<span>The metal that would more easily lose an electron would be potassium. It is more reactive than sodium. Also, looking on the periodic table, </span><span>from top to bottom for groups 1 and 2, reactivity increases. So, it should be potassium. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
Answer:
Approximately 
, assuming that this acid is monoprotic.
Explanation:
Assume that this acid is monoprotic. Let 
denote this acid.
.
Initial concentration of without any dissociation:
![[{\rm HA}] = 0.730\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%7B%5Crm%20HA%7D%5D%20%3D%200.730%5C%3B%20%5Crm%20mol%20%5Ccdot%20L%5E%7B-1%7D)
.
After 
of that was dissociated, the concentration of both 
and 
(conjugate base of this acid) would become:
.
Concentration of in the solution after dissociation:
.
Let ![[{\rm HA}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%7B%5Crm%20HA%7D%5D)
, ![[{\rm H}^{+}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%7B%5Crm%20H%7D%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D)
, and ![[{\rm A}^{-}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%7B%5Crm%20A%7D%5E%7B-%7D%5D)
denote the concentration (in 
or 
) of the corresponding species at equilibrium. Calculate the acid dissociation constant 
for , under the assumption that this acid is monoprotic:
![\begin{aligned}K_{\rm a} &= \frac{[{\rm H}^{+}] \cdot [{\rm A}^{-}]}{[{\rm HA}]} \\ &= \frac{(0.09125\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}) \times (0.09125\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1})}{0.63875\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}}\\[0.5em]&\approx 1.30 \times 10^{-2} \end{aligned}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Baligned%7DK_%7B%5Crm%20a%7D%20%26%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%5B%7B%5Crm%20H%7D%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%20%5Ccdot%20%5B%7B%5Crm%20A%7D%5E%7B-%7D%5D%7D%7B%5B%7B%5Crm%20HA%7D%5D%7D%20%5C%5C%20%26%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%280.09125%5C%3B%20%5Crm%20mol%20%5Ccdot%20L%5E%7B-1%7D%29%20%5Ctimes%20%280.09125%5C%3B%20%5Crm%20mol%20%5Ccdot%20L%5E%7B-1%7D%29%7D%7B0.63875%5C%3B%20%5Crm%20mol%20%5Ccdot%20L%5E%7B-1%7D%7D%5C%5C%5B0.5em%5D%26%5Capprox%201.30%20%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-2%7D%20%5Cend%7Baligned%7D)
.
Electrons absorb energy, as they absorb energy they go from ground state to excited state and to return to ground state electrons release energy in the form of photons producing that color.
