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.

Consider the chemical equation in equilibrium. A(g) 2B(g) Double headed arrow. C(g) D(g) heat What will happen to the equilibriu
Mazyrski [523]

If the temperature is increased then reaction will shift to the left because heat is absorbed.

<h3>What is equilibrium state?</h3>

Equilibrium of any reaction is that state in which concentration of reactant and concentration of product will be constant.

Given chemical reaction is:

A(g) + 2B(g) ⇄ C(g) + D(g)

From the equilibrium state reaction will move only that side which will contribute to maintain the stable state. In the forward reaction heat is released as mention in the question. So, when the temperature of reaction is increased then it shifts towards the left side by absorbing the heat and maintain the stability.

Hence, option (2) is correct, i.e. It will shift to the left because heat is absorbed.

A. Convert the mass of the Salt weighed out to fg.
omeli [17]

Answer:

6.564×10¹⁶ fg.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of beaker = 76.9 g

Mass of beaker + salt = 142.54 g

Mass of salt in fg =?

Next, we shall determine the mass of the salt in grams (g). This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of beaker = 76.9 g

Mass of beaker + salt = 142.54 g

Mass of salt =?

Mass of salt = (Mass of beaker + salt) – (Mass of beaker)

Mass of salt = 142.54 – 76.9

Mass of salt = 65.64 g

Finally, we shall convert 65.64 g to femtograms (fg) as illustrated below:

Recall:

1 g = 1×10¹⁵ fg

Therefore,

65.64 g = 65.64 g × 1×10¹⁵ fg / 1g

65.64 g = 6.564×10¹⁶ fg

Therefore, the mass of the salt is 6.564×10¹⁶ fg.

What is the limiting reactant when 19.9 g CuO react with 2.02 g H2?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

use the equation

moles = mass/mr

=19.9/79.5

=0.250moles of CuO

then do the same for

H = 2.02/1

=2.02

so CuO is the limiting reagent because there is less amount of it.

Hope this helps  :)
