Does anyone know the properties of group 1 on the periodic table?
bija089 [108]
The alkali metals make up Group 1 of the periodic table. This family consists of the elements lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr, respectively). Group one elements share common characteristics. They are all soft, silver metals. Due to their low ionization energy, these metals have low melting points and are highly reactive. The reactivity of this family increases as you move down the table. Alkali metals are noted for how vigorously they react with water. Due to this, they are often stored in mineral oil and are not found in their elemental forms in nature. These characteristics can be explained by examining the electronic structure of each element in this group. Alkali metals have one valence electron. They readily give up this electron to assume the noble gas configuration as a cation. This makes the elements in this group highly reactive.hope this helps you ok.

A mixture of 75 mole% methane and 25 mole% hydrogen is burned with 25% excess air. Fractional conversions of 90% of the methane
son4ous [18]

Solution :

Consider a mixture of methane and hydrogen.

Take the basis as 100 moles of the mixture.

The mixture contains 75% of methane and 25% of hydrogen by mole and it is burned with 25% in excess air.

Moles of methane = 0.75 x 100

Moles of hydrogen = 0.25 x 100

The chemical reactions involved during the reaction are :

$CH_4+2O_2 \rightarrow CO_2 + 2H_2O$

$CH_4+1.5O_2 \rightarrow CO+2H_2O$

$H_2+0.5O_2 \rightarrow H_2O$

The fractional conversion of methane is 90%

Number of moles of methane burned during the reaction is = 0.9 x 75

                                                                                                   = 67.5

Moles of methane leaving = initial moles of methane - moles of methane burned

                                           = 75 - 67.5

                                           = 7.5 moles

Fractional conversion of hydrogen is 85%

The number of moles of hydrogen burned during the reaction is = 0.85 x 25

                                                                                                   = 21.25

Moles of hydrogen leaving = initial moles of hydrogen - moles of hydrogen burned

                                           = 25 - 21.25

                                           = 3.75 moles

Methane undergoing complete combustion is 95%.

$CO_2$ formed is = 0.95 x 67.5

                       = 64.125 moles

$CO$ formed is = 0.05 x 67.5

                       = 3.375 moles

Oxygen required for the reaction is as follows :

From reaction 1, 1 mole of the methane requires 2 moles of oxygen for the complete combustion.

Hence, oxygen required is = 2 x 75

                                            = 150 moles

From reaction 3, 1 mole of the hydrogen requires 0.5 moles of oxygen for the complete combustion.

Hence, oxygen required is = 0.5 x 25

                                            = 12.5 moles

Therefore, total oxygen is = 150 + 12.5 = 162.5 moles

Air is 25% excess.

SO, total oxygen supply = 162.5 x 1.25 = 203.125 moles

Amount of nitrogen = $203.125 \times \frac{0.79}{0.21} $

                                = 764.136 moles

Total oxygen consumed = oxygen consumed in reaction 1 + oxygen consumed in reaction 2 + oxygen consumed in reaction 3

Oxygen consumed in reaction 1 :

1 mole of methane requires 2 moles of oxygen for complete combustion

 = 2 x 64.125

 = 128.25 moles

1 mole of methane requires 1.5 moles of oxygen for partial combustion

= 1.5 x 3.375

= 5.0625 moles

From reaction 3, 1 mole of hydrogen requires 0.5 moles of oxygen

= 0.5 x 21.25

= 10.625 moles.

Total oxygen consumed = 128.25 + 5.0625 + 10.625

                                        = 143.9375 moles

Total amount of steam = amount of steam in reaction 1 + amount of steam in reaction 2 + amount of steam in reaction 3

Amount of steam in reaction 1 = 2 x 64.125 = 128.25 moles

Amount of steam in reaction 2 = 2 x 3.375 = 6.75 moles

Amount of steam in reaction 3  = 21.25 moles

Total amount of steam = 128.25 + 6.75 + 21.25

                                     = 156.25 moles

The composition of stack gases are as follows :

Number of moles of carbon dioxide = 64.125 moles

Number of moles of carbon dioxide = 3.375 moles

Number of moles of methane = 7.5 moles

Number of moles of steam = 156.25 moles

Number of moles of nitrogen = 764.136 moles

Number of moles of unused oxygen = 59.1875 moles

Number of moles of unused hydrogen = 3.75 moles

Total number of moles of stack  gas

= 64.125+3.375+7.5+156.25+764.136+59.1875+3.75

= 1058.32 moles

Concentration of carbon monoxide in the stack gases is

$=\frac{3.375}{1058.32} \times 10^6$

= 3189 ppm

b).  The amount of carbon monoxide in the stack gas can be decreased by increasing the amount of the excess air. As the amount of the excess air increases, the amount of the unused oxygen and nitrogen in the stack gases will increase and the concentration of CO will decrease in the stack gas.

Which equation represents a redox reaction?
labwork [276]

Answer:

D. 2NaBr + Cl_2\rightarrow 2NaCl + Br_2

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for the given set of chemical reactions, it is possible to infer that D. is a categorized as redox due to the following:

Since both chlorine and bromine remain as diatomic gases, their oxidation states in such a form is 0, but as anions with lithium cations they have a charge of - according to the following reaction and half-reactions:

2NaBr + Cl_2\rightarrow 2NaCl + Br_2

Cl_2^0+2e^-\rightarrow 2Cl ^-\\\\2Br^- \rightarrow  Br_2^0+2e^-

Unlike the other reactions whereas no change in the oxidation states is evidenced.

Organize the following list of atoms from lowest to highest Electronegativity:
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Barium<Strontium<Calcium <Magnesium< Beryllium

Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as the ability of an atom in a bond to attract the shared electrons of the bond towards itself.

Electronegativity is a periodic trend that decreases down the group and increases across the period.

Hence, if i want to arrange Beryllium, Barium, Strontium, Magnesium, Calcium in order of increasing electronegativity, i will have;

Barium<Strontium<Calcium <Magnesium< Beryllium
