Why is an alkali metal element like sodium (Na) so reactive?

1 answer:

3 0

Alkali metals are known for being some of the most reactive metals. This is due in part to their larger atomic radii and low ionization energies. They tend to donate their electrons in reactions and often have an oxidation state of +1. These metals are characterized as being extre

To what temperature must a sample of nitrogen at 27°C and 0.625 atm be taken so that it’s pressure becomes 1.125 atm at constant

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

The sample of nitrogen must be taken to 267 $^{0}\textrm{C}$ .

Explanation:

Let's assume nitrogen gas behaves ideally.

Here amount of nitrogen gas in both states remain constant.

So, in accordance with combined gas law for a given amount of an ideal gas in two different states: $\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}$

where $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ are initial and final pressure respectively. $V_{1}$ and $V_{2}$ are initial and final volume respectively. $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ are initial and final temperature (in kelvin scale) respectively.
