First off chlorine is not a metal so you can ignore that one.

Sodium and Rubidium are in group 1 of the periodic table and Magnesium is in group 2.

Group one metals are more reactive than group two because it is harder for the group two metals to lose their 2 valence (outer most) electrons.

As you go down group 1 there is an increase in the reactivity this is because as you go down there is an increase in the atomic radius which leads to more shielding. This weakens the electrostatic forces of attraction making it easier to lose the outermost electrons, therefore they are more reactive.

Since vinegar is 5% acetic acid and 95% water, find the mole ratio of acetic acid to water in 100 g of vinegar? Hint: Instead of
Oksanka [162]

The mole ratio of acetic acid to water in 100 g of vinegar is 0.015 : 0.985.

<h3>What is the mole ratio of acetic acid to water in 100 g of vinegar?</h3>

The mole ratio of acetic acid to water in 100 g of vinegar is determined from their percentage composition.

The percentage composition of acetic acid and water in vinegar is 5% acetic acid and 95% water.

In 100 g of vinegar, there are 5 g of acetic acid and 5 g of water.

Moles = mass/molar mass

molar mass of acetic acid = 62 g/mol

molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

moles of vinegar = 5/62 = 0.08

moles of water = 95/18 = 5.28

total moles = 5.36

Mole ratio of vinegar to water = 0.08/5.36 : 5.28/5.36

Mole ratio of vinegar to water = 0.015 : 0.985

In conclusion, the mole ratio is determined from the percentage composition of acetic acid and water in vinegar.

Balancing Chemical Equation<br> C=H2=CH4
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

C + 2H2 ⇒ CH4

Explanation:

In order to balance a chemical equation you need to make sure that the number of atoms on both sides are equal

C + H2 = CH4

C = 1

H = 2

Products:

C = 1

H = 4

H2 = 2 × 2 = 4

C + 2H2 ⇒ CH4

Hope this helps.
