<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.
Photosynthesis is the process by which CO₂ is converted to an organic compound. The complete reaction is as follows;
6CO₂ + 6H₂O --> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
stoichiometry of CO₂ to C₆H₁₂O₆ is 6:1
For 1 mol of C₆H₁₂O₆ to be formed - 6 mol of CO₂ is required
Therefore for 3.21 mol of C₆H₁₂O₆ to be formed - 6 x 3.21 mol of CO₂ required
Number of moles required are - 19.26 mol of CO₂
Answer:
Gases are easily compressed. We can see evidence of this in Table 1 in Thermal Expansion of Solids and Liquids, where you will note that gases have the largest coefficients of volume expansion. The large coefficients mean that gases expand and contract very rapidly with temperature changes. In addition, you will note that most gases expand at the same rate, or have the same β. This raises the question as to why gases should all act in nearly the same way, when liquids and solids have widely varying expansion rates.
The answer lies in the large separation of atoms and molecules in gases, compared to their sizes, as illustrated in Figure 2. Because atoms and molecules have large separations, forces between them can be ignored, except when they collide with each other during collisions. The motion of atoms and molecules (at temperatures well above the boiling temperature) is fast, such that the gas occupies all of the accessible volume and the expansion of gases is rapid. In contrast, in liquids and solids, atoms and molecules are closer together and are quite sensitive to the forces between them.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
There are three states of mater; solid liquid and gas. The sold state is the difficult to compress while the gaseous state is quite easy to compress.
A gas is easily compressed because the particles in a gas are far apart from each other. A solid is difficult to compress because the particles of a solid are close together. From all the above statements, it is easily deducible that the compressibility property of a substance in a particular state of matter depends on the proximity of the particles to each other, hence the answer above.
