The alkali metals are so reactive that they are never found in nature in elemental form. Although some of their ores are abundant, isolating them from their ores is somewhat difficult. For these reasons, the group 1 elements were unknown until the early 19th century, when Sir Humphry Davy first prepared sodium (Na) and potassium (K) by passing an electric current through molten alkalis. (The ashes produced by the combustion of wood are largely composed of potassium and sodium carbonate.) Lithium (Li) was discovered 10 years later when the Swedish chemist Johan Arfwedson was studying the composition of a new Brazilian mineral. Cesium (Cs) and rubidium (Rb) were not discovered until the 1860s, when Robert Bunsen conducted a systematic search for new elements. Known to chemistry students as the inventor of the Bunsen burner, Bunsen’s spectroscopic studies of ores showed sky blue and deep red emission lines that he attributed to two new elements, Cs and Rb, respectively. Francium (Fr) is found in only trace amounts in nature, so our knowledge of its chemistry is limited. All the isotopes of Fr have very short half-lives, in contrast to the other elements in group 1.
Use PV =nRT
so P = nRT/V
= 1 mole(0.08205 L atm/K mol)(1000K) / 2 L
= 41 atm
Answer: The energy transferred is known as kinetic energy, and it depends on the mass and speed achieved.
Answer:
Double replacement reaction
Explanation:
Now, let us first write the reaction equation properly:
H₂SO₄ + 2KOH ⇒ K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
The above reaction is a neutralization reaction between an acid and a base whose product gives salt and water only at most instances.
From here, we can observe that the species displaces on another in their ionic state. Hydrogen replaces potassium and water is produced. Potassium combines chemically with sulfate ions to give the salt of potassium.
Answer: 40 + 2x14 + 6x16 = 164g/mole
54.3g x [1mole / 164g] = 0.331moles
355mL x 1L / 1000mL = 0.355L
molarity = 0.331moles / 0.355L =
00
