<h2>Answer:</h2>

The last statement is true. which is:

Mg is less reactive than Na because Mg has to lose one more electron than Na to complete its outermost shell.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Mg belongs to group II and Na belongs to group I.

Group II elements are less reactive than Group I elements. This is because it is more difficult to lose two electrons compared to losing just one electron.

If 72.5 grams of calcium metal (Ca) react with 65.0 grams of oxygen gas (O2) in a synthesis reaction, how many grams of the exce

Natali5045456 [20]

2Ca + O2 = 2CaO
First, determine which is the excess reactant
72.5 g Ca (1 mol) =1.8089725036
(40.078 g)

65 g O2 (1 mol) =2.0313769611
(15.999g × 2)
Since the ratio of to O2 is 2:1 in the balanced reaction, divide Ca's molar mass by 2 to get 0.9044862518. this isn't necessary because Ca is already obviously the limiting reactant. therefore, O2 is the excess reactant.

Now do the stoichiometry
72.5 g Ca (1 mol Ca) (1 mol O2)
(40.078 g Ca)(2 mol Ca)(31.998g O2)

=0.0282669621 g of O2 left over

The pKapKa of cyclopentane is > 60, which is about what is expected for a hydrogen that is bonded to an sp3sp3 carbon. Explai

aivan3 [116]

Answer and explanation:

cyclopentadiene is more acidic than cyclopentane

hydrocarbon compound are weak acid in nature

This relative acidity is explained by the stability of

cyclopentadienyl anion which is aromatic in nature

(check the attached image file 1)

To answer this question we must look at the stability of the anions that are formed when the compound lose proton.

All the electron in the cyclopentyl anion are localized.

In contrast, the aromatic cyclopentadienyl anion is a stable carbanion as a result of its aromaticity therefore making its conjugate acid a very strong acid compare to other compounds with hydrogen attached to sp³ carbons

A cylinder of argon contains 50 L of Ar at 12.4 atm and 127°C . How many moles of argon are in the cylinder

joja [24]

Answer:

18.9 moles

Explanation:

We have the following data:

V = 50 L

P = 12.4 atm

T= 127°C + 273 = 400 K

R = 0.082 L.atm/K.mol (it is the gas constant)

We use the ideal gas equation to calculate the number of moles n of the gas:

PV = nRT

⇒ n = PV/RT = (12.4 atm x 50 L)/(0.082 L.atm/K.mol x 400 K) = 18.9 mol

A 20.0g sample of metal with a specific heat of 5 J/(g°C) raised it's initial temperature to 40.0 when 500J heat was added. What

slavikrds [6]

The initial temperature of the metal = 35 °C

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Heat can be formulated :

Q = m . c . ΔT

Q = heat, J

c = specific heat, J/g C

ΔT = temperature, °C

m = 20 g

c = 5 J/(g°C)

Q = 500 J

T₁ = 40 C

the initial temperature :

$\tt \Delta t(T_2-T_1)=\dfrac{Q}{m.c}\\\\40-T_1=\dfrac{500}{20.5}\\\\40-T_1=5\\\\T_1=35^oC$
