Answer:

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a measure of the ability of an atom to attract the electrons when the atom is part of a compound. Electronegativity values generally increase from left to right across the periodic table. The highest electronegativity value is for fluorine.

Predict the reactivity of silicon in water relative to that of sodium, magnesium, and aluminium. Explain your answer. How does t

Inessa [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reactivity of metals has a lot to do with their position in the electrochemical series. However, it is also known that metallic character decreases across the period. This implies that as we move from left to right along the periodic table. Sodium, magnesium, aluminum and silicon continues to decrease in metallic character. As a matter of fact, silicon is a metalloid and not a pure metal.

Sodium reacts with cold water to give a vigorous reaction,magnesium and aluminium reacts with steam at red heat.

Silicon does not react with water, even as steam, under normal conditions.

In an experiment, mice were fed glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) containing a small amount of radioactive carbon. The mice were closely monitor

Luden [163]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Cellular respiration involves a break down of sugars such as glucose to yield energy in the form of ATP and water together with carbon dioxide as byproducts.
In this case, when mice are fed with glucose, cellular respiration takes place breaking down glucose to yield energy in the form of ATP, water and carbon dioxide.
Therefore, the radioactive carbon in glucose showed up in carbon dioxide, since the carbon in glucose ends up in carbon dioxide.

Which unit can be used to express the concentration of a solution?

exis [7]

Answer: (3) ppm

Explanation: Concentration is defined as the amount of solute dissolved in a known amount of the solvent or a solution.

Parts per million (ppm) is used to express the concentration when a very small quantity of solute is present in a large quantity of the solution. It is defined as the mass of solute present in one milion $(10^6)$ parts by mass of the solution.

$ppm=\frac{\text {mass of Solute}}{\text {Mass of solution}}\times 10^6$

L/s is used to express flow rate.

J/g is used to express energy per unit mass.

kPa is used to express pressure.
