Element atomic number position
Ba 56 group 2, period 6
Ca 12 group 2, period 3
S 16 group 16, period 3
Si `14 group 14, period 3
Now, you need to know the properties of the different type of elements and the tendencies on the periodic table.
The metallic elements are, those placed on the left side of the periodic table, are the ones that release an electron more easily, so they will requiere less energy to give it up when forming chemical bonds.
The higher the metallic character the less the energy need to give up an electron.
The metallic character grows as the group number decreases (goes to the left) period increases (goes downward), so among the elements considered, Barium will require the least amount of energy to give un an electron when forming chemical bonds.
Answer:
1.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, for the given reaction we first assign the oxidation state for each species:

Whereas the half reactions are:

Next, we exchange the transferred electrons:

Afterwards, we add them to obtain:

By adding and subtracting common terms we obtain:

Finally, by removing the oxidation states we have:

Therefore, the smallest whole-number coefficient for Sn is 1.

Answer:
An element
Explanation:
Elements are not able to be separated, but everything else can, whether that be physically or chemically.
Answer:
a. 123.9°C
b.
c.
Explanation:
Hello, I'm attaching a picture with the numerical development of this exercise.
a. Since the steam is overheated vapour, the specific volume is gotten from the corresponding table. Then, as it became a saturated vapour, we look for the interval in which the same volume of state 1 is, then we interpolate and get the temperature.
b. Now, at 80°C, since it is about a rigid tank (constant volume for every thermodynamic process), the specific volume of the mixture is 0.79645 m^3/kg as well, so the specific volume for the liquid and the vapour are taken into account to get the quality of 0.234.
c. Now,since this is an isocoric process, the heat transfer per kg of steam is computed as the difference in the internal energy, considering the initial condition (showed in a. part) and the final one computed here.
** The thermodynamic data were obtained from Cengel's thermodynamics book 7th edition.
Best regards.
