Why alkali metals easly ionize

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dmitriy789 [7]3 years ago
7 0
Here’s what I found:

It takes very little energy to remove that outermost electron from an alkali metal. Thus, alkali metals easily lose their outermost electron to become a +1 ion. ... In fact, as you go down the 1A column, the first ionization energies get lower and lower, making cesium the most easily ionized element on the periodic table.

So basically it’s because part of what makes alkali metals so reactive is that they have one electron in their outermost electron layer.

write a skeletal equation for the following reaction: An aqueous solution of barium nitrate and an aqueous solution of sodium su
belka [17]

Answer: skeletal equation : Ba(NO_3)_2(aq)+Na_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow NaNO_3(aq)+BaSO_4(s)

The products are sodium nitrate and barium sulphate.

balanced equation :  Ba(NO_3)_2(aq)+Na_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow 2NaNO_3(aq)+BaSO_4(s)

Explanation:

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.  

The skeletal equation is:

Ba(NO_3)_2(aq)+Na_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow NaNO_3(aq)+BaSO_4(s)

The balanced chemical equation is:

Ba(NO_3)_2(aq)+Na_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow 2NaNO_3(aq)+BaSO_4(s)

I need help on 18b. i’m confused on how you would work it.
AfilCa [17]
For a and b, you need to divide it by Avogadro’s number to find the answer.

a. (6.022x10^23)/6.022x10^23 = 1 mole of Ne
b. (3.011x10^23)/6.022x10^23 = 0.5 moles of Mg

For c and d, you’ll use the mass provided divided by the molar mass to find the number of moles.
Pb molar mass = 207.2 g/mol

c. (3.25x10^5)/207.2 = 1.57x10^3 moles of Pb
For d, I can’t tell if is Cu, C or something else but you can follow the steps above to solve the problem.
