Why are the alkali metals and the halogens very reactive

Chemistry
1 answer:
jeyben [28]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Answer in explanation

Explanation:

The reactivity or passiveness of an element depends solely on how close it is to attain a noble gas configuration. This means the closer an element is to attain a noble gas configuration, the greater its reactivity in both direction, positively or negatively.

Alkali metals belong to group 1 of the periodic table while halogens belong to group 17 of the periodic table. This means they are just one electron away from achieving the stability of a noble gas configuration. While alkali metals need to lose one electron to form a univalent positive ion, halogens news to gain one electron to form a univalent negative ion.

They tend to go about this vigorously and as such undergo several chemical reactions because of that single electron they neeed.

The reform reaction between steam and gaseous methane (CH4) produces "synthesis gas," a mixture of carbon monoxide gas and dihyd
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The answer is "= 0.078 \ kg \ H_2".

Explanation:

calculating the moles in CH_4 =\frac{PV}{RT}

                                                =\frac{(0.58 \ atm) \times (923 \ L) }{ (0.0821 \frac{L \cdot atm}{K \cdot mol})(232^{\circ} C +273)}\\\\=\frac{(535.34 \ atm \cdot \ L) }{ (0.0821 \frac{L \cdot atm}{K \cdot mol})(505)K}\\\\=\frac{(535.34 \ atm \cdot \ L) }{ (41.4605 \frac{L \cdot atm}{mol})}\\\\= 12.9 \ mol

Eqution:

CH_4 +H_2O \to  3H_2+ CO \ (g)

Calculating the amount of H_2 produced:

= 12.9 \ mol CH_4 \times  \frac{3 \ mol \ H_2 }{1 \ mol \ CH_4}\times \frac{2.016 g H_2}{1 \ mol \ H_2}\\\\= 78 \ g \ H_2 \\\\= 0.078 \ kg \ H_2

So, the amount of dihydrogen produced = 0.078 \frac{kg}{s}

determine the frequency and wavelength (in nm) of the light emitted when the e- fell from n=4 and n=2
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Frequency = 6.16 ×10¹⁴ Hz

λ = 4.87×10² nm

Explanation:

In case of hydrogen atom energy associated with nth state is,

En =  -13.6/n²

For n = 2

E₂ = -13.6 / 2²

E₂ = -13.6/4

E₂ = -3.4 ev

Kinetic energy of electron = -E₂ = 3.4 ev

For n = 4

E₄ = -13.6 / 4²

E₄ = -13.6/16

E₄ = -0.85 ev

Kinetic energy of electron = -E₄ = 0.85 ev

Wavelength of radiation emitted:

E = hc/λ = E₄ - E₂

hc/λ = E₄ - E₂

by putting values,

6.63×10⁻³⁴Js × 3×10⁸m/s / λ = -0.85ev   - (-3.4ev )

6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js× 3×10⁸m/s / λ = 2.55 ev

λ = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js× 3×10⁸m/s  /2.55ev

λ = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js× 3×10⁸m/s  /2.55× 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ J

λ = 19.89 ×10⁻²⁶ Jm / 2.55× 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ J

λ = 19.89 ×10⁻²⁶ Jm / 4.08×10⁻¹⁹ J

λ = 4.87×10⁻⁷ m

m to nm:

4.87×10⁻⁷ m ×10⁹nm/1 m

4.87×10² nm

Frequency:

Frequency = speed of electron / wavelength

by putting values,

Frequency = 3×10⁸m/s /4.87×10⁻⁷ m

Frequency = 6.16 ×10¹⁴ s⁻¹

s⁻¹ = Hz

Frequency = 6.16 ×10¹⁴ Hz

How many grams of material is lost in the aqueous phase if two extractions are carried out on 100 mL of a 5% (m/v) aqueous solut
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

4.94g of material

Explanation:

Partition coefficient (Kp) of a substance is defined as the ratio between concentration of organic solution and aqueous solution, that is:

Kp = <em>8 = Concentration in Ethyl acetate / Concentration in water</em>

100mL of a 5% solution contains 5g of material in 100mL of water. Thus:

8 = X / 100mL / (5g-X) / 100mL

<em>Where X is the amount of material in grams that comes to the organic phase.</em>

8 = X / 100mL / (5g-X) / 100mL

8 = 100X / (500-100X)

4000 - 800X = 100X

4000 = 900X

4.44g = X

<em>Thus, in the first extraction you will lost 4.44g of material from the aqueous phase.</em>

And will remain 5g-4.44g = 0.56g.

In the second extraction:

8 = X / 100mL / (0.56g-X) / 100mL

8 = 100X / (56-100X)

448 - 800X = 100X

448 = 900X

0.50g = X

<em>In the second extraction, you will extract 0.50g of material</em>

Thus, after the two extraction you will lost:

4.44g + 0.50g = <em>4.94g of material</em>

<em></em>
