Which of these elements has the lowest melting point? (1) Li (3) K (2) Na (4) Rb

2 answers:

4 0

The answer is (4) Rb. From observation, we can find that these four elements are from first column. The melting point from top to the bottom is from high to low. So the answer is (4).

Answer: Option (4) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that on moving down a group there will be decrease in melting point of the element because of increase in number of shells.

As a result, outermost electrons move away from the nucleus due to which there will be decrease in force of attraction between the protons and valence electrons. Hence, there will be decrease in melting point.

Therefore, the given elements are of same group and Rb has largest atomic size.

Thus, we can conclude that Rb has the lowest melting point.

What reaction might we use to synthesize nickel sulfate,niso4? Write equations for acid base neutralization. Include states in y

il63 [147K]

Answer:

Here's what I get

Explanation:

1. Nickel sulfate

base + acid ⟶ salt + water

NiSO₄ is a salt of the base Ni(OH)₂ and the acid sulfuric acid.

Hydroxides of transition metals are insoluble; most sulfates are soluble.

$\underbrace{\hbox{Ni(OH)$_{2}$(s)}}_{\hbox{base}} + \underbrace{\hbox{H$_{2}$SO$_{4}$(aq)}}_{\hbox{acid}} \longrightarrow \, \underbrace{\hbox{NiSO$_{4}$(aq)}}_{\hbox{salt}} + \underbrace{\hbox{2H$_{2}$O(l)}}_{\hbox{water}}$

2. Carbonate + acid

Most carbonates are insoluble.

They react with acids to form carbonic acid (H₂CO₃), which decomposes into water and carbon dioxide.

$\rm NiCO_{3}(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \longrightarrow \, NiSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) + CO_{2}(g)$
