Odor extensive or intensive

The answer is: K is more reactive than Ca because K has to lose only one electron to complete its outermost shell.

Potassium is a chemical element with atomic number 19 (number of electrons is 19).

Electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉K 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

Potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

Periodic law is the arrangement of the elements in order of increasing atomic number.

For example all alkaline metals (I group of periodic table, Na, K, Cs...) loose one electron in chemical reaction and react vigorously with water.

Reactivity series is an empirical progression of a series of metals, arranged by their reactivity from highest to lowest (alkaline metals have highest reactivity and Noble metals lowest reactivity).

The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).

Alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons (one electron, earth alkaline metals (right next to alkaline metals) have higher ionization energy than alkaline metals, because they have two valence electrons.

A 50.00 g sample of an unknown metal is heated to 45.00°C. It is then placed in a coffee-cup calorimeter filled with water. The

Taking into account the definition of calorimetry, the specific heat of metal is 0.165 $\frac{cal}{gC}$ .

<h3>Definition of calorimetry</h3>

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

Sensible heat is defined as the amount of heat that a body absorbs or releases without any changes in its physical state (phase change).

So, the equation that allows to calculate heat exchanges is:

Q = c× m× ΔT

where:

Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m.
C is the specific heat substance.
ΔT is the temperature variation.

<h3>Specific heat capacity of the metal</h3>

In this case, you know:

For metal:

Mass of metal = 50 g
Initial temperature of metal= 45 °C
Final temperature of metal= 11.08 ºC
Specific heat of metal= ?

For water:

Mass of water = 250 g
Initial temperature of water= 10 ºC
Final temperature of water= 11.08 ºC
Specific heat of water = 1.035 $\frac{cal}{gC}$

Replacing in the expression to calculate heat exchanges:

For metal: Qmetal= Specific heat of metal× 50 g× (11.08 C - 45 C)

For water: Qwater= 1.035 $\frac{cal}{gC}$ × 250 g× (11.08 C - 10 C)

If two isolated bodies or systems exchange energy in the form of heat, the quantity received by one of them is equal to the quantity transferred by the other body. That is, the total energy exchanged remains constant, it is conserved.

Then, the heat that the gold gives up will be equal to the heat that the water receives. Therefore:

- Qmetal = + Qwater

- Specific heat of metal× 50 g× (11.08 C - 45 C)= 1.035 $\frac{cal}{gC}$ × 250 g× (11.08 C - 10 C)

Solving:

- Specific heat of metal× 50 g× (-33.92 C)= 1.035 $\frac{cal}{gC}$ × 250 g× 1.08 C

Specific heat of metal× 1696 g×C= 279.45 cal

Specific heat of metal= $\frac{279.45 cal}{1696 gC}$
