For group 1a metals, which electron is the most difficult to remove?

1 answer:

4 0

The periodic table contains groups and periods that include the elements. For group 1 metal lithium is least likely to lose an electron.

<h3>What are group 1 metals?</h3>

Group 1 metals are the alkali metals that include, Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs. They show the property exhibited by the metals. The chemical trends of group 1 show that cesium loses an electron more easily than the other elements.

When going down the group the tendency to lose electrons increases as the atomic radius increases. The electron gets far away from the nucleus making it easy to get removed.

Therefore, lithium being the first element of the group has the smallest radii and is least likely to lose an electron.

What must be the molarity of an aqueous solution of trimethylamine, (ch3)3n, if it has a ph = 11.20? (ch3)3n+h2o⇌(ch3)3nh++oh−kb

<h3>Explanation</h3>

$(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}$ in this question acts as a weak base. As seen in the equation in the question, $(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}$ produces $\text{OH}^{-}$ rather than $\text{H}^{+}$ when it dissolves in water. The concentration of $\text{OH}^{-}$ will likely be more useful than that of $\text{H}^{+}$ for the calculations here.

Finding the value of $[\text{OH}^{-}]$ from pH:

Assume that $\text{pK}_w = 14$ ,

$\begin{array}{ll}\text{pOH} = \text{pK}_w - \text{pH} \\ \phantom{\text{pOH}} = 14 - 11.20 &\text{True only under room temperature where }\text{pK}_w = 14 \\\phantom{\text{pOH}}= 2.80\end{array}$ .

$[\text{OH}^{-}] =10^{-\text{pOH}} =10^{-2.80} = 1.59\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ .

Solve for $[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{initial}$ :

$\dfrac{[\text{OH}^{-}]_\text{equilibrium}\cdot[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}]_\text{equilibrium}}{[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{equilibrium}} = \text{K}_b = 1.58\times 10^{-3}$

Note that water isn't part of this expression.

The value of Kb is quite small. The change in $(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}$ is nearly negligible once it dissolves. In other words,

$[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{initial} = [(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{final}$ .

Also, for each mole of $\text{OH}^{-}$ produced, one mole of $(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}$ was also produced. The solution started with a small amount of either species. As a result,

$[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}] = [\text{OH}^{-}] = 10^{-2.80} = 1.58\times 10^{-3}\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ .

$\dfrac{[\text{OH}^{-}]_\text{equilibrium}\cdot[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}]_\text{equilibrium}}{[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\textbf{initial}} = \text{K}_b = 1.58\times 10^{-3}$ ,

$[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\textbf{initial} =\dfrac{[\text{OH}^{-}]_\text{equilibrium}\cdot[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}]_\text{equilibrium}}{\text{K}_b}$ ,

$[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{initial} =\dfrac{(1.58\times10^{-3})^{2}}{6.3\times10^{-5}} = 0.040\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ .

What product is formed when 1-bromopropane reacts with ch3o−?

STatiana [176]

When 1-Bromopropane is treated with methoxide it undergoes SN² Reaction. The product formed is Methyl Propyl Ether. This type of reaction is very important in synthesizing Asymmetric ethers. The alkoxides are oftenly generated by reacting Alcohols with sodium metal, which on elimination of Hydrogen gas produces corresponding alkoxide. The reaction of given statement is as follow,
