of gold = 7.4 mL

Density of gol= 19.3 g/cm³ = 19.3 g/mL

Mass of gold =?

Density = mass /volume

19.3 = mass of gold /7.4

Cross multiply

Mass of gold = 19.3 × 7.4

Mass of gold = 142.82 g

Therefore, the mass of the gold pebble is 142.82 g
