Chemistry

<u>Answer:</u> The tendency of an element to react is closely related to the number of valence electrons in the element.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Chemical reactivity is defined as the tendency of an element to loose of gain electrons.

Metals tend to loose electrons and so their chemical reactivity is the tendency to loose electrons.

Non-metals tend to gain electrons and so their chemical reactivity is the tendency to gain electrons.

The number of electrons that an element will loose or gain depends on the number of valence electrons present around that element.

<u>For Example:</u> Chlorine has 7 valence electrons and need 1 electron to complete its octet, whereas sulfur has 6 valence electrons and need 2 electrons to complete its octet.

So, chlorine will gain 1 electron easily than sulfur and thus, is more reactive than sulfur.

Hence, the tendency of an element to react is closely related to the number of valence electrons in the element.

According to the Law of Definite Proportions from Dalton's Atomic Theory, each compound is composed of a fixed ratio of each of its individual elements. So, the number of individual elements per 1 particle of that compound is represented by the subscripts. The answers are as follows:

Table sugar: 12 atoms of carbon, 22 atoms of hydrogen; 11 atoms of oxygen; 45 total atoms
Marble: 1 atom of calcium, 1 atom of carbon; 3 atoms of oxygen; 5 total atoms
Natural gas: 1 atom of carbon, 4 atoms of hydrogen; 5 total atoms
Rubbing alcohol: 3 atoms of carbon, 8 atoms of hydrogen; 1 atom of oxygen; 12 total atoms
Table sugar: 1 atom of silicon; 2 atoms of oxygen; 3 total atoms

Tema [17]
For every 1 molecule of Magnesium hydroxide or Mg(OH)2 there will be 2 molecules of HCl neutralized.
If molar mass of magnesium hydroxide is 58.3197g/mol, the amount of mol in 5.50 g magnesium hydroxide should be: 5.50g/ (<span>58.3197g/mol)= 0.0943mol.
Then, the amount of HCl molecule neutralized would be: 2* </span>0.0943mol= 0.18861 mol

If molar mass of HCl is 36.46094 g/mol, the mass of the molecule would be: 0.18861 mol* 36.46094g/mol = 6.88grams
