Answer:

The alkali earth metals have one valence electron.

Explanation:

Alkali earth metals are elements that constitute Group I in the periodic table. These include: lithium (Li),  sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs) and francium (Fr).

The alkali earth  metals are characterised by a outer or valence electron configuration of ns¹.

Li = 2s¹, Na = 3s¹, K = 4s¹, Rb = 5s¹, Cs = 6s¹

Therefore, in their outermost or valence shell these elements have only one  electron.

Hence the given statement: that the alkali earth metals have 5 valence electrons is false. Instead it should be reworded as:

The alkali earth metals have one valence electron.

Which of the following reactions Shows a chemical change producing a gas? APEX
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:2CH_3OH(l)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow2CO_2(g)+4H_2O(l)

Explanation: A chemical change is a reaction in which chemical composition of the substance changes. Some bonds are broken and some new bonds are formed.

The reactants are written in terms of their chemical formula on the left hand side and the products are written in terms of their chemical formula on right hand side with a arrow in between. The chemical symbols are followed by their physical states such as (l) for liquid, (s) for solid, (g) for gas and (aq) for aqueous.

Thus the only reaction producing a gas is 2CH_3OH(l)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow2CO_2(g)+4H_2O(l)

Choose the aqueous solution that has the highest boiling point. These are all solutions of nonvolatile solutes and you should as
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

0.100 M AlCl₃

Explanation:

The variation of boiling point by the addition of a nonvolatile solute is called ebullioscopy, and the temperature variation is calculated by:

ΔT = W.i

Where W = nsolute/msolvent, and i is the Van't Hoff factor. Because all the substances have the same molarity, n is equal for all of them.

i = final particles/initial particles

C₆H₁₂O₆ don't dissociate, so final particles = initial particles => i = 1;

AlCl₃ dissociates at Al⁺³ and 3Cl⁻, so has 4 final particles and 1 initial particle, i = 4/1 = 4;

NaCl dissociates at Na⁺ and Cl⁻ so has 2 final particles and 1 initial particle, i = 2/1 = 2;

MgCl₂ dissociates at Mg⁺² and 2Cl⁻, so has 3 final particles and 1 initial particle, i = 3/1 = 3.

So, the solution with AlCl₃ will have the highest ΔT, and because of that the highest boiling point.
