How do you find this does anyone know ?

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.

Given:

K = 0.71 = Kp

The reaction of sulphur with oxygen is

S(s) + O2(g) ---> SO2(g)

initial Pressure 6.90 0

Change -x +x

Equilibrium 6.90-x x

Kp = pSO2 / pO2 = 0.71 = x / (6.90-x)

4.899 - 0.71x = x

4.899 = 1.71x

x = 2.86 atm = pressure of SO2 formed

temperature = 950 C = 950 + 273.15 K = 1223.15 K

Volume = 50 L

Let us calculate moles of SO2 formed using ideal gas equation as

PV = nRT

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm / mol K

putting other values

n = PV / RT = 2.86 X 50 / 1223.15 X 0.0821 = 1.42 moles

Moles of Sulphur required = 1.42 moles

Mass of sulphur required or consumed = moles X atomic mass of sulphur

mass of S = 1.42 X 32 = 45.57 grams or 0.04557 Kg of sulphur

Hydrogen and oxygen react chemically to form water how much water would form if 14.8grams of hydrogen reacted with 34.8 grams of

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

There will be formed 39.1935 grams H2O formed

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation

2H2 + 02 → 2H20

Step 2: Given data

mass of hydrogen = 14.8 grams

Molar mass of hydrogen = 2.02 g/mole

mass of oxygen = 34.8 grams

Molar mass of oxygen = 32 g/mole

Step 3: Calculate moles

moles = mass / Molar mass

moles of hydrogen = 14.8g/ 2.02 g/mole = 7.33 moles

moles of oxygen = 34.8g / 32g/mole = 1.0875 moles

For 2 moles hydrogen consumed, we need 1 mole of oxygen.

This means oxygen is the limiting reagens and will be consumed completely. Hydrogen is the reactant in excess, there will remain 5.155 moles of hydrogen

Step 4: Calculate moles of H2O

We see that for 2 moles of H2 consumed, there is needed 1 mole of O2, to produce 2 moles of H2O.

For 1.0875 moles of oxygen consumed, there will be produced 2.175 moles of H2O

Step 5: Calculate mass of water

Mass of H2O = moles of H2O * Molar mass of H2O

Mass of H2O = 2.175 moles * 18.02 g/moles 39.1935 grams

There will be formed 39.1935 grams H2O formed
