Answer:

The characteristic of silicon that is most closely related to its chemical reactivity is that;

It is found in nature in mainly as oxides and silicates

Explanation:

Silicon, which is a member of group 14 of the periodic table has the electron configuration of [Ne]3s²3p² and has a high affinity for oxygen such that the the oxides are known as silicates and it is almost impossible to find pure silicon in nature and it is found in the universe as silica and silicates

Silicate minerals make up over 90% of the Earth's crust such that, by mass silicon is only surpassed by oxygen as the most abundant element found in the Earth's crust.

A sample of air is slowly passed through aqueous Sodium hydroxide and then over heater copper. Which gases are removed by this p
bagirrra123 [75]

Carbon dioxide and oxygen are removed from the air.

Explanation:

When air is passed through aqueous sodium hydroxide solution the carbon dioxide is removed from the air.

First the carbon dioxide will dissolve and react with water to form carbonic acid ( H₂CO₃) :

CO₂ + H₂O → H₂CO₃

The the carbonic acid will react with sodium hydroxide to form sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃):

H₂CO₃ + 2 NaOH → Na₂CO₃ + 2 H₂O

After this by passing the air over heated cooper the oxygen is removed.

2 Cu + O₂ → 2 CuO
