An atoms reactivity can be determined by how many valence electrons the atom contains.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

The tendency of elements to react with each other depends on their electronegativity. An element having higher electronegative value will react easily with other elements. So, an electronegative elements tends to have highest reactivity.

Some of the elements in the periodic table does not react with any other elements, they are the noble elements as their electronegativity values are zero. All are elements present in a single group exhibit common electronegative.

And, the measure of electronegativity is done by the number of electrons in the valence shell or in other terms the number of valence electrons. Thus, the valence electrons count decide the reactivity of an atom.

Answer:

The equation that gives the overall equilibrium in terms of the equilibrium constants K and Ky is K1 = K^6 * Ky

Explanation:

we have the following balanced reaction:

CaC2 + 2H2O = C2H2 + Ca(OH)2

the value of K for this reaction will be equal to:

K = ([C2H2] * [Ca(OH)2])/([CaC2] * [H2O]^2)

if we multiply the reaction by the value of 6, we have:

6CaC2 + 12H2O = 6C2H2 + 6Ca(OH)2

Again, the value of K for this reaction will be equal to:

K,´ = ([C2H2] ^6 * [Ca(OH)2]^6)/([CaC2]^6 * [H2O]^12) = K^6

For the second reaction:

6C2H2 + 3CO2 + 4H2O = 5CH2CHCO2H

The value of K for this reaction:

K2 = ([CH2CHCO2H]^5)/([C2H2]^6 * [CO2]^3 * [H2O]^4)

we also have:

K1 = ([CH2CHCO2H]^5)/([C2H2]^6 * [CO2]^3 * [H2O]^16)

Thus:

K1 = K^6 * Ky

Given:
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The combustion of 59.7 grams of methane releases 3320.81 kilojoules of energy

Explanation:

Given;

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O, ΔH = -890 kJ/mol

From the combustion reaction above, it can be observed that;

1 mole of methane (CH₄) released 890 kilojoules of energy.

Now, we convert 59.7 grams of methane to moles

CH₄ = 12 + (1x4) = 16 g/mol

59.7 g of CH₄ = \frac{59.7}{16} = 3.73125 \ moles

1 mole of methane (CH₄) released 890 kilojoules of energy

3.73125 moles of methane (CH₄) will release ?

= 3.73125 moles x  -890 kJ/mol

= -3320.81 kJ

Therefore, the combustion of 59.7 grams of methane releases 3320.81 kilojoules of energy
