Sodium has a lower ionization energy than magnesium describes why sodium reacts vigorously than magnesium chloride.

<h3>Why is sodium more reactive than magnesium?</h3>
  • Sodium is more reactive than magnesium because it has the ability to easily lose electron, hence have lower ionization energy.
  • Sodium belong to group one on the periodic table and they are called akali metal while magnesium belong to group two on the periodic table and they are called alkali Earth metal.

  • Sodium and magnesium belong to the in the 3rd period. Iin the outermost energy level sodium has one electron but magnesium has 2 electrons. Therefore, there is more attraction abetween the nucleus and electrons in magnesium than that of sodium.

Therefore, sodium is more reactive than magnesium chloride because of lower ionization energy.

An aqueous solution of 10.03 g of catalase, an enzyme found in the liver, has a volume of 1.05 L at 27°C. The solution's osmotic
-Dominant- [34]

Answer : The molar mass of catalase is, 2.40\times 10^5g/mol

Explanation :

Formula used :

\pi =CRT\\\\\pi=\frac{w}{M\times V}RT

where,

\pi = osmotic pressure  = 0.745 torr = 0.000980 atm   (1 atm = 760 torr)

C = concentration

R = solution constant  = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T = temperature  = 27^oC=273+27=300K

w = mass of catalase = 10.03 g

M = molar mass of catalase = ?

V = volume of solution  = 1.05 L

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

0.000980atm=\frac{10.03g}{M\times 1.05L}\times (0.0821L.atm/mole.K)\times (300K)

M=2.40\times 10^5g/mol

Therefore, the molar mass of catalase is, 2.40\times 10^5g/mol

sergeinik [125]
<span>The type of map that shows the type and age of rocks in an area is called a Geologic Map. A geologic map is a special-purpose map that represents the distribution of diverse types of rocks, as well as locations of different geologic structures such as faults and folds. This map is the main source of information for various aspects of land-use planning, especially in the placement of transportation systems and buildings. Although they are typically depicted as two-dimensional, they can also be illustrated in its third or fourth dimension depending on the type of information needed to be taken. </span>

D - for example, Potassium has 1 electron on its outer shell, whilst Chlorine has 7 electrons on its outer shell. Potassium loses one electron to Chlorine so that each of them have a full outer shell. This would form Potassium Chloride.
