Alkali metals are found in many common substances but are rarely found in pure form. Explain why this is in the case

Chemistry
1 answer:
Evgesh-ka [11]3 years ago
6 0

Alkali metals are rarely found in pure form because they are so reactive.

Alkali metals are in Group 1 of the Periodic Table.

They need to lose only one valence electron to reach a filled valence shell

Thus, they readily react wirh water and other chemicals in the earth to form compounds.

Phosgene is formed from carbon monoxide and chlorine. At 611 oC, Kc is approximately 16.5 M-1 or L/mol. Calculate Kp (in atm-1)
defon

Answer:

Kp is 0.228/atm

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

CO + Cl<u>₂</u> → CCl₂O

1 mol of carbon monoxide and 1 mol of chlorine produce 1 mol of phosgene.

Formula for Kp which derivates from Kc is:

Kp = Kc (R.T)ⁿᵇ ⁻ ⁿᵃ

Δп = nb (moles in the products) - nₐ(moles in the reactants)

Δп = 1 - 2 = -1

T is T° in K → T°C + 273 = 611°C +273 = 884K

R → Universal constant gas → 0.082 L.atm/mol.K

We replace the data: Kp = 16.5 L/mol (0.082 . 884K)⁻¹ → 0.228/atm
