Answer:

easy

Explanation:

In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. This law means that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another.

Answer:

- Energy is not created or destroyed

- Energy only transforms

Explanation:

Law of conservation of energy. It constitutes the first principle of thermodynamics and states that the total amount of energy in any isolated system (without interaction with any other system) remains unchanged over time, although such energy can be transformed into another form of energy.

The law of conservation of energy states that nothing exists and can not exist capable of generating energy, there is neither can exist anything capable of making energy disappear and finally if it is observed that the amount of energy varies, it will always be possible to attribute said variation to an exchange of energy with some other body or with the surrounding environment.

Energy is the ability of bodies or systems of bodies to perform a job. Every system that passes from one state to another produces physical or chemical phenomena that are nothing more than manifestations of some transformation of energy, since this can occur in different forms: kinetic, potential, electrical, mechanical, chemical. Whenever an amount of one class of energy is produced, an exactly equivalent amount of another class or classes should be consumed.

What three (3) factors determine the reactivity of elements? Explain and give examples of each.

Degger [83]

Explanation:

The three factors which determine the reactivity of elements are as follows.

(1) Number of valence electrons.

(2) Size of an atom.

(3) Electro negativity of an atom.

All these factors are explained as follows.

(1) Number of valence electrons

According to the octet rule, every atom requires to attain stability. Therefore, number of electrons in the outermost shell will decide the reactivity of an atom as every atom needs to fill its shells or sub shells as per the octet rule. As a result, the reactivity increases.

For example, the atomic number of chlorine is 17 and its electronic configuration is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{5}$

In the 3p sub shell, there is deficiency of one electron. So, in order to attain stability chlorine atom will react readily with another species or atom which can either donate or share one electron.

Whereas an atom with completely fill shell will have low reactivity.

(2) Size of an atom

On moving down the group size of atom increases. As a result, the attraction between the nucleus and electrons decreases due to the shielding effect. Thus, the larger is an atom, the more easily it can give electrons. Therefore, the reactivity increases.

For example, the atomic number of calcium is 20 and its electronic configuration is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{6}4s^{2}$

Also it is known that first shell of every atom can have 2 electrons, second shell can have 8 electrons, third shell can have 18 electrons and so on.

Since, calcium is larger in size as compared to beryllium and magnesium so it will readily loose 2 electrons to attain stability. Thus, it will attain a $Ca^{2+}$ charge.

(3) Electro negativity of an atom

An atom with uneven distribution of electrons will acquire a certain amount of charge. Thus, it becomes polar in nature and in order to gain stability, the atom will either loose or gain electrons according to its charge.

For example, atomic number of fluorine is 9 and its electronic configuration is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{5}$ .

So, in order to gain stability fluorine will readily accept 1 electron to completely fill its 2p sub shell. As a result, the electronic configuration will become $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}$

Therefore, fluorine will have a charge of -1 because it has gained one electron.

How do you find the molar mass of a hydrate

Darya [45]

If you mean hydrate as in <em>MgSO4 · 7H2O, </em>then simply find the molar mass of each element you see.

For the example above, that means you would add the molar mass (found on the periodic table) of Mg, then S, then 4(O), 14(H), and 7(O).

The results would be your molar mass for the hydrate.

I hope this is what you meant by your question!
