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.

When electrodes are used to record the electrocardiogram, an electrolyte gel is usually put between them and the surface of the

klemol [59]

Answer:

The equivalent circuit for the electrode while the electrolyte gel is fresh

From the uploaded diagram the part A is the electrolyte, the part part B is the electrolyte gel when is fresh and the part C is the surface of the skin

Now as the electrolyte gel start to dry out the resistance $R_s$ of the gel begins to increase and this starts to limit the flow of current . Now when the gel is then completely dried out the resistance of the gel $R_s$ then increases to infinity and this in turn cut off flow of current.

The diagram illustrating this is shown on the second uploaded image
