Why aren't alkali metals found in pure form?

It mostly because they're so reactive and if they were in their pure form and touched water they would have a very violent reaction. They also want to be more stable so they look for more electrons and quickly bond.

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

1.40 atm

Explanation:

To answer this question we can use<em> Gay-Lussac's law</em>, which states:

  • P₁T₂=P₂T₁

When volume and number of moles remain constant.

  • P₁ = 1.11 atm
  • T₁ = 23°C ⇒ 23+273.16 = 296.16 K
  • T₂ = Boiling point of water = 100 °C ⇒ 100+273.16 = 373.16 K
  • P₂ = ?

We <u>put the known data in the equation and solve for P₂</u>:

  • 1.11 atm * 373.16 K = P₂ * 296.16 K
  • P₂ = 1.40 atm

Many homeowners treat their lawns with CaCO3(s) to reduce the acidity of the soil. Write a net ionic equation for the reaction o
Agata [3.3K]

The reaction of acid, assuming HCl and calcium carbonate always produces a gas. The reaction is as follows:
2 HCl + CaCO3 --> CaCl2 + H2CO3 
H2CO3, carbonic acid, is a weak acid that is unstable in water solutions at high concentrations. As such, it decomposes: 
H2CO3 --> H2O + CO2 
Then, 
2 HCl + CaCO3 --> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2 
The total ionic equation looks as follows: 
2H+(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq) + CaCO3(s) --> Ca+2(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) 
Clearly, Cl- is a spectator ion as it is unchanged in the reaction. The net ionic reaction looks as follows: 
2 H+(aq) + CaCO3(s) --> Ca+2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Which of the following would increase the amount to dissolve a solid solute?
AVprozaik [17]

By stirring and increasing temperature, there is an increase in dissolving capacity of the solid solute.

<u>Explanation:</u>

If a solute is added to the solution, it doesn't get dissolve easily then we have to increase the temperature, which in turn increases the movement of the solvent (may be water) and the solute particles, thus increases the dissolving power of the solid solute. One more way is by constant stirring, that is by making more contact among the solvent as well as the solute particles there by increasing the solubility of solid solute.
