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.

Assuming constant pressure, rank these reactions from most energy released by the system to most energy absorbed by the system,
givi [52]

Answer: The order from the Most energy released to most Energy   Absorbed Is given as  2---> 4--->,3-->---> 1 

B)-61.9 kJ

Explanation:

The change in the internal energy of a system  is positive if the reaction absorbs energy and  negative if the reaction releases energy. For a system to cause an increase in volume, it must have very high energy built up to be released.

1. Surroundings get colder and the system decreases in volume. Here, the surrounding absorbs energy  resulting in positive  ΔE

2. Surroundings get hotter and the system expands in volume.  Here energy is released causing the system to be negative

3. Surroundings get hotter and the system decreases in volume. Although there is a decreased volume, the system is negative because it releases energy

4. Surroundings get hotter and the system does not change in volume.  System is negative because it releases energy even thgoygh there is no change in volume

Therefore the order from the Most energy released to most Energy   Absorbed Is given as  2---> 4--->,3-->---> 1

b) Using  

 ΔE = q+ w     from 1st law of thermodynamics

 ΔE=  ΔH - P  ΔV

gIven  

 ΔH = -75.0KJ

volume=  A change  from 5.0L TO 2.0L = Final volume - initial volume = 2-5= -3.00L

P= 43.0atm

ΔE=  ΔH - P  ΔV

P  ΔV  = 43 atm x -3 = -129L.atm

We first convert  L-atm to Joules.

1 L-atm = 101.325 Joules.  

129L.atm = 129 x 101.325 = - 13071 J

to KJ becomes

13071/1000 = - 13.071KJ

Recall ΔE=  ΔH - P  ΔV and putting values

ΔE  = -75.0 - (-13.071 KJ)= -75.0 kJ + 13.071 kJ = -61.9 kJ

What is the ratio of the areas of the signals in the h nmr spectrum of pentan-3-ol?
Damm [24]

The ratio of the areas of the signals in the h NMR spectrum of pentan-3-ol is 6: 4: 1: 1. The correct option is A.

<h3>What is a NMR spectrum?</h3>

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a spectroscopy that shows the detailed structure and chemical environment of a chemical element.

Pentan-3-ol contain 12 hydrogen atoms. In H-NMR spectra, hydrogen atoms have same environment gives a signal.

There are 4 different kinds of signals due of the 4 different environment experienced by these 12 hydrogens.

Thus, the  ratio of the areas of the signals in the h NMR spectrum of pentan-3-ol is 6: 4: 1: 1. The correct option is A.

An atom which has 9 protons, 8 neutrons, and 9 electrons will have an atomic mass of how many amu?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Protons and Neutrons both have a mass of about 1 amu so you add them but electrons have a mass of 0 amu so they are left out.
