Why magnesium and potassium chloride will not react together

Chemistry
1 answer:
Grace [21]3 years ago
3 0

The answer is: No reaction occurs because magnesium (Mg) is less reactive than potassium (K).

Potassium is higher in activity series of metals and can not be reduced.

Metal X will replace another metal Y in a solution if X is higher in the activity series.

Activity series is an empirical progression of a series of metals, arranged by their reactivity from highest to lowest (alkaline metals have highest reactivity and Noble metals lowest reactivity).

Activity series is an empirical progression of a series of metals, arranged by their reactivity from highest to lowest (alkaline metals have highest reactivity and Noble metals lowest reactivity):  

K > Ba > Sr > Na > Ca > Mg > Be > Al > Mn > Zn > Cr> Fe > Cd > Co > Ni > Sn > Pb > H(in acids) > Cu > Hg > Ag.

This series are used to summarize information about the reactions of metals with acids or water, double displacement reactions (more reactive metals displace metals with lower reactivity) and the extraction of metals from their ores.

How many grams of sodium are needed to react completely with 19
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

46 g of sodium

Explanation:

Sodium reacts vigorously with fluoride gas to form NaF as shown

2Na (s) + F2 (g) ------> 2NaF (s)            (Na = 23, F = 19)

2 moles of Na reacts with 1 mole of F2 to produce NaF

By calculating the molar mass of the elements involved in the reaction then multiplied by the mole, the mass can be obtained.

23 * 2 g/mol of Na reacts with 1 * 19 g/mol of F2

46 g/mol of Na reacts with 19 g/mol of F2 to produce NaF

Since the mole ratio is 2 to 1 and 19 g of F2 is used for the reaction, 46 g of sodium will be consumed for the reaction to be achieved.

MrRissso [65]
Hello!

<span>A chemical that will ignite spontaneously in air at a temperature of 130 degree fahrenheit (54.4 degree celsius) or below is identified by the term pyrophoric. 

Pyrophoric 
substances are those that ignite spontaneously when in contact with air at 130 °F or below. Some substances that are pyrophoric include Iron Sulfur (FeS) or some metals like finely powdered Uranium. To handle pyrophoric substances, it is required to work in an inert atmosphere (i.e. an atmosphere without oxygen).
