Answer:

            Lithium

Explanation:

                  Alkali metals are group of metals which are present in first group of periodic table. As we know atomic number is equal to number of protons contained by a particular element. Therefore, the alkali metals along with there number of protons are listed below;

Alkali Metal                                         Number of Protons

Lithium                                                               3

Sodium                                                             11

Potassium                                                         19

Rubidium                                                         37

Cesium                                                             55

Francium                                                          87

Hence, it is cleared from above table that Lithium is having fewer protons than 10.

Classify the outcomes based on whether they are caused by adding or removing a reactant from a chemical reaction. The rate of th
Mama L [17]

Explanation: To study the outcomes, we will apply Le-Chatelier's principle.

Le-Chatelier's principle states that if there is any disturbance in the conditions of the dynamic equilibrium, the position of equilibrium will counteract the change.

1) The rate of the forward reaction increases.

This will happen when we add the reactant to a chemical reaction. According to Le-Chatelier's principle, by increasing the reactant, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where this effect is minimal. Hence, forward reaction is favored.

2) The rate of the revere reaction increases.

This will happen when we remove the reactant from a chemical reaction. According to Le-Chatelier's principle, by removing the reactant, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where this effect is minimal. Hence, reverse reaction is favored.

3) The concentration of product increases.

This will happen when we add reactants to a chemical reaction. According to  Le-Chatelier's principle, when we increase the concentration of reactants, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where this effect is minimal. Hence, the reaction will be in the forward direction which means that the concentration of product will increase.

4) The concentration of products decreases.

This will happen when we remove reactants from a chemical reaction. According to  Le-Chatelier's principle, when we decrease the concentration of reactants, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where this effect is minimal. Hence, the reaction will be in the reverse direction which means that the concentration of reactants will increase or concentration of products will decrease.

Propane (c3h8) is burned in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. the heat of combustion of propane is -2012 kj/mole. how
Olegator [25]
C_{3} H_{8} + 5 O_{2} ---\ \textgreater \  3CO_{2}  +4H_{2}O    (-2012 \frac{kJ}{mol} )


3 mol                10 mol


C_{3}H_{8} is /excess /reactant

because 3 mol propane require 15 mol oxygen (by reaction)

5 mol oxygen ---1 mol propane, so

10 mol oxygen ---2 mol propane

Only 2 mole propane will be burned,

so 

2012 ( kJ/mol)*2 mol =4024 KJ heat will be given off

Correct answer is number 4.

The molecular weight of a gas that has a density of 5.75 g/l at stp is __________ g/mol.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer : The molecular weight of a gas is, 128.9 g/mole

Explanation : Given,

Density of a gas = 5.75 g/L

First we have to calculate the moles of gas.

At STP,

As, 22.4 liter volume of gas present in 1 mole of gas

So, 1 liter volume of gas present in \frac{1}{22.4}=0.0446 mole of gas

Now we have to calculate the molecular weight of a gas.

Formula used :

\text{Moles of gas}=\frac{\text{Mass of a gas}}{\text{Molecular weight of a gas}}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the molecular weight of a gas.

0.0446mole=\frac{5.75g}{\text{Molecular weight of a gas}}

\text{Molecular weight of a gas}=128.9g/mole

Therefore, the molecular weight of a gas is, 128.9 g/mole
