Why does alkali elements react vigorously with water?

Chemistry
1 answer:
HACTEHA [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Because the alkali metal is really willing to give up its electron much more so than Hydrogen.

The redox reaction looks like this

K ===> K+   +    1 e-    The reduction vo is very high which means that the K really does want to give up that electron.

2H+  +2e- ====> H2  The oxidation vo is almost 0 but the Hydrogen is the perfect recipient for the 2 electrons.

Could volume by displacement be used to determine the volume of a lump of rock salt? Explain would be nice
Readme [11.4K]

Yes it could, but you'd have to set up the process very carefully.
I see two major challenges right away:

1).  Displacement of water would not be a wise method, since rock salt
is soluble (dissolves) in water.  So as soon as you start lowering it into
your graduated cylinder full of water, its volume would immediately start
to decrease.  If you lowered it slowly enough, you might even measure
a volume close to zero, and when you pulled the string back out of the
water, there might be nothing left on the end of it.

So you would have to choose some other fluid besides water ... one in
which rock salt doesn't dissolve.  I don't know right now what that could
be.  You'd have to shop around and find one.

2).  Whatever fluid you did choose, it would also have to be less dense
than rock salt.  If it's more dense, then the rock salt just floats in it, and
never goes all the way under.  If that happens, then you have a tough
time measuring the total volume of the lump.

So the displacement method could perhaps be used, in principle, but
it would not be easy.
