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.

A balloon filled with air has a volume of 4.24 liters at 23.00°C. If the balloon is cooled at constant pressure to 5.00°C, what
hammer [34]

Answer:

The new volume if the balloon is cooled at constant pressure is 3.98 L

Explanation:

The new volume is calculated using the Charles law formula

that is V1/ T1 = V2/T2 where,

V1 = 4.24 l

T1= 23c into kelvin = 23 +273 =296 K

T2 = 5.00 c into kelvin = 5.00 + 273 = 278 K

V2 = ?

by making V2 subject the subject of the formula by multiplying both side by T2

V2 = V1 xT2/ T1

V2 = (4.24 L x 278 K) / 296 k = 3.98 L
