The reactivity depends on the elements valence electrons. The need to be stable will make an element become more reactive, In order for an atom to be stable, it needs 8 valence electrons in its outer shell.

Since Calcium is in group 2, it has 2 valence electrons, and would rather give up the electrons. While Sulfur has 6, it would need to gain 2 more to be stable, making it more reactive.

An atoms valence is the amount of electrons in the outer ring and atoms like to have a valence of 8 so the closer to having 8 in the outer ring the more reactive the atom is so since both elements are 2 away from a valence of 8 theyre equally reactive

1. What is a source of new alleles in natural populations?

scoray [572]

Explanation:

Generally, mating outside of a given population can give different alleles. Mutations and the crossing over of chromatids can add difference to the genetic pool.

B. Calculate how many atoms of hydrogen are in 1. 75 moles of glucose (c6h12o6).

ycow [4]

Answer:

1.26x10^25 atoms of hydrogen

Explanation:

because there are 12 atoms of hydrogen in a molecule of glucose, multiply 12 by Avogadro's number (6.02x10^23) to get how many molecules of hydrogen there are in a mole of glucose. Then multiply that number by 1.75, which is the number of moles of glucose there is in this problem.

Using the standard enthalpies of formation found in the textbook, determine the enthalpy change for the combustion of ethanol c2

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Enthalpy of formation is calculated by subtracting the total enthalpy of formation of the reactants from those of the products. This is called the HESS' LAW.
ΔHrxn = ΔH(products) - ΔH(reactants)

Since the enthalpies are not listed in this item, from reliable sources, the obtained enthalpies of formation are written below.
ΔH(C2H5OH) = -276 kJ/mol
ΔH(O2) = 0 (because O2 is a pure substance)
ΔH(CO2) = -393.5 kJ/mol
ΔH(H2O) = -285.5 kJ/mol

Using the equation above,
ΔHrxn = (2)(-393.5 kJ/mol) + (3)(-285.5 kJ/mol) - (-276 kJ/mol)
ΔHrxn = -1367.5 kJ/mol

<em>Answer: -1367.5 kJ/mol</em>
