Why do reactivity increases on moving from top to bottom in group 2 of modern periodic table?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nikolay [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

that's because....

group 1 (e.g Na, K) those tend to lose one electron to gain noble gas electron configuration.

they can achieve that by just losing one electron from their outer shell.

as you go down the group 1, element gets bigger in size, which means there is more space between nucleus (which is in center of atom) and electron of outer shell. the more far away they are the less attraction force between them.

so its easier for potassuim to lose one electron than for lithuim.

so that means potassium will easily give up 1 electron to react with non metal or other element therefore it is more reactive than lithuim

but in case of non metal, the opposite happens but simple to understand.

as you go down the group 7 (halogen- Cl, Br, I) element will get bigger therefore force between nucleus and outer electron is getting smaller. they have to gain 1 electron in order to fill the outer shell (to gain noble gas electron configuration.)

as florine is more smaller in size than clorine it is more reactive because florine has more tendency to pull extra electron from metal or other element towards its side. so it easily gain 1 electron to react.

How many moles of hydrogen are in the sample?<br> Round your answer to 4 significant digits.
finlep [7]

Answer:

1.56 mol H₂

Explanation:

Mg₃(Si₂O₅)₂(OH)₂

<em>There are 4 Si moles per Mg₃(Si₂O₅)₂(OH)₂ mol</em>. With that in mind we can <u>calculate how many Mg₃(Si₂O₅)₂(OH)₂ moles are there in the sample</u>, using the <em>given number of silicon moles</em>:

  • 3.120 mol Si * \frac{1molMg_3(Si_2O_5)_2(OH)_2}{4molSi} = 0.78 mol Mg₃(Si₂O₅)₂(OH)₂

Then we can <u>convert Mg₃(Si₂O₅)₂(OH)₂ moles into hydrogen moles</u>, keeping in mind that <em>there are 2 hydrogen moles per Mg₃(Si₂O₅)₂(OH)₂ mol</em>:

  • 0.78 mol Mg₃(Si₂O₅)₂(OH)₂ * 2 = 1.56 mol H₂

What is the difference between atomic mass, relative atomic mass and average atomic mass
vesna_86 [32]

\bold{\huge{\underline{\purple{ Answer }}}}

<u>Difference </u><u>between </u><u>Atomic </u><u>mass</u><u>, </u><u>relative </u><u>atomic </u><u>mass </u><u>and </u><u>average </u><u>atomic </u><u>mass</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

<h3><u>Atomic </u><u>Mass </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

  • Atomic mass is the mass of neutrons and protons present in the nucleus of an atom .
  • It is always calculated for a single element and having direct value
  • For isotopes also, the atomic mass is calculated separately . Example :- <u>Carbon </u><u>1</u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>carbon </u><u>1</u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>and </u><u>carbon </u><u>1</u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>have </u><u>different </u><u>atomic </u><u>mass</u><u>. </u>
  • The SI unit of Atomic mass is " u" and "amu"

<h3><u>Relative </u><u>Atomic </u><u>mass </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

  • Relative atomic mass is mean mass of the atoms of an element which is compared to the 1/12th mass of carbon - 12 .
  • Carbon - 12 is taken as a relative when we calculate the relative atomic mass of any element
  • For calculating relative atomic mass, we need to know the masses, percentage and abundance of all types of elements
  • Relative atomic mass is a dimension less quantity

<h3><u>Average </u><u>Atomic </u><u>Mass </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

  • Average atomic mass is the average mass of an atoms of a particular element by considering it's isotopes
  • While we calculate average atomic mass is a standardized number. Whereas, Average atomic mass sometimes varies geologically .
  • It also includes percentage, abundance and masses of given element .
  • In average atomic mass, We do not compare mean value with the 1/12 mass of carbon - 12
  • The unit of Average atomic mass is "Amu" or " u " .

The reaction of perchloric acid (HClO4) with lithium hydroxide (LiOH) is described by the equation: HClO4 + LiOH → LiClO4 + H2O
dem82 [27]

Answer:

A. 0.35 M

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the volume and concentration of lithium hydroxide and the volume of chloric acid, we can compute the concentration of the neutralized acid by using the following equation:

n_{acid}=n_{base}\\\\V_{acid}M_{acid}=V_{base}M_{base}\\\\M_{acid}=\frac{V_{base}M_{base}}{V_{acid}} =\frac{46.9mL*0.75M}{100mL}\\ \\M_{acid}=0.35M

Therefore, answer is A. 0.35 M.

Regards.
