Answer is: a. Rubidium (Rb) is more reactive than strontium (Sr) because strontium atoms must lose more electrons.
The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).
Alkaline metals (group 1), in this example rubidium, have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons (one electron), they are most reactive metals.
Earth alkaline metals (group 2), in this example strontium, have higher ionization energy than alkaline metals, because they have two valence electrons, they are less reactive.
Rubidium electron configuration: ₃₇Rb 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰4s²4p⁶5s¹; one valence electron is 5s¹ orbital.
Strontium electron configuration: ₃₈Sr 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰4s²4p⁶5s²; two valence electrons is 5s² orbital.
First M stands for Molarity which is (moles of solute) / (Liters of solution). we also know that moles = (mass) / (molar mass). so we can form some equations here. We know:
Molarity (M) = moles (mol) / Liters (L)
moles (mol) = (mass) / (molar mass)
we can substitute the (mass) / (molar mass) for (moles) and get:
M = [(mass) / (molar mass)] / Liters
we can now isolate mass and get
M * Liters * molar mass = mass
now we need to find the molar mass of CaCl2 which is 110.98 g/mol
plug the values in and get
.350M * 6.5L * 110.98 g/mol = mass
mass = 252.4795g however the 6.5L has only 2 sig figs so i would say
mass CaCl2 = 2.5 * 10 ^2 g
It is believed that the entire solar system was born f<span>rom an early nebula.</span>
8.5L H2O (1 mol H2O/22.4L)=.37946 mol H2O
.3796 mol H2O(1 mol CH4/2 mol H2O)=.18973 mol CH4
.18973 mol CH4(22.4L/1mol CH4)=4.25L CH4 gas
Answer:
Passivation of Oxide layers of the metals.
Explanation:
Passivation is a non-electrolytic finishing process that makes most metals rust-resistant. The prosses removes free iron from the surface by using either nitric or citric acid. When this happens, it results to an inert, protective oxide layer that is very slow or less likely to chemically react with air and cause corrosion.
Passivity caused many of the metals several minutes to begin to react. Once the finishing process that makes metals less likely to react was eroded, reaction was initiated vigorously.
