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.

Consider the following equilibrium:H2CO3(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + HCO3-1(aq).What is the correct equilibrium expression?
Vanyuwa [196]

The equilibrium expression shows the ratio between products and reactants. This expression is equal to the concentration of the products raised to its coefficient divided by the concentration of the reactants raised to its coefficient. The correct equilibrium expression for the given reaction is:<span>

<span>H2CO3(aq) + H2O(l) = H3O+(aq) + HCO3-1(aq)

Kc = [HCO3-1] [H3O+] / [H2O] [H2CO3]</span></span>

Which cell living organism are diploid
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Question

<em>which cell living organism are diploid?</em>

Answer:

<em>Ploidy is the area of biology that refers to the number of chromosomes in a cell. Therefore, cells with two sets are diploid, and those with one set are haploid. In diploid organisms, such as humans, the haploid cells are used only for the sex cells for reproduction, while the rest of the cells are diploid.</em>

Hope this helps!

8. How many atoms of cobalt are in a 0.39 mole sample of Co(C,H,O2), ?
Slav-nsk [51]

Explanation:

The mole is simply a very large number,  

6.022

, that has a special property. If I have

hydrogen atoms, I have a mass of 1 gram of hydrogen atoms . If I have

molecules, I have a mass of 2 gram of hydrogen molecules. If I have

C

atoms, I have (approximately!) 12 grams.

The mole is thus the link between the micro world of atoms and molecules, and the macro world of grams and litres, the which we can easily measure by mass or volume. The masses for a mole of each element are given on the periodic table as the atomic weight. So, if have 12 g of
