Sorting the chemical elements in order from least reactive to most reactive, we have:

1. Fluorine (F).

2. Arsenic (As).

3. Antimony (Sb).

4. Silicon (S).

<u>Given the following chemical elements:</u>

  • Antimony (Sb).
  • Silicon (S).
  • Fluorine (F).
  • Arsenic (As).

Reactivity can be defined as a chemical property which determines how readily a chemical element <u>bonds</u> with other chemical elements, in order to form a new chemical compound.

Generally, the ability of a chemical element to bond with other chemical elements is largely (highly) dependent on the number of valence electrons it has in the outermost shell of its atomic nucleus.

As a general rule, chemical elements that are having <u>fewer</u> number of valence electrons are the most reactive while those having <u>higher</u> valence electrons are least reactive.

Also, chemical reactivity <u>decreases</u> down a group on the periodic table.

Based on the periodic table, the valency for the given chemical elements are:

  • <u>Antimony (Sb):</u> 5 valence electrons.
  • <u>Silicon (S):</u> 4 valence electrons.
  • <u>Fluorine (F):</u> 7 valence electrons.
  • <u>Arsenic (As):</u> 5 valence electrons.

In conclusion, sorting the chemical elements in order from least reactive to most reactive, we have:

1. Fluorine (F).

2. Arsenic (As).

3. Antimony (Sb).

4. Silicon (S).

1. How many milliliters of 10.0 M HNO 3 are needed to prepare 0.350 L of 0.400 M solution?
tatyana61 [14]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

14 milliliters

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

  • 10.0 M HNO₃

Prepared solution;

  • Volume of solution as 0.350 L
  • Molarity as 0.40 M

We are required to determine the initial volume of HNO₃

  • We are going to use the dilution formula;
  • The dilution formula is;

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

Rearranging the formula;

V₁ = M₂V₂ ÷ M₁

    =(0.40 M × 0.350 L) ÷ 10.0 M

   = 0.014 L

But, 1 L = 1000 mL

Therefore,

Volume = 14 mL

Thus, the volume of 10.0 M HNO₃ is 14 mL

What happens when the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure? The liquid freezes The intermolecular forces
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The liquid boils.

Explanation:

Vapor pressure is simply defined as the pressure exerted on a substance (solid/liquid) by the vapor of the substance collected just at the top of the surface of the substance. In concise words, it is the pressure of Vapor that is in contact with its solid or liquid state.

For a liquid, it is the pressure of the Vapor gathering at the top of the surface of the liquid.

When this Vapor pressure matches the external pressure, the temperature stays constant and the molecules of the liquid all through the liquid can gain enough energy, rise to the surface of the liquid and break free in gaseous form; thereby, boiling.

The definition of boiling point basically explains that it is the point at which temperature stays constant, and the vapour pressure of the liquid matches the atmospheric/external pressure around the liquid and its liquid molecules change into vapor.

This is why liquids boil faster at higher altitudes; the atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes is reduced, hence, the temperature at which liquid boils at this high altitude is normally lower than its known boiling point temperature.

It is also why food cooks to a temperature higher than the boiling point of water in a pressure cooker/pot. The added pressure ensures that the cooking water boils at temperatures higher than its boiling point; thereby exposing the cooking ingredients to a higher temperature, leading to faster cooking.

Hence, it is obvious why boiling is the answer to this question.

Susan uses Doppler radar to analyze wind patterns in five cities and determine how windy it is. Which statement describes how sh
andrezito [222]

Answer

Susan can process wind speed data from different regions.

Explanation

A Doppler radar is used in weather forecasting in measuring the direction and speed of objects such as drops of precipitation. It determines if the movement occurring in the atmosphere is horizontally towards or way from the radar. Susan can obtain velocity data about objects at a distance which might be water droplets thus be able to predict a coming weather

A 0.0200 gram piece of unknown alkaline earth metal, M, is reacted with excess 0.500 M H 2 SO 4 , and the hydrogen gas produced
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

0.981atm

Explanation:

According ot Dalton's law total pressure of a mixture of non-reactive gas is equal to sum of partial pressures of individual gases.

total pressure= 1.01at

Number of gases=2

Gases: water vapor and hydrogen

partial pressure of water vapor= 0.029atm

1.01= partial pressure of water vapor+ partial pressure of hydrogen

1.01= 0.029 + partial pressure of hydrogen

partial pressure of hydrogen = 0.981atm
