<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).

zhenek [66]

Answer:

she can use crystalization method.

Explanation:

She should boil that liquid on flame and then cool it down on mederate temprature and check it out rather the crystals formed or not . if crystals are formed then there will be salts.

And if she want topredict the certain salt then she has to perform certain reactions.

Answer:

$9.8ms^{-2}$

Explanation:

using the equation :

$acceleration = \frac{final velocity - initial velocity}{timetaken} \\ a =\frac{v-u}{t}$

where v is 98m/s

u is 0m/s

t is 10seconds

$a=\frac{98m/s- 0m/s}{10} \\a=\frac{98}{10}\\ a=9.8m/s^{2}$

A compound is known to consist solely of carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine. Through elemental

OleMash [197]

Answer:

the empirical (lowest raios) is

C2H4Cl

Explanation:

A compound is known to consist solely of carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine. Through elemental analysis, it was determined that the compound is composed of 24.27% carbon.

What is the empirical formula of this compound?

the compound has ONLY C, H, and Cl

the % Cl = 100% - 24.27% -4.03% = 71.7%

in 100 gm, there are 71.7 gm Cl, 24.27 gm C, and 4.03 gm H

the number of moles are Cl=71.7/70.91 =1.01= ~ 1

C = 24.27/12.0 = 2.02 =~ 2

H = 403/1.01 = 3.97 =~ 4

so the empirical (lowest raios) is

C2H4Cl
