What do Potassium and Krypton have in common and what are their differences based on their location on the periodic table?

1 answer:

8 0

Potassium (K) and Krypton (Kr) are in the same period, so they have the same number of electron shells. Potassium is more reactive than Krypton because it only has one valence electron.

K and Kr are both in Period 4, so they each have the n = 1, 2, 3, and 4 shells. Kr is less reactive than K because it already has a complete octet.

“Potassium (K) and Krypton (Kr) are in the same period, so they have the same number of electron shells. Krypton is more reactive than Potassium because it has a full outer shell” is incorrect because having a full outer shell means that the element is unreactive.

“Potassium (K) and Krypton (Kr) are in the same group, so they have the same number of valence electrons. They have different numbers of electron shells” is incorrect for three reasons:

1. K is in Group 1 and Kr is in Group 18.

2. K has one valence electron, and Kr has eight valence electrons.

3. They have the same number of electron shells.

1. K and Kr have different numbers of valence electrons.

2. They have the same number of electron shells.

Answer:

Standard Heat of Reaction 1 = -136.2 kJ/mol

Standard Heat of Reaction 2 = -41.166 kJ/mol

Standard Heat of Reaction 3 = -136.07 kJ/mol

Standard Heat of Reaction 4 = 279.448kJ/mol

Explanation:

C₂H₄ (g) + H₂ (g) → C₂H₆ (g)

CO (g) + H₂O (g) → H₂ (g) + CO₂ (g)

3NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → 2HNO₃ (aq) + NO (g)

Cr₂O₃ (s) + 3CO (g) → 2Cr (s) + 3CO₂ (g)

The required standard heat of formation for each of the reactants and product above, as obtained from literature is listed below.

C₂H₄ (g), 52.5 kJ/mol

H₂ (g), 0 kJ/mol

C₂H₆ (g), -83.7 kJ/mol

CO (g), -110.525 kJ/mol

H₂O (g), -241.818 kJ/mol

H₂ (g), 0 kJ/mol

CO₂ (g), -393.509 kJ/mol

NO₂ (g), 33.2 kJ/mol

H₂O (l), -285.8 kJ/mol

HNO₃ (aq), -206.28 kJ/mol

NO (g), 90.29 kJ/mol

Cr₂O₃ (s), -1128.4 kJ/mol

CO (g), -110.525 kJ/mol

Cr (s), 0 kJ/mol

CO₂ (g), -393.509 kJ/mol
