calcium and strontium are close to one another on thw oeriodic table. what do you know about their ionization energies ,their el
ectron configurations and their charasteristics based on their position in the periodic table?
1 answer:
Both Ca and Sr are in Group 2 of the Periodic Table, with Sr below Ca (see image)..
<em>Ionization energies </em>
They are both metals, so they have relatively <em>low ionization energies</em>.
Sr is below Ca in the Group, so Sr has the lower ionization energy.
<em>Electron configurations </em>
Their electron configurations both end in <em>ns²</em>.
For example, the electron configuration of Ca is [Kr]<em>4s²</em> and that of Sr is [Kr]<em>5s²</em>.
<em>Physical chsrscteristics: </em>
- metallic lustre
- malleable
- ductile
- good conductors of heat and electricity
<em>Chemical characteristics</em>
Both metals react with
• <em>Hydrogen</em> to form hydrides: M + H₂ ⟶ MH₂
• <em>Oxygen</em> to form oxides: 2M + O₂ ⟶ 2MO
• <em>Nitrogen</em> to form nitrides: 3M + N₂ ⟶ M₃N₂
• <em>Halogens</em> to form halides: M + X₂ ⟶ MX₂
• <em>Water</em> to displace hydrogen: M + 2H₂O ⟶ M(OH)₂ + H₂

Answer:
The amount of water converted from liquid to gas with 6,768 joules is approximately 3.035 g
Explanation:
The amount of heat required to convert a given amount of liquid to gas at its boiling point is known as the latent heat of evaporation of the liquid
The latent heat of evaporation of water, Δ ≈ 2,230 J/g
The relationship between the heat supplied, 'Q', and the amount of water in grams, 'm', evaporated is given as follows
Q = m × Δ
Therefore, the amount of water, 'm', converted from liquid to gas at the boiling point temperature (100°C), when Q = 6,768 Joules, is given as follows;
6,768 J = m × 2,230 J/g
∴ m = 6,768 J /(2,230 J/g) ≈ 3.035 g
The amount of water converted from liquid to gas with 6,768 joules = m ≈ 3.035 g.
<u>Answer:</u> The value of is 0.136 and is reactant favored.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Equilibrium constant in terms of concentration is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as
For the chemical reaction between carbon monoxide and hydrogen follows the equation:
The expression for the is given as:
We are given:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
There are 3 conditions:
- When
; the reaction is product favored.
- When
; the reaction is reactant favored.
- When
; the reaction is in equilibrium.
For the given reaction, the value of is less than 1. Thus, the reaction is reactant favored.
Hence, the value of is 0.136 and is reactant favored.
