Answer: The correct answer is option(4).

Explanation:

Metal have property of readily loosing an electron.

When we move down the group , atomic size of the atom increases by which valence electrons move far away from the nucleus. And ability to loose an electron(s) from the valence shell also increases. Hence, metallic character increases on moving down the group.

From the given options of elements of group 14,tin will be last element in the group with the highest metallic character than the carbon , germanium and silicon.

Hence, the correct answer is tin(Sn).

I would say that the answer is Sn.
C-is a non-metal
Ge-is a metalliod (consists both non-metal and metal)
Si -is a metalloid
Sn- is a pure metal

Yes it is available. It will continue catalyzing the reactions until it becomes completely consumed. That's how enzymes work. They work and are eventually consumed in the process completely without altering the reaction in any way other than speeding it up.

How many half-lives are required for the concentration of reactant to decrease to 1.56% of its original value?4247.56.56

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

6 half-lives are required for the concentration of reactant to decrease to 1.56% of its original value.

Explanation:

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

$[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}$

Where,

$[A_t]$ is the concentration at time t

$[A_0]$ is the initial concentration

Given:

Concentration is decreased to 1.56 % which means that 0.0156 of $[A_0]$ is decomposed. So,

$\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}$ = 0.0156

Thus,

$\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}=e^{-k\times t}$

$0.0156=e^{-k\times t}$

kt = 4.1604

The expression for the half life is:-

Half life = 15.0 hours

$t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}$

Where, k is rate constant

So,

$k=\frac {ln\ 2}{t_{1/2}}$

$\frac{4.1604}{t}=\frac {ln\ 2}{t_{1/2}}$

$t = 6\times t_{1/2}$

6 half-lives are required for the concentration of reactant to decrease to 1.56% of its original value.

Which of the following undergoes change during a chemical reaction? A. atomic masses of elements in reactants B. element identit

Virty [35]

Chemical bonds between atoms in reactants undergo change during a chemical reaction.

The substance (or substances) initially involved in a chemical reaction are called reactants or reagents. Chemical reactions are usually characterized by a chemical change, and they yield one or more products, which usually have properties different from the reactants.

The correct answer between all the choices given is the last choice or letter D. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

What element would have similar chemical properties as oxygen

xeze [42]

Answer:

Oxygen is in group 16/VIA, which is called the chalcogens, and members of the same group have similar properties. Sulfur and selenium are the next two elements in the group, and they react with hydrogen gas (H2) in a manner similar to oxygen.
