Answer:

C. chromium is a metal that is less reactive than sodium.

Explanation:

Hello.

Given the options:

A. chromium is a nonmetal and therefore a good conductor of heat and electricity .

B. chromium is a metal that is more reactive than potassium .

C. chromium is a metal that is less reactive than sodium .

D. chromium is a noble gas that is not reactive.

In this case, since chromium is in period 4 group VIB we infer it is a transition metal which slightly reacts with acids and poorly reacts with oxygen and other oxidizing substances. Thus, in comparison with both sodium and potassium which are highly reactive even with water as they get on fire, we can say that it is less reactive than both potassium and sodium, therefore, answer is: C. chromium is a metal that is less reactive than sodium.

Best regards.

An oxybromate compound, kbrox, where x is unknown, is analyzed and found to contain 43.66 % br.

aniked [119]

Answer is: an oxybromate compound is KBrO₄ (x = 4).

ω(Br) = 43.66% ÷ 100%.

ω(Br) = 0.4366; mass percentage of bromine.

If we take 100 grams of compound:

m(Br) = ω(Br) · 100 g.

m(Br) = 0.4366 · 100 g.

m(Br) = 43.66 g; mass of bromine.

n(Br) = m(Br) ÷ M(Br).

n(Br) = 43.66 g ÷ 79.9 g/mol,

n(Br) = 0.55 mol; amoun of bromine.

From chemical formula (KBrOₓ), amount of potassium is equal to amount of bromine: n(Br) = n(K).

m(K) = 0.55 mol · 39.1 g/mol.

m(K) = 21.365 g; mass of potassium in the compound.

m(O) = 100 g - 21.365 g - 43.66 g.

m(O) =34.97 g; mass of oxygen.

n(O) = 34.97 g ÷ 16 g/mol.

n(O) = 2.185 mol.

n(K) : n(Br) : n(O) = 0.55 mol : 0.55 mol : 2.185 mol /÷ 0.55 mol.

n(K) : n(Br) : n(O) = 1 : 1 : 4.

g If you have three identical containers (same volume) at the same temperature and pressure, each with a different gas. Containe

Answer:

<em>The three gases, in the three identical containers, will all have the same number of molecules</em>

Explanation:

If these three gases (Helium He, Neon Ne, and Oxygen $O_{2}$ ) are all contained in separate identical containers with the same volume. And they are all stored at the same temperature, and pressure. Then, they'll all contain the same number of molecules. This is in line with Avogadro's law which states that "Equal volume of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules."
