The reaction of quicklime, CaO, with water produces slaked lime, Ca(OH)2, which is widely used in theconstruction industry to make mortar and plaster. The reaction of quicklime and water is highly exothermic:CaO(s) + H2O(l) ⟶ Ca(OH)2(s) ΔH = −350 kJ mol−1(a) What is the enthalpy of reaction per gram of quicklime that reacts?(b) How much heat, in kilojoules, is associated with the production of 1 ton of slaked lime?

i believe the answer is a.

the seeing the electronic configuration we can say that the element is fluorine.

fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table.

but by only seeing the configuration we cannot say about its reactivity because we don't know if its configuration after excitation or by addition of electrons.

but if not then, it is the lightest halogen and exists as a highly toxic pale yellow diatomic gas at standard conditions. as the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive: almost all other elements, including some noble gases, form compounds with fluorine.

the population of unionid mussels in the hudson river decreased after zebra mussels were introduced. zebra mussels, a nonnative species, competed with the unionid mussels for food. the zebra mussels were able to outcompete the unionid mussels, allowing the zebra mussel population to increase dramatically over six years. the unionid mussel population decreased due to a lack of food.

hope this :
