Alkali Metals (Group 1) elements experience an increase in the vigour of their reaction in water as they go down the group (as the atomic number increase). As such the most reactive Alkali Metal would be FRANCIUM, which is at the base of Group One.

Quite frankly, you do not want Francium to react with water- that's a huge explosion on your hand.

A balloon filled with helium gas occupies 2.50 L at 25°C and 1.00 atm. When released, it rises to an altitude where the temperat

Answer:

8,19 L

Explanation:

The combined gas law is a equation that can be used when the initial and final conditions -pressure,volume,amount of moles,temperature-, of a gas change during a process. It can be written:

$\frac{P1V1}{n1T1}=\frac{P2V2}{n2T2}$

If the amount of the gas remains constant, then n1=n2 and we have:

$\frac{P1V1}{T1}=\frac{P2V2}{T2}$

For the problem we have:

Note: When working with gases is important to use absolute temperature values (°K, °K=°C+273,15):

P1=1 atm, V1=2,5L, T1=25+273,15=298,15°K

P2=0,3 atm, V2=?, T2=20+273,15=293,15°K

$V2=\frac{P1V1T2}{T1P2}=\frac{1atm*2,5L*293,15K}{298,15K*0,3atm}=8,19L$

The new volume of the balloon is 8,19 L.

Compare the evaporation of a contained liquid with that of an uncontained liquid.

vekshin1

Answer: all other conditions equal, the rate evaporation of a contained liquid will be slower than the rate of evaporation of an uncontained liquid.

Justification:

1) The rate of evaporation increases as the surface area of the liquid (relative to the whole content) increases. This is, the greater the surface is the faster the evaporation.

2) That is so because the higher the surface of the liquid the more the number of particles in the liquid that are in contact with the surrounding air and so the more the particles will escape from the liquid to the air (which is what evaporation is).

3) A liquid contained will take the form of the container, so part of the liquid wil remain below the surface, while an uncontained liquid will spread all over the surface and so pratically all the liquid is in contact witht the air surrounding it.

Compare how entropy changes for the following two systems:

postnew [5]

System A undergoes an increase in entropy while system B undergoes a decrease in entropy.

Entropy is the degree of disorderliness of a system. The entropy of a system depends on the number of particles present in the system as well as the state of matter.

Entropy is increased when solid particles dissolve in water because more particles are produced thereby increasing the level of disorderliness in the system.

On the other hand, when vapor is condensed, the degree of disorderliness decreases as gases are converted to liquids.
