What do you look at to tell the reactivity of an atom?

Chemistry

tia_tia [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom determines its reactivity. Noble gases have low reactivity because they have full electron shells. Halogens are highly reactive because they readily gain an electron to fill their outermost shell.

15.0 g of cream at 10.0 ℃ are added to an insulated cup containing 150.0 g of coffee at 78.6 °C. Calculate the equilibrium tempe
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The equilibrium temperature of the coffee is 72.4 °C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of cream = 15.0 grams

Temperature of the cream = 10.0°C

Mass of the coffee = 150.0 grams

Temperature of the coffee = 78.6 °C

C = respective specific heat of the substances( same as water) = 4.184 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate the equilibrium temperature

m(cream)*C*(T2-T1) = -m(coffee)*c*(T2-T1)

15.0 g* 4.184 J/g°C *(T2 - 10.0°C) = -150.0g *4.184 J/g°C*(T2-78.6°C)

62.76T2 - 627.6 = -627.6T2 + 49329.36

690.36T2 = 49956.96

T2 = 72.4 °C

The equilibrium temperature of the coffee is 72.4 °C

For the elementary reaction NO3 + CO → NO2 + CO2 the molecularity of the reaction is ________, and the rate law is rate = ______
blagie [28]

Answer: For the elementary reaction NO_3+CO\rightarrow NO_2+CO_2 the molecularity of the reaction is 2, and the rate law is rate = k[NO_3]^1[CO]^1

Explanation:

Order of the reaction is defined as the sum of the concentration of terms on which the rate of the reaction actually depends. It is the sum of the exponents of the molar concentration in the rate law expression.

Elementary reactions are defined as the reactions for which the order of the reaction is same as its molecularity and order with respect to each reactant is equal to its stoichiometric coefficient as represented in the balanced chemical reaction.

Molecularity of the reaction is defined as the number of atoms, ions or molecules that must colloid with one another simultaneously so as to result into a chemical reaction.  Thus it can never be fractional.

For elementary reaction NO_3+CO\rightarrow NO_2+CO_2 , molecularity is 2 and rate law is rate=k[NO_3]^1[CO]^1

Why do substances burn with or without flame?
Gala2k [10]
Flame (fire) is the effect of a chemical reaction that produces visible light and heat. The chemical reaction is going on in the substance being burned.. Thats why coals glow and flames seem to leap into the air. 

<span>If your reaction does not have a flame, then either it is not producing visible light or the reaction does not occur in the air above the substance.</span>
