The correct answer is higher melting point, bound by metal metal bonds.

While alkali metals only have one valence electron, alkaline earth metals have two. Metal to metal connections hold the metals together. Alkaline earth metals have a stronger metallic connection and a higher melting point because they have two valence electrons.

the characteristics that Group 2 metals excel in over Group 1 metals.

  • Initial Ionization Potential
  • Group 2 items are more difficult than group 1 elements.
  • Strong propensity to produce bivalent compounds

As a result, group 2 metals have stronger metallic bonding, which leads to increased cohesive energy and compact atom packing. This explains why group 2 metals are harder and have higher melting and boiling temperatures than group 1 metals.

The relative equilibrium concentrations of two chemical species (a and
Vilka [71]

ΔG° = 14.1 kJ/mol

For the reaction A → B, <em>K</em> = [B]/[A].

If [A] = 240 and [B] = 1, then

<em>K</em> = 1/240 = 4.167 x 10^(-3)

The relationship between Δ<em>G</em>° and <em>K</em> is:

Δ<em>G</em>° = -<em>RT</em>ln<em>K</em>

where

<em>R</em> = the gas constant = 8.314 J·K^(-1)mol^(-1)

<em>T</em> = the Kelvin temperature

In this problem, <em>T</em> = (37 + 273.15) K = 310.15 K

∴ #Δ<em>G</em>° = -8.314 J·K^(-1)mol^(-1) × 310.15 K × ln(4.167× 10^(-3)

= -2579 × [-5.481 J·mol^(-1)] = 14 100 J·mol^(-1) = 14.1 kJ/mol

Note: We should expect Δ<em>G</em>° to be positive because <em>K</em> < 1.

Which option gives an object's volume in SF units?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

2.6 m3 (B)

Explanation:

SF unit stands for Stowage factor unit. Stowage factor is the volume occupied by one unit of mass (weight) when stowed in cargo space. SF expresses the unit in cubic meters (m³) or cubic feet. SF is a unit of measurement that indicates how much space (volume) a particular unit of cargo occupies  in a ship's cargo compartment
