Because the number of valence electrons of an element determines the properties and in particular the reactivity of that element.
In fact, elements of the first group (i.e. only one valence electron) have high reactivity, because they can easily give away their valence electron to atoms of other elements forming bonds. On the contrary, elements of the 8th group (noble gases) have their outermost shell completely filled with electrons, so they do not have valence electrons, and they have little or no reactivity at all.

Answer:
33 g.
Explanation:
Assuming no heat transfer can be possible except for heat exchange between water and steel, we can say that the heat lost by the knife, must be equal to the heat gained by the water.
As we have a limit for the maximum temperature of both elements (once reached a final thermal equilibrium), of 100ºC, which means that the maximum allowable change in temperature will be of 300º C for the knife, and of 80º C for the water.
Empirically , it has been showed that for a heat exchange process using only conduction, the heat needed to raise the temperature of a body, is proportional to the mass, being the proportionality constant a factor that depends on the material, called specific heat.
So, we can write the following equation:
cs*mk*Δtk = cw*mw*Δtw
Replacing by the givens of the question, we have:
0.11 cal/gºC * 80 g * 300ºC = 1 cal/gºC*mw*80ºC
Solving for mw = 2,640 cal / 80 cal/g =33 g.
Answer:
<h2>2540.16 J</h2>
Explanation:
The gravitational potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula
GPE = mgh
where
m is the mass
h is the height
g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s²
From the question we have
GPE = 72 × 9.8 × 3.6 = 2540.16
We have the final answer as
<h3>2540.16 J</h3>
Hope this helps you
