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

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

Explanation:

Relation between pressure, latent heat of fusion, and change in volume is as follows.

$\frac{dP}{dT} = \frac{L}{T \times \Delta V}$

Also, $\frac{L}{T} = \Delta S^{fusion}_{m}$

where, $\Delta V^{fusion}_{m}$ is the difference in specific volumes.

Hence, $\frac{dP}{dT} = \frac{\Delta S^{fusion}_{m}}{\Delta V^{fusion}_{m}}$

As, $\Delta S^{fusion}_{m} = \frac{L}{T} = \frac{6010}{273.15}$ = 22.0 J/mol K

And, $\Delta V^{fusion}_{m} = \frac{M}{d_{H_{2}O}} - \frac{M}{d_{ice}}$ ...... (1)

where, $d_{H_{2}O}$ = density of water

$d_{ice}$ = density of ice

M = molar mass of water = $18.02 \times 10^{-3} kg$

Therefore, using formula in equation (1) we will calculate the volume of fusion as follows.

$\Delta V^{fusion}_{m} = \frac{M}{d_{H_{2}O}} - \frac{M}{d_{ice}}$

= $\frac{18.02 \times 10^{-3}}{997} - \frac{18.02 \times 10^{-3}}{920}$

= $-1.51 \times 10^{-6}$

Therefore, calculate the required pressure as follows.

$\frac{dP}{dT} = \frac{22}{-1.51 \times 10^{-6}}$

= $1.45 \times 10^{7} Pa/K$

or, = 145 bar/K

Hence, for change of 1 degree pressure the decrease is 145 bar and for 4.7 degree change dP = $145 \times 4.7 bar$

= 681.5 bar

Thus, we can conclude that pressure should be increased by 681.5 bar to cause 4.7 degree change in melting point.
