Which statement explains why large atoms are more reactive than small atoms?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Lunna [17]3 years ago
8 0

A. Large atoms have valence electrons farther from the nucleus and lose them more readily, so they are more reactive than small atoms.

For example, the valence electron of a small atom like Li is tightly held. <em>Lithium gently fizzes</em> on the surface as it reacts with the water to produce hydrogen.

In contrast, the valence electron of a large atom like Cs is so loosely held that <em>cesium exlodes </em>on contact with water.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!! *What are some of the safety concerns for Barium sulfate &amp; Barium Sulfide? Explain
Alex

BaSO₄ is relatively harmless, but BaS is highly toxic.

BaSO₄ is quite insoluble (240 µg/100 mL). It is a <em>mild irritant</em> in cases of skin contact and inhalation. However, it is <em>safe enough</em> that health professionals ask patients to drink a suspension of BaSO₄. The Ba is opaque to X-rays, so it makes the stomach and intestines more visible to radiographers.

BaS is soluble (7.7 g/100 mL). It reacts slowly with water and more rapidly in the acid conditions of the stomach to <em>release H₂S</em>.

BaS + 2HCl ⟶ BaCl₂ + H₂S

An H₂S concentration of 60 mg/100 mL can be <em>fatal within 30 min</em>.

A sample of gas has a volume of 2.36 L at a temperature of 53.00 °C. The gas sample is heated to a temperature of 139.00 °C (ass
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The volume increases because the temperature increases and is 2.98L

Explanation:

Charles's law states that the volume of a gas is directely proportional to its temperature. That means if a gas is heated, its volume will increase and vice versa. The equation is:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

<em>Where V is volume and T is absolute temperature of 1, initial state, and 2, final state of the gas.</em>

In the problem, the gas is heated, from 53.00°C (53.00 + 273.15 = 326.15K) to 139.00°C (139.00 + 273.15 = 412.15K).

Replacing in the Charles's law equation:

2.36L / 326.15K= V₂/412.15K

<h3>2.98L = V₂</h3>
