The answer is that “chlorine has a greater electron affinity than sodium does”. Sodium has a lesser electron affinity than Chlorine, which is why it is deliberated that Chlorine is much more suitable to be existent as an anion than sodium, due to the lack of its electron affinity.

"how many molecules of carbon dioxide exit your lungs when you exhale 5.00 × 10−2 mol of carbon dioxide, co2?"
IrinaVladis [17]
We are going to use Avogadro's constant to calculate how many molecules of

carbons dioxide exist in lungs:

when 1 mole of CO2 has 6.02 x 10^23 molecules, so how many molecules in

CO2 when the number of moles is 5 x 10^-2

number of molecules = moles of CO2 * Avogadro's number

                                     = 5 x 10^-2  * 6.02 x 10^23

                                     = 3 x 10^22 molecules 

∴ There are 3 x 10^22 molecules in CO2 exist in lungs

If the relative activities of two metals are known which metal is more easily oxidized
Ksivusya [100]
Answer: The metal that has a greater reactivity is more easily oxidized.

Explanation:

Oxidation is when the elements lose electrons and increase their oxidation state.

The metals tend to react by losing electrons and form the corresponding cation.

For expample, sodium (an alkalyne metal) loses one elecron and form the cation Na¹⁺ , then this cation combine with an anion and form compounds like NaCl, NaOH. The same do the other alkalyne metals.

Magnesium (an alkalyne earth metal) loses two electrons and form the cation Mg²⁺, then it combines with some anions to form compounds, like MgSO₄, Mg(OH)₂.

So, the easier the metal gets oxidized the greater its reactivity.
