The chemical characteristics or reactivity of a chemical element is highly (mostly) dependent on the: number of valence electrons in its outermost shell.

<h3>What is chemical characteristics?</h3>

A chemical characteristic can be defined as the properties of a chemical element or compound that is mainly observable and measurable during a chemical reaction such as reactivity.

<h3>What is a valence electron?</h3>

A valence electron can be defined as the number of electrons that are present in the outermost shell of an atom of a chemical element.

In Chemistry, the number of valence electrons (valency) is a property that is typically used to determine the chemical characteristics or reactivity of all chemical elements.  

In conclusion, the chemical characteristics or reactivity of a chemical element is highly (mostly) dependent on the number of valence electrons in its outermost shell.

Cu + 2AgNO3 →
netineya [11]

Answer: 292.54g of Ag

Explanation:

Cu + 2AgNO3 →Cu(NO3)2 + 2 Ag

mass conc. Of Ag = n x molar Mass

Mass conc. Of Ag = 2 x 108 = 216g

From the equation,

63.5g of Cu produced 216g of Ag

Therefore, 86g of Cu will produce Xg of Ag. i.e

Xg of Ag = (86 x 216)/63.5 = 292.54g
