Which best explains why sodium is more reactive than magnesium?
A
Sodium has only one valence electron, while magnesium has two.
B
Sodium atoms typically have one more neutron than magnesium atoms do.
C
Sodium forms ions with a charge of 2+, but magnesium forms ions with a charge of 1+.
D
Sodium atoms tend to attract the electrons of other atoms more than magnesium atoms do.

Imagine that you have produced several versions of lactase, each of which differs from normal lactase by a single amino acid. describe a test that could indirectly determine which of the versions significantly alters the three-dimensional shape of the lactase protein.

7. using your knowledge of colligative properties explain whether sodium chloride or calcium chloride would be a more effective substance to melt the ice on a slick sidewalk. use 3 – 4 sentences in your explanation. 8. when a 2.5 mol of sugar (c12h22o11) are added to a certain amount of water the boiling point is raised by 1 celsius degree. if 2.5 mol of aluminum nitrate is added to the same amount of water, by how much will the boiling point be changed? show all calculations leading to your answer or use 3 – 4 sentences to explain your answer. 9. if 5.40 kcal of heat is added to 1.00 kg of water at 100⁰c, how much steam at 100⁰c is produced? show all calculations leading to an answer. 10. the freezing of water at 0⁰c can be represented as follows: h2o (l) ↔ h2o(s) the density of liquid water is 1.00 g/cm3. the density of ice is 0.92 g/cm3. in 3 – 4 sentences explain why applying pressure causes ice to melt.

Some molecular compounds, such as hcl, ionize completely in solution. for molecular compounds such as h2co3, most molecules do not ionize in solution. which describes the properties of these two solutes? a. hcl and h2co3 have the same effect on the properties of the solution. b. hcl raises the freezing point of water more than h2co3 does. c. hcl raises the boiling point of water more than h2co3 does.
