Why is an alkali metal like Sodium so reactive?

Chemistry
1 answer:
maksim [4K]3 years ago
8 0
The valence electrons determine how reactive an element is, and since Sodium and other alkali metals could easily lose an electron, they become very reactive to be stable.

Match each element to the number of electrons in its valence shell
blondinia [14]

Answer: Be= 2, C =4,  Li = 1 and  B=3

Explanation:

The valence shell can be define as the outermost shell of an atom that contains the valence electrons.

Beryllium (Be), electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2, = 2 electrons in its valence shell.

Carbon (C), electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2 2p2, = 4 electrons in its valence shell.

Lithium (Li), electronic configuration; 1s2 2s1 = 1 electron in its valence shell.

Boron (B) , electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2 2p1 = 3 electron in its valence shell.

An aqueous solution containing 17.5 g of an unknown molecular (nonelectrolyte) compound in 100.0 g of water has a freezing point
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

molar mass = 180.833 g/mol

Explanation:

  • mass sln = mass solute + mass solvent

∴  solute: unknown molecular (nonelectrolyte)

∴ solvent: water

∴ mass solute = 17.5 g

∴ mass solvent =  100.0 g = 0.1 Kg

⇒ mass sln = 117.5 g

freezing point:

  • ΔTc = - Kc×m

∴ ΔTc = -1.8 °C

∴ Kc H2O = 1.86 °C.Kg/mol

∴ m: molality (mol solute/Kg solvent)

⇒ m = ( - 1.8 °C)/( - 1.86 °C.Kg/mol)

⇒ m = 0.9677 mol solute/Kg solvent

  • molar mass (Mw) [=] g/mol

∴ mol solute = ( m )×(Kg solvent)

⇒ mol solute = ( 0.9677 mol/Kg) × ( 0.100 Kg H2O )

⇒ mol solute = 0.09677 mol

⇒ Mw solute = ( 17.5 g ) / ( 0.09677 mol )

⇒ Mw solute = 180.833 g/mol

What is the concentration of Htions at a pH = 11?
Lostsunrise [7]
Answer:
a) 1 x 10^-11 mol/L
b) 1 x 10^-6 mol/L
c) 1 x 10^-5 fewer H+ ions

Explanation

pH stands for Power of Hydrogen, the more acidic a substance is, the more H+ ions it has rendering the substance acidic. a pH of 1 means the concentration of H+ ions is 1 x 10^-1. A pH of 7 means the concentration of H+ ions is 1 x 10^-7 and so on.

10^-11 has 10^-5 more H+ ions than 10^-6

Hope this helps :)
