For metals, reactivity _____ as you go from _____ in a period.

Chemistry
1 answer:

Reactivity - Reactivity refers to how likely or vigorously an atom is to react with other substances. This is usually determined by how easily electrons can be removed (ionization energy) and how badly they want to take other atom's electrons (electronegativity) because it is the transfer/interaction of electrons that is the basis of chemical reactions.  

Metals  

Period - reactivity decreases as you go from left to right across a period.  

Group - reactivity increases as you go down a group  

Why? The farther to the left and down the periodic chart you go, the easier it is for electrons to be given or taken away, resulting in higher reactivity.  

Non-metals  

Period - reactivity increases as you go from the left to the right across a period.  

Group - reactivity decreases as you go down the group.  

Why? The farther right and up you go on the periodic table, the higher the electronegativity, resulting in a more vigorous exchange of electron

Which solution below has the highest concentration of hydroxide ions?a. pH= 3.21b. pH= 7.00c. pH= 7.93d. pH= 12.59e. pH= 9.82
Sloan [31]

Answer:

  • <em>The solution that has the highest concentration of hydroxide ions is </em><u>d. pH = 12.59.</u>

Explanation:

You can solve this question using just some chemical facts:

  1. pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity: the higher the pH the lower the acidity and the higher the alkalinity.
  2. The higher the concentration of hydroxide ions the lower the acidity or the higher the alkalinity of the solution, this is the higher the pH.

Hence, since you are asked to state the solution with the highest concentration of hydroxide ions, you just pick the highest pH. This is the option d, pH = 12.59.

These mathematical relations are used to find the exact concentrations of hydroxide ions:

  • pH + pOH = 14 ⇒ pOH = 14 - pH

  • pOH = - log [OH⁻] ⇒ [OH^-]=10^{-pOH}

Then, you can follow these calculations:

Solution    pH        pOH                            [OH⁻]

a.               3.21       14 - 3.21 = 10.79        antilogarithm of 10.79 = 1.6 × 10⁻¹¹

b.               7.00      14 - 7.00 = 7.00        antilogarithm of 7.00 = 10⁻⁷

c.                7.93      14 - 7.93 = 6.07        antilogarithm of 6.07 = 8.5 × 10⁻⁷

d.               12.59     14 - 12.59 = 1.41        antilogarithm of 1.41 = 0.039

e.               9.82      14 - 9.82 = 4.18        antilogarithm of 4.18 = 6.6 × 10⁻⁵

From which you see that the highest concentration of hydroxide ions is for pH = 12.59.

Consider the following ionization reaction.
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry, an acid is a proton donor while a base is a proton acceptor.

Hence, if we consider the reaction above, we will notice that for each base there is a conjugate acid and for each acid there is a conjugate base.

For the acid HNO3, its conjugate base is NO3^- while for the acid H3O^+, its conjugate base is H2O.

Element Y has two natural isotopes Y-63 (62.940 amu) and Y-65 (64.928 amu). Calculate the atomic mass of element Y, given the ab
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Average atomic mass = 63.553 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Abundance of Y-63 = 69.17%

Abundance of Y-65 = 100 - 69.17 = 30.83%

Atomic mass of Y-63 = 62.940 amu

Atomic mass of Y-65 = 64.928 amu

Atomic mass of Y = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass= (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

Average atomic mass= (62.940×69.17)+(64.928×30.83) /100

Average atomic mass =  4353.560 + 2001.730 / 100

Average atomic mass = 6355.29 / 100

Average atomic mass = 63.553 amu.
