Answer:liquid= _________ than the next ________ is heat
Explanation:
Fireworks owe their colors to reactions of combustion of the metals present. When Mg and Al burn, they emit a white bright light, whereas iron emits a gold light. Besides metals, oxygen is necesary for the combustion. The decomposition reactions of barium nitrate and potassium chlorate provide this element. At the same time, barium can burn emitting a green light.
(a) Barium nitrate is a <em>salt</em> formed by the <em>cation</em> barium Ba²⁺ and the <em>anion</em> nitrate NO₃⁻. Its formula is Ba(NO₃)₂. Potassium chlorate is a <em>salt</em> formed by the <em>cation</em> potassium K⁺ and the <em>anion</em> chlorate ClO₃⁻. Its formula is KClO₃.
(b) The balanced equation for the decomposition of potassium chloride is:
2KClO₃(s) ⇄ 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)
(c) The balanced equation for the decomposition of barium nitrate is:
Ba(NO₃)₂(s) ⇄ BaO(s) + N₂(g) + 3O₂(g)
(d) The balanced equations of metals with oxygen to form metal oxides are:
- 2 Mg(s) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2 MgO(s)
- 4 Al(s) + 3 O₂(g) ⇄ 2 Al₂O₃(s)
- 4 Fe(s) + 3 O₂(g) ⇄ 2 Fe₂O₃(s)
Answer:
Elements that belong to the <em>same </em><em>GROUP</em><em> </em>of the periodic table have the most similar chemical properties.
Explanation:
A GROUP in the periodic table is a column of elements with the same number of valence electrons. Since electrons are exchanged/shared during a chemical reaction, then elements with similar valence electrons, will react similarly. Thus elements belonging to the <em>same GROUP</em> are most similar in the way they react.
For example: Sodium and Lithium are group 1 elements while fluorine and chlorine are group 17 elements. In a reaction under normal conditions, Sodium and Lithium will both try to give up their single valence electron to form cations. In doing so they will react more similarly. On the other hand, Fluorine and Chlorine who are more inclined to accept a single electron to form cations react less like the group 1 elements and more like each other.
