b) It is based on atomic properties as alkali metals requires 7 more electrons to complete their outer orbit. And they try to give those electrons to other elements to obtain noble gas configuration.

Noble gases are the gases which do not react easily with anything. They are also called as Inert gases, and belongs to group 18 of the periodic table.

Alkali metals are the substances which are found in Group I of a periodic table. Mostly the elements which are present are:

  • Lithium (Li)
  • Sodium (Na)
  • Potassium (K)
  • Rubidium (Rb)
  • Cesium (Cs)
  • Francium (Fr)

Properties of alkali metals are:  Soft, shiny reactive metals. They are soft enough to cut with knife. Metals react with water and air quickly and gets tarnish, so pure metals are stored in container by dipping them in oil to prevent oxidation.

Consider the oxidation of sodium metal to sodium oxide described by the balanced equation:
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

1116 g.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

4Na + O₂ —> 2Na₂O

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of O₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of Na₂O.

Next, we shall determine the theoretical yield of Na₂O. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of O₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of Na₂O.

Therefore, 9 moles of O₂ will react to produce = 9 × 2 = 18 moles of Na₂O.

Finally, we shall determine the mass in 18 moles of Na₂O. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of Na₂O = 18 moles

Molar mass of Na₂O = (23×2) + 16

= 46 + 16

= 62 g/mol

Mass of Na₂O =?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of Na₂O = 18 × 62

Mass of Na₂O = 1116 g

Thus, the theoretical yield of Na₂O is 1116 g.

A student carries out this chemical reaction in a beaker:
nydimaria [60]

Answer:The correct answer is option (C).

Explanation:

Zn+CuCl_2\rightarrow Cu+ZnCl_2

After the reaction between Zinc and copper(II) chloride, Zinc chloride and copper will be obtained as a product. This reaction occurs because zinc is more reactive than copper which displaces the copper from its aqueous solution.

The student will expect to find copper metal at bottom of the beaker with aqueous solution of zinc chloride.

Hence the correct answer is option (C).
