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.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

16\ \text{ppm}

Explanation:

Mass of one tablet = 20 mg

Mass of two tablets = 2\times 20=40\ \text{mg}

Percent that is soluble in water = 40%

Mass of tablet that is soluble in water = 0.4\times 40=16\ \text{mg}

So, mass of solute is 16\ \text{mg}

Density of water = 1 kg/L

Volume of water = 1 L

So, mass of 1 L of water is 1\times 1=1\ \text{kg}=1000\ \text{g}

PPM is given by

\dfrac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solvent}}\times 10^6=\dfrac{16\times 10^{-3}}{1000}\times 10^6\\ =16\ \text{ppm}

Hence, the concentration of iodine in the treated water 16\ \text{ppm}.

Co2 will dissolve in water if water is saturated with Co2 first then it will absorb some of CO2 it appear as less is absorb that was actually the case . this would make it appear as present of CACO3 is in original sample is lower than it will be too low

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

D. Acidic salt

Explanation:

Acidic salts:

Salts formed by incomplete neutralisation of poly-basic acids are called acidic salts. Such salts still contain one or more replaceable hydrogen atoms. These salts when neutralised by bases form normal salts.
