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.

ahrayia [7]
<span>Answer: 100 ml
</span>

<span>Explanation:


1) Convert 1.38 g of Fe₂S₃ into number of moles, n


</span>i) Formula: n = mass in grass / molar mass
<span>
ii) molar mass of </span><span>Fe₂S₃ =2 x 55.8 g/mol + 3 x 32.1 g/mol = 207.9 g/mol
</span>

iii) n = 1.38 g / 207.9 g/mol = 0.00664 moles of <span>Fe₂S₃
</span>

<span>2) Use the percent yield to calculate the theoretical amount:
</span>

<span>65% = 0.65 = actual yield/ theoretical yield =>


</span>theoretical yield = actual yield / 0.65 = 0.00664 moles / 0.65 = 0.010 mol <span>Fe₂S₃</span><span>

3) Chemical equation:
</span>

<span> 3 Na₂S(aq) + 2 FeCl₃(aq) → Fe₂S₃(s) + 6 NaCl(aq)


4) Stoichiometrical mole ratios:
</span>

<span>3 mol Na₂S : 2 mol FeCl₃ : 1 mol Fe₂S₃ : 6 mol NaCl


5) Proportionality:


</span>2moles FeCl₃ / 1 mol Fe₂S₃ = x / 0.010 mol Fe₂S₃
<span>
=> x = 0.020 mol FeCl₃


6) convert 0.020 mol to volume
</span>

<span>i) Molarity formula: M = n / V
</span>

<span>ii) V = n / M = 0.020 mol / 0.2 M = 0.1 liter = 100 ml
</span>

Method A: Does not transfer heat through solids and requires a medium for heat transfer Method B: Requires a material medium and
Paha777 [63]

Method A is Convection

Method B is Conduction

Explanation:

From the problem, we can infer that method A is convection and method B is conduction.

Conduction, convection and radiation are the three main methods of heat transfer.

  • Conduction and convection requires material medium to propagate.
  • Radiation occurs in the absence of a material medium.
  • Conduction mostly occurs in solid. Here, heat is transferred from one hot end to the cold end of the solid. The vibration of the particles in the hot end causes the transfer of kinetic energy to the cold end until thermal equilibrium is reached.
  • In convection, heat is primarily transferred in fluids as a result of density differences. Convection involves the motion of the materials of the medium. Hot air is light and it rises whereas cold air is dense and it sinks.
