Explanation:

All the elements of group 1 in the periodic table are known as alkali metals. These are lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), caesium (Cs), and francium (fr).

Characteristics of alkali metals are as follows.

Alkali metals are soft and can be cut with a knife.
They are good conductors of heat and electricity.
They have only 1 electron in their outermost sub-shell.
They are very reactive.
Alkali metals are ionic in nature.

What is the difference between a substance and mixture ?

snow_lady [41]

Explanation:

Matter can be categorized into substances and mixtures.

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies spaces.

Substances are distinct matter with the following properties:

All parts are the same throughout i.e homogeneous
Their composition is definite
They cannot be easily separated or broken down into simpler substances by physical means
Separation by physical means is not easy
They have a unique set of physical properties.

Mixtures have the following properties:

Their composition is indefinite i.e they consist of two or more elements and/or compounds in any proportion by mass
Their constituents retains their identity
They can easily be separated by physical means
They have a broad range of physical properties.

Calculate the mass of nitric acid required to make a 250mL solution with 2.40 ph

meriva

The mass of nitric acid required to make the given solution is 0.0627 g.

The given parameters:

Volume of the acid, V = 250 mL
pH of the acid, = 2.4

The hydrogen ion (H⁺) concentration of the nitric acid is calculated as follows;

$H^+ = 10^{-pH}\\\\H^+ = 10^{-2.4}\\\\H^+ = 0.00398$

The molarity of the nitric acid is calculated as follows;

$= 0.00398 \ H^+ \times \frac{1 \ M \ HNO_3}{1 \ H^+} \\\\= 0.00398 \ M$

The number of moles of the nitric acid is calculated as follows;

$moles = M\times L\\\\moles = 0.00398\ M \ \times \ \frac{250 \ mL}{1000} \\\\moles = 9.95 \times 10^{-4} \ mol.$

The molar mass of nitric acid is calculated as;

$HNO_3 = (1) \ + (14) \ + (16 \times 3) = 63 \ g/mol$

The mass of the nitric acid contained in the calculated number of moles is calculated as;

$mass = moles\ \times \ molar \ mass\\\\mass = 9.95\times 10^{-4} \ mol. \ \times \ 63 \ g/mol\\\\mass = 0.0627 \ g$

Thus, the mass of nitric acid required to make the given solution is 0.0627 g.

Why potasium more reactive than lithium and sodium

frez [133]

So potassium is more reactive than lithium because the outer electron of a potassium atom is further from its nucleus than the outer electron of a lithium atom. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.

What’s the difference between Nuclear Chemistry and Organic Chemistry? And what are similarities?

Aleksandr [31]

Nuclear chemistry is the subfield of chemistry dealing with radioactivity, nuclear processes, such as nuclear transmutation, and nuclear properties.

It is the chemistry of radioactive elements such as the actinides, radium and radon together with the chemistry associated with equipment (such as nuclear reactors) which are designed to perform nuclear processes. This includes the corrosion of surfaces and the behavior under conditions of both normal and abnormal operation (such as during an accident). An important area is the behavior of objects and materials after being placed into a nuclear wastestorage or disposal site.

It includes the study of the chemical effects resulting from the absorption of radiation within living animals, plants, and other materials. The radiation chemistry controls much of radiation biology as radiation has an effect on living things at the molecular scale, to explain it another way the radiation alters the biochemicals within an organism, the alteration of the biomolecules then changes the chemistry which occurs within the organism, this change in chemistry then can lead to a biological outcome. As a result, nuclear chemistry greatly assists the understanding of medical treatments (such as cancerradiotherapy) and has enabled these treatments to improve.

It includes the study of the production and use of radioactive sources for a range of processes. These include radiotherapy in medical applications; the use of radioactive tracers within industry, science and the environment; and the use of radiation to modify materials such as polymers.[1]

It also includes the study and use of nuclear processes in non-radioactive areas of human activity. For instance, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is commonly used in synthetic organic chemistry and physical chemistry and for structural analysis in macromolecular chemistry.
