Give three chemical and physical properties of potassium, sodium,lithium

1 answer:

5 0

Because they are in group 1 of the periodic table (alkali metals), they all have the same properties. They each are malleable, good conductors of electricity, highly reactive, and have low melting points.

Explain why uranium must be enriched to be used in a nuclear power plant.

galben [10]

Answer:

The nuclear fuel used in a nuclear reactor needs to have a higher concentration of the U 235 isotope than that which exists in natural uranium ore. U235 when concentrated (or "enriched") is fissionable in light-water reactors (the most common reactor design in the USA).

Construct a three-step synthesis of trans-2-pentene from acetylene by dragging the appropriate formulas into the bins. Note that

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

The three-step synthesis of trans-2-pentene from acetylene is as follows.

Step -1: Formation of higher order terminal alkyne on reaction with sodium acetylides with haloalkanes.

Step -2: Formation terminal alkyne to nonterminal alkynes.

Step -3: Formation of trans-pent - 2-pent-ene by reduction.

Explanation:

Synthesis of trans-pent-2-yne from ethyne takes place is mainly a three step synthesis which involves formation of higher order terminal alkyne on reaction with sodium acetylides with haloalkane. Second step involves the further alkylation of terminal alkynes to higher order nonterminal alkynes and the third step involves the formation of trans-2-ene by dissolving reduction method.

The chemical reaction of each step of chemical reactions is as follows.
