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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ede4ka [16]3 years ago

<>"A. Large atoms have valence electrons farther from the nucleus and lose them more readily, so they are more reactive than small atoms. In contrast, the valence electron of a large atom like Cs is so loosely held that cesium explodes on contact with water."<>

Calcium nitrate tetrahydrate dissolves in cold water to the extent of 266 g per 100 cm3. What is the concentration of nitrate io
Soloha48 [4]

Answer : The correct option is, (b) 22.5 M

Explanation : Given,

Mass of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate = 266 g

Molar mass of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate  = 236.15 g/mole

Volume of solution = 100cm^3=100mL

Molarity : It is defined as the moles of solute present in one liter of solution.

Formula used :

Molarity=\frac{\text{Mass of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate }\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate }\times \text{volume of solution in ml}}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

Molarity=\frac{266g\times 1000}{236.15g/mole\times 100ml}=11.26mole/L=11.26M

As calcium nitrate tetrahydrate dissociate to give 1 mole of calcium ion, 2 moles of nitrate ion and 4 moles of water.

The concentration of nitrate ion = 2\times 11.26M=22.5M

Thus, the concentration of nitrate ion is, 22.5 M

If the initial concentration of a is 0.00540 m, what will be the concentration after 795 s?
zavuch27 [327]
<span>Feb 19, 2014 - The units of k tell you that this is a second order reaction. So, to solve this, you need to use the integrated rate law for a 2nd order reaction: 1/[A] = kt + 1/[A]o 1/[A] = 0.540/Ms (835 s) + 1/0.00640 1/[A] = 607 [A] = 1.65X10^-3 M.</span><span>

Suppose that, from measurements in a microscope, you determine that a certain layer of graphene covers an area of 2.60μm2. conve
garri49 [273]
Given that 1 micrometer or micron (um) is equivalent by definition to 1 x 10^-6 m, this means that 1 square micron (um^2) is equivalent to (1 x 10^-6)^2 m^2, or 1 x 10^-12 m^2.

(2.60 um^2) * (1 x 10^-12 m^2 / 1 um^2) = 2.60 x 10^-12 m^2
Therefore the layer of graphene covers an area of 2.60 x 10^-12 m^2.
