Chemistry

Answer:

Explanation:

The period law state that when elements are listed in order of their atomic numbers, the elements fall into recurring groups, so that there is a recurrence of similar properties at regular intervals.

Na and K in the periodic table fall into the same group, this is because they both have one electrons in their outermost shell.

Na 11 -1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1

K 19 - 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

They share similar chemical and physical properties. Na and K are very reactive metals, they can loose/donate their outermost electron to non metals in other to attain stable octet state.

The form ionic compound when they react with non metals.

A reaction has a ΔH value of +120 kJ and a ΔS value of -42 J/K. At which of the following temperatures is the reaction spontaneo
ollegr [7]

Answer:

the reaction is spontaneous at T > 2900 K

Explanation:

  • ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

∴ ΔH = +120 KJ

∴ ΔS = (-42 J/K)*(KJ/1000 J) = -0.042 KJ/K

∴ ΔG < 0 ⇒ the reaction is spontaneous

⇒ at T = 2900 K:

⇒ ΔG = 120 - (2900)(-0.042) = 120 - 121.8 = - 1.8 KJ < 0

About 95-98 percent of alcohol is oxidized to what two substances
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

D. Water and Carbondioxide

Explanation:

Combustion of organic compounds in the presence of excess Oxygen will liberate carbondioxide (CO2) and water vapour (H2O). This is an exothermic reaction because heat is liberated to the surroundings.

CnH2n+1OH(aq) + (3/2*n)O2(g) --> nCO2(g) + (n + 1)H2O(g)

Addition of Oxygen can also be termed as a redox reaction. In this case, alcohols are oxidised while the Oxygen is reduced.

Example, (propanol)

C3H7OH(aq) + 9/2O2(g) --> 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g)
