The melting points of Na and K are 89°C and 63°C, respectively because of weak attractive force.

Sodium and potassium belongs to group 1.

<h3>What is atomic radii? </h3>

The distance of the outermost shell to the nucleus is called atomic radii.

As we go down the group, new shell is added which means number of shell increase as we go down the group.

Due to increase in the number of shells, the distance of outermost shell to the positively charged nucleus increase.Due to which atomic radius increase.

Due to increase in the atomic radii, the nuclear force of attraction on outermost shell decreases down the group.

This decrease in the nuclear force of attraction cause decrease in the melting point.

We can say that, melting point of a compound is inversely proportional to the atomic radii.

Therefore, melting point of sodium is less than the potassium atom.

Thus, we concluded that the melting points of Na and K are 89°C and 63°C, respectively because of weak attractive force.

how does the percentage by mass of the solute describe the concentration of an aqueous solution os potassium sulfate

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

In an aqueous solution of potassium sulfate (K₂SO₄), the solute is K₂SO₄ and the solvent is water. The percentage by mass describes the grams of solute there are dissolved per 100 grams of solution. It can be calculated as:

mass percentage = (mass of solute/total mass of solution) x 100%

For example, in an aqueous solution which is 2% by mass of K₂SO₄, there are 2 grams of K₂SO₄ per 100 g of solution.

What are the characteristics of electromagnetic waves?

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer: Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature as they propagate by varying the electric and magnetic fields such that the two fields are perpendicular to each other.

Accelerated charges are responsible to produce electromagnetic waves.

Calculate: A. Mercury has a specific Heat Capacity of 0.14 J/goC. How much heat is needed to raise the thermometer temperature 1

kari74 [83]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 56 \ Joules}}$

Explanation:

We are given the mass, specific heat, and temperature, so we must use this formula for heat energy.

$q=mc \Delta T$

The mass is 5 grams, the specific heat capacity is 0.14 Joules per gram degree Celsius. Let's find the change in temperature.

ΔT= final temperature - initial temperature
ΔT= 95°C - 15°C = 80°C

We know the variables and can substitute them into the formula.

$m= 5 \ g \\c= 0.14 \ J/ g \ \textdegree C \\\Delta T= 80 \ \textdegree C$

$q= (5 \ g )( 0.14 \ J/ g \ \textdegree C ) ( 80 \ \textdegree C)$

Multiply the first numbers. The grams will cancel.

$q= 0.7 \ J/ \textdegree C(80 \ \textdegree C )$

Multiply again. This time the degrees Celsius cancel.

$q= 56 \ J$

56 Joules of heat are needed.

How can you prove copper is a catalyst?

jolli1 [7]

There is no way to know which reaction requires which catalyst. However, if you apply copper to a reaction where it does act as a catalyst, the rate of reaction will be much faster as it lowers the activation energy for successful collisions.
