<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.

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Calcium is then pumped back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum breaking the link between actin and myosin.

Explanation:

Actin and myosin return to their unbound state causing the muscle to relax. Alternatively relaxation (failure) will also occur when ATP is no longer available.

PLEASE HELP, I ONLY NEED THE RIGHT ANSWER IN LITERS
grandymaker [24]
You can form 9.20 L of NH₃ gas at 93.0 °C and 37.3 kPa or 2.56 L at STP. The balanced chemical equation is N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃ Since all substances are gases, we can use litres instead of moles in our calculations. You don't specify the pressure and temperature of the NH₃, so I will calculate its volume in two ways.
