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

Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

103.4 g H₂S (Sulfuric Acid)

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of S - 32.07 g/mol

Molar Mass of H₂S - 2(1.01) + 32.07 = 34.09 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

Set up: $\displaystyle 103.4 \ g \ H_2S(\frac{1 \ mol \ H_2S}{34.09 \ g \ H_2S})(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ H_2S}{1 \ mol \ H_2S})$
Multiply: $\displaystyle 1.82656 \cdot 10^{24} \ molecules \ H_2S$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 4 sig figs.</em>

1.82656 × 10²⁴ molecules H₂S ≈ 1.827 × 10²⁴ molecules H₂S

What is the nuclear binding energy in joules for an atom of lithium?

deff fn [24]

Answer:

<span>5.1012⋅<span>10<span>−12</span></span>J t</span>he idea here is that you need to use the mass of a single proton and the mass of a single neutron to calculate the mass of a lithium-6 nucleus, then use the measured value to find its mass defect.

The combustion of a sample of butane, C4H10 (lighter fluid), produced 2.46 grams of water.

avanturin [10]

a. 0.137

b. 0.0274

c. 1.5892 g

d. 0.1781

e. 5.6992 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

2 C4H10 + 13O2 -------> 8CO2 + 10H2O

2.46 g of water

Required

moles and mass

Solution

a. moles of water :

2.46 g : 18 g/mol = 0.137

b. moles of butane :

= 2/10 x mol water

= 2/10 x 0.137

= 0.0274

c. mass of butane :

= 0.0274 x 58 g/mol

= 1.5892 g

d. moles of oxygen :

= 13/2 x mol butane

= 13/2 x 0.0274

= 0.1781

e. mass of oxygen :

= 0.1781 x 32 g/mol

= 5.6992 g
