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.

Wskaż substancję, która ma największą zawartość procentową węgla w cząsteczce:
MrRa [10]

Answer: C2H4

Explanation:

The percentage composition of ethanol ( C2H5OH ) consist of 52.2% Carbon, Hydrogen of 13.0 and 34.8% of Oxygen.

The percentage composition of ethane gas (C2H6) consist of 80.0% carbon and 20.0% hydrogen.

The composition of Ethylene Glycols i.e C2H4(OH)2 is Carbon of 39.7%, 9.7% hydrogen and 51.6% oxygen.

The percent composition of c2h4 is 86% carbon, and 14% hydrogen.

From the information given, the substance with the highest percentage of carbon is C2H4

A buffer consists of 0.45 M CH3COOH (acetic acid) and 0.35 M CH3COONa. The Ka of acetic acid is 1.8 x 10-5 . a) Calculate the pH
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

A) pH of Buffer solution = 4.59

B) pH after 5.0 ml of 2.0 M NaOH have been added to 400 ml of the original    buffer solution = 4.65

Explanation:

This  is the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation:

 pH = pKa + log\frac{[conjugate base]}{[acid]}

to calculate the pH of the following Buffer solutions.
