The answer is: K is more reactive than Ca because K has to lose only one electron to complete its outermost shell.
Potassium is a chemical element with atomic number 19 (number of electrons is 19).
Electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉K 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.
Potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.
Periodic law is the arrangement of the elements in order of increasing atomic number.
For example all alkaline metals (I group of periodic table, Na, K, Cs...) loose one electron in chemical reaction and react vigorously with water.
Reactivity series is an empirical progression of a series of metals, arranged by their reactivity from highest to lowest (alkaline metals have highest reactivity and Noble metals lowest reactivity).
The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).
Alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons (one electron, earth alkaline metals (right next to alkaline metals) have higher ionization energy than alkaline metals, because they have two valence electrons.
Answer:
Explanation:
Kinetic Molecular Theory states that gas particles are in constant motion and exhibit perfectly elastic collisions.The average kinetic energy of a collection of gas particles is directly proportional to absolute temperature only.
Answer:
∴ΔH₂ = - 12,258 KJ
Explanation:
Enthalpy:
Enthalpy is a property of a thermodynamic system. Enthalpy of a system is equal to the sum of internal energy of the system and presser times volume of the system.
The heat absorbes or releases in a closed system is the change of enthalpy of the system.
Given reactions are:
Reaction 1: C₃H₈(g)+5O₂(g)→ 3CO₂(g)+4H₂O, ΔH₁= - 2043 KJ
Reaction 2: 6C₃H₈(g)+30 O₂(g)→ 18 CO₂(g)+24 H₂O, ΔH₂=?
Take a look at reaction 1 and reaction 2, the only difference is that 1 molecule of C₃H₈ is combusted in reaction 1 and 6 molecules of C₃H₈ is combusted in reaction 2.
We can think the reaction 2 as occurring 6 different container and each containers contains 1 molecule of C₃H₈. The enthalpy is an extensive property. Total enthapy of the 6 containers is = 6×(-2043 KJ)
= - 12,258 KJ
∴ΔH₂ = - 12,258 KJ
Answer:
2.28 m
Explanation:
Use the relationship
λ=vf
to solve for wavelength λ. Substituting the known quantities yields:
λ=vf
λ=2.99 x 108 m/s1.31 x 108 Hz
λ=2.28 m
Answer:
1.31x10⁻³ moles of H₂
Explanation:
This is the equation:
Mg(s) + 2H₂O (g) → Mg(OH)₂ (aq) + H₂(g)
Ratio is 1:1, so 1 mol of Mg is needed to produce 1 mol of H₂
Mass / Molar mass = Mol
0.032 g / 24.3 g/m = 1.31x10⁻³ moles
1.31x10⁻³ moles of H₂(g)
