Answer: The correct answer is Potassium (K).

Explanation:

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).

328. mL of 0.00345 M NaI (aq) is combined with 703. mL of 0.00802 M Pb(NO3)2 (aq). Determine if a precipitate will form given th

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The solution will not form a precipitate.

Explanation:

The Ksp of PbI₂ is:

PbI₂(s) ⇄ 2I⁻(aq) + Pb²⁺(aq)

Ksp = 1.40x10⁻⁸ = [I⁻]²[Pb²⁺] Concentrations in equilibrium

When 328mL of 0.00345M NaI(aq) is combined with 703mL of 0.00802M Pb(NO₃)₂. Molar concentration of I⁻ and Pb²⁺ are:

[I⁻] = 0.00345M × (328mL / (328mL+703mL) = 1.098x10⁻³M

[Pb²⁺] = 0.00802M × (703mL / (328mL+703mL) = 5.469x10⁻³M

Q = [I⁻]²[Pb²⁺] Concentrations not necessary in equilibrium

If Q = Ksp, the solution is saturated, Q > Ksp, the solution will form a precipitate, if Q < Ksp, the solution is not saturated.

Replacing:

Q = [1.098x10⁻³M]²[5.469x10⁻³M] = 6.59x10⁻⁹

As Q < Ksp, the solution is not saturated and will not form a precipitate.

Consider the reaction H2(g) + I2(g) Double headed arrow. HI(g) with an equilibrium constant of 46.3 and a reaction quotient of 5

Alika [10]

Answer:

The reaction shifts to the left.

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant (K) = 46.3

Reaction Quotient (Q) = 525

The relationship between Q and K with their implications are given as;

K = Q (No net reaction)

K > Q (Reaction shifts to the right)

K < Q (Reaction shifts to the left)

Since in this question, Q (525) > K (46.3)

The reaction shifts to the left.

Kamila [148]

Answer:

$698 \ THz$

Explanation:

Data provided as per the question below:-

Wavelength = 430.nm

The computation of the frequency of the light is shown below:-

Frequency = Velocity of light ÷ Wavelength

The Velocity of light = $= {3.0 \times 10^8 \ m/s}$

Wavelength = 430 nm = $4.30 \times 10^-^7$ m

Frequency = $\frac{3.0 \times 10^8 \ m/s}{4.30 \times 10^-^7}$

$= 6.98 \times 10^1^4 \ hz$

$= 6.98 \times 10^2 \ Thz$

= $698 \ THz$

Therefore for determining the frequency we simply applied the above formula.
