First off chlorine is not a metal so you can ignore that one.
Sodium and Rubidium are in group 1 of the periodic table and Magnesium is in group 2.
Group one metals are more reactive than group two because it is harder for the group two metals to lose their 2 valence (outer most) electrons.
As you go down group 1 there is an increase in the reactivity this is because as you go down there is an increase in the atomic radius which leads to more shielding. This weakens the electrostatic forces of attraction making it easier to lose the outermost electrons, therefore they are more reactive.
Answer:
2.77 mL of boiling water is the minimum amount which will dissolve 500 mg of phthalic acid.
Explanation:
We know from the problem that 18 g of phthalic acid are dissolved in 100 mL of water at 99 °C.
Now we devise the following reasoning:
If 18 g of phthalic acid are dissolved in 100 mL of water at 99 °C
Then 0.5 g of phthalic acid are dissolved in X mL of water at 99 °C
X = (0.5 × 100) / 18 = 2.77 mL of water
The answer is number 1 - energy is emitted
Energy is released when an atom in an excited state returns to the ground state.
Hmmmm i understand but i wanna know what to measure or whats about?
