How many alkali metals will combine with 1 oxygen family member

Chemistry
1 answer:
Daniel [21]3 years ago
7 0
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.

KatRina [158]

Answer:

D. VISCOSITY can be defined as a substance's ability to resist flow.

Explanation:

This is the statement that correctly describe the term viscosity. Viscosity explains why substances or fluids resist flow. It shows that internal friction or resistance to flow revealed by a substance. A substance with high viscosity or internal friction resist flow and one with low viscosity flow easily. Viscosity of a substance change base on various factors affecting the substance such as pressure, temperature, surface area. Substances like water has low viscosity explaining why it flows easily.

What mass of iron is formed when 10 grams of carbon react with 80 grams of iron iii oxide?
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

55.85 grams of Fe is formed.

Explanation:

Identify the reaction:

2Fe₂O₃  +  3C  →  4Fe  +  3CO₂

Identify the limiting reactant, previously determine the mol of each reactant

(mass / molar mass)

10 g / 12 g/m = 0.83 moles C

80 g / 159.7 g /m = 0.500 moles Fe₂O₃

2 moles of oxide need 3 moles of C, to react

0.5 moles of oxide, will need ( 0.5  . 3)/ 2 = 0.751 mol

I have 0.83 moles of C, so C is the excess.

The limiting is the oxide.

3 mol of C need 2 mol of oxide to react

0.83 mol of C, will need (0.83  . 2)/ 3 = 0.553 mol of oxide, and I only have 0.5 (That's why Fe₂O₃ is the limiting)

Ratio is 2:4 (double)

If I have 0.5 moles of oxide, I will produce the double, in the reaction.

1 mol of Fe, will be produce so its mass is 55.85 g

Is gin a heterogeneous or homogeneous mixture?
Gelneren [198K]
Gin is uniform throughout and is a homogenous mixture. If it wasn't you would have awful lumps in your drink :). Hope I helped!
