Answer: K and Na

Explanation:

Potassium and Sodium have a chemical symbol of K and Na respectively.

They have similar chemical properties because both

- have only one valence electron,

- form univalent positive ion when they donate their lone outermost electron as shown below

Na --> Na+ + e-

K --> K+ + e-

- are good reducing agents

- react with cold water vigorously to liberate hydrogen gas and form alkalis, so they are known as alkali metals.

- K and Na are placed in Group 1 of the periodic table.

Thus, unlike the other pairs given, K and Na, have the most similar chemical properties

How many grams would 3.36 × 1023 molecules of copper (II) sulfate (CuSO4) weigh?

Semenov [28]

Molar mass ( CuSO₄) = 159.609 g/mol

159.609 g ----------------- 6.02 x 10²³ molecules
? g ------------------ 3.36 x 10²³ molecules

mass = ( 3.36 x10²³) x 159.609 / 6.02 x 10²³

mass = 5.36 x 10²⁴ / 6.02 x 10²³

mass = 8.90 g

hope this helps!

If 20.0 g of NaOH is added to 0.750 L of 1.00 M Cd(NO₃)₂, how many grams of Cd(OH)₂ will be formed in the following precipitatio

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

$m_{Cd(OH)_2}=36.6 gCd(OH)_2$

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, for the given chemical reaction, in order to compute the grams of cadmium hydroxide that would be yielded, we must first identify the limiting reactant by computing the yielded moles of that same product, by 20.0 grams of NaOH (molar mass = 40 g/mol) and by 0.750 L of the 1.00-M solution of cadmium nitrate as shown below considering the 1:2:1 mole ratios respectively:

$n_{Cd(OH)_2}^{by\ NaOH}=20.0gNaOH*\frac{1molNaOH}{40gNaOH} *\frac{1molCd(OH)_2}{2molNaOH} =0.25molCd(OH)_2\\\\n_{Cd(OH)_2}^{by\ Cd(NO_3)_2}=0.750L*1.00\frac{molCd(NO_3)_2}{L}*\frac{1molCd(OH)_2}{1molCd(NO_3)_2} =0.75molCd(OH)_2$

Thus, since 20.0 grams of NaOH yielded less of moles of cadmium hydroxide, NaOH is the limiting reactant, therefore the mass of cadmium hydroxide (molar mass = 146.4 g/mol) is:

$m_{Cd(OH)_2}=0.25molCd(OH)_2*\frac{146.4gCd(OH)_2}{1molCd(OH)_2} \\\\m_{Cd(OH)_2}=36.6 gCd(OH)_2$

Best regards.
