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 formula is used to calculate the yield of a reaction.
frosja888 [35]
<span>The theoretical yield for a reaction is calculated based on the limiting reagent. This allows researchers to determine how much product can actually be formed based on the reagents present at the beginning of the reaction.</span> <span>The actual yield will never be 100 percent due to limitations.</span>

write the net ionic equation (including phases) that corresponds to Cu(ClO4)2(aq) + Na2CO3(aq)--------&gt;CaCO3(s) + 2NaClO4(aq)
soldier1979 [14.2K]
Complete ionic:
Cu(aq) + 2Cl(aq) + 8O(aq) + 2Na(aq) + C(aq) + 3O(aq) = CaCO3(s) + 2Na(aq) + Cl(aq) + 4O(aq) 

Net ionic:

Cu(aq) + Cl(aq) + 4O(aq) + 2Na(aq) + C(aq) + 3O(aq) = CaCO3(s) 

So write everything out as IF it will dissociate in water. So everything that is aq splits but solid just floats to the bottom of the mixture. Cancel what you can (in this case the two from the ClO4 on the left of the equation cancels with the ClO4 from the right) and the 2Na cancels. Then, write out the whole solution and you are done!

If 16.4 grams of calcium nitrate is heated as shown in the reaction:
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

7.2

Explanation:

you first have to find the number of moles of nitrogen dioxide by using the number of moles for calcium nitrate and the mole to mole ratios

number of moles of calcium nitrate=mass/mm

=16.4/102

=0.16g/mol

then you use the mole to mole ratios

2 : 4

0.16: x

2x/2=0.64/2

x=0.32g/moles of nitrogen dioxide

then you use the formula for the volume

v=22.4n

=22.4×0.32

=7.2

I hope this helps

What is the mole to mole ratio of LiOH to HBr for the following reaction?
umka21 [38]

Explanation:

so moles = mass ÷ mr (1+ 79.9)

so 10.00g ÷ 80.9

which is 0.1236093943

so to 3 S.F is 0.124 moles

also there is 1 to 1 ratio for LiOH to HBr

hope this helps :)
