<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).

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and velocity ?

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the object and to the square of its velocity: K.E. = 1/2 m v2. If the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared.

a. pH=2.07

b. pH=3

c. pH=8

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

pH=-log [H⁺]

a) 0.1 M HF Ka = 7.2 x 10⁻⁴

HF= weak acid

$\tt [H^+]=\sqrt{Ka.M}\\\\(H^+]=\sqrt{7.2.10^{-4}\times 0.1}\\\\(H^+]=8.5\times 10^{-3}\\\\pH=3-log~8.5=2.07$

b) 1 x 10⁻³ M HNO₃

HNO₃ = strong acid

$\tt pH=-log[1\times 10^{-3}]=3$

c) 1 x 10⁻⁸ M HCl

$\tt pH=-log[1\times 10^{-8}]=8$

Which is the term for an ion that has more protons than electrons

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The correct answer is cation. See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

An atom with a net charge, either positive or negative, is called an ion. In the event that an atom loses an electron (or more), that is, it will have more protons than electrons, and its net charge will be positive, it will be called cation. In the opposite direction, if an atom gains electrons, it will have a negative net charge, called anion.
