<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Potassium (K).

<u>Explanation:</u>

Alkali (Group 1) and Alkaline earth (Group 2) elements react with water to produce metal hydroxide and also releases hydrogen gas.

Reaction of group 1 elements with water:

2M+2H_2O\rightarrow 2MOH+H_2

Reaction of group 2 elements with water:

M+2H_2O\rightarrow M(OH)_2+H_2

From the given options:

Potassium (K): This metal belongs to Group 1 and readily reacts with water to form potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.

2K+2H_2O\rightarrow 2KOH+H_2

Tin (Sn): This element belongs to Group 14 and does not readily reacts with water.

Nickel (Ni): This element belongs to Group 10 and does not readily reacts with water.

Manganese (Mn): This element belongs to Group 7 and does not readily reacts with water.

Hence, the correct answer is potassium (K).

5g of a mixture of KOH and KCl with water form a solution of 250mL. We have 25ml of this solution and we mix it with 14,3mL of H
cricket20 [7]
We know that the number of moles HCl in 14.3mL of 0.1M HCl can be found by multiplying the volume (in L) by the concentration (in M).
(0.0143L HCl)x(0.1M HCl)=0.00143 moles HCl

Since HCl reacts with KOH in a one to one molar ratio (KOH+HCl⇒H₂O+KCl), the number of moles HCl used to neutralize KOH is the number of moles KOH. Therefore the 25mL solution had to contain 0.00143mol KOH.

To find the mass of KOH in the original mixture you have to divide the number of moles of KOH by the 0.025L to find the molarity of the KOH solution..
(0.00143mol KOH)/(0.025L)=0.0572M KOH

Since the morality does not change when you take some of the solution away, we know that the 250mL solution also had a molarity of 0.0572.  That being said you can find the number of moles the mixture had by multiplying 0.0572M KOH by 0.250L to get the number of moles of KOH.
(0.0572M KOH)x(0.250L)=0.0143mol KOH

Now you can find the mass of the KOH by multiplying it by its molar mass of 56.1g/mol.
0.0143molx56.1g/mol=0.802g KOH

Finally you can calulate the percent KOH of the original mixture by dividing the mass of the KOH by 5g.
0.802g/5g=0.1604
the original mixture was 16% KOH

I hope this helps.

A balloon has a volume of 6.2 liters at 23.2 C. The balloon is then heated to a temperature of 144.0 C. What is the volume of th
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

8.7 L

Explanation:

T2(V1/T1) = V2

417.15 K(6.2 L/296.45 K) = 8.7 L

Remember to almost always change celcius to kelvin. Also, this is part of Charle's Law (temp and volume are proportional, so if temp increaces so must the volume or vice versa). Lastly, Charle's Law has the formula of V1/T1 = V2/T2. I just rearranged it to go along with your problem. Hence, the T2(V1/T1) = V2

How do potential energy diagrams represent energy transfer in<br> chemical reactions?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Hope this helps

Explanation:

Potential energy diagrams represent the energy transfer in chemical reactions  in a diagram called a potential energy graph and/or a reaction progress curve. A potential energy diagram shows the adjustment in potential energy of a system as reactants are changed.

Calculate the slope of each line using the points given. (25.6cm³ , 28.16g), (17.3cm³, 19.03g)
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

1.1

Explanation:

The slope of a line can be calculated using the values of the x and y corrdinates. The equation is given as;

M = ΔY /  ΔX = Y2 - Y1 / X2 - X1

From the points;

(25.6cm³ , 28.16g) - (X1, Y1)

(17.3cm³, 19.03g) - (X2,  Y2)

Inserting the values into the equation;

M = 19.03 - 28.16 /  17.3 - 25.6

M = -9.13 / -8.3 = 1.1
