Chlorine is highly reactive than Silicon.

<u>Answer:</u> Chlorine will be more reactive.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Chemical reactivity is defined as the tendency of an element to loose of gain electrons.

Non-metals are the elements which gains electrons and hence, their chemical reactivity will be the tendency to loose electrons.

Their chemical reactivity increases as we move from left to right in a period because the valence shell come closer to nucleus as we move from left to right.

So, addition of new electron in the valence shell becomes easier due to greater attraction between nucleus and valence electron.

We are given:

Silicon is present in Group 14 and chlorine is present in group 17.

Hence, chlorine will be more reactive.

Consider the chemical equation. CuCl2 + 2NaNO3 Cu(NO3)2 + 2NaCl What is the percent yield of NaCl if 31.0 g of CuCl2 reacts with
Finger [1]

Answer:

The percent yield of NaCl is 78.7 %

Explanation:

CuCl₂  +  2NaNO₃ →  Cu(NO₃)₂  + 2NaCl

If the NaNO₃ is determined to be in excess, the limiting reagent is the chloride. We convert the mass to moles:

31 g . 1mol / 134.45g = 0.230 moles

Ratio is 1:2, so we can make a rule of three to determine the theoretical yield

1 mol of copper (II) chloride reacts to produce 2 moles of sodium chloride

Then, 0.230 moles of CuCl₂ will react to produce (0.230 .2) /1 ) = 0.461 moles of NaCl → we convert the moles to mass → 0.461 mol . 58.45 g / 1mol = 26.9 g

To find percent yield we do → (Yield produced / Theoretical yield) . 100

(21.2 g / 26.9 g) . 100 = 78.7 %

Calculate the wavelength of a photon of light with a frequency of 6.17 x 1014 Hz.
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

4.86 × 10^-7m

Explanation:

Wavelength = C/f

C (Speed) of light = 3 × 10^8

f = 6.17 × 10^14

Wavelength = (3 × 10^8)/ (6.17 × 10^14)

= 4.86 × 10^-7m

Assume that the complete combustion of one mole of glucose, a monosaccharide, to carbon dioxide and water liberates 2870 kJ2870
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

number of moles of the compound \approx 53 mole

Explanation:

Given that:

The total energy liberated = - 2870 kJ  ( here , the negative sign typical implies the release of energy due to the combustion reaction)

The equation of the reaction can be represented as:

\mathbf{C_6H_{12}O_6_{(s)} + 6O_{2(g)} \to 6CO_{2(g)}+6H_2O_{(l)}}

The energy needed to synthesize 1 mole of compound X  = - 54.1 kJ.mol

Thus;

The total energy = numbers of moles of compound × Energy needed to synthesize  1 mole of compound X

Making the numbers of moles of the compound the subject; we have;

numbers of moles of compound = numbers  \ of \  moles  \ of \  compound =  \dfrac{total \ energy }{Energy \  needed  \ to  \ synthesize \   1  \ mole \  of \  compound  \ X}numbers  \ of \  moles  \ of \  compound =  \dfrac{-2870  \ kJ }{-54.1  \ kJ/mol}

number of moles of the compound = 53.04990  mole

number of moles of the compound \approx 53 mole to two significant figure
