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

Chemistry

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

Consider the chemical equation. CuCl2 + 2NaNO3 mc023-1.jpg Cu(NO3)2 + 2NaCl What is the percent yield of NaCl if 31.0 g of CuCl2
lana [24]
CuCl2 + 2NaNO3 ---->  Cu(NO3)2 + 2NaCl

using molar masses:-
Theoretical yields:-
63.54 + 2(35.45) g  of CuCl2  produces  2(22.98 + 35.45) g of NaCl
    134.44  g .................................................... 116.86 g
       31.0 g ....................................................31.0 * 116.86 /134.44=26.95g  
 
 So percentage yield is 21.2* 100 / 26.95    =  78.7%  to nearest tenth

The reaction of hydrogen and iodine to produce hydrogen iodide has a Kc of 54.3 at 703 K. Given the initial concentrations of H2
pentagon [3]

Answer:

[HI] = 0.7126 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Kc = 54.3

Temperature = 703 K

Initial concentration of H2 and I2 = 0.453 M

Step 2: the balanced equation

H2 + I2 ⇆ 2HI

Step 3: The initial concentration

[H2] = 0.453 M

[I2] = 0.453 M

[HI] = 0 M

Step 4: The concentration at equilibrium

[H2] = 0.453 - X

[I2] = 0.453 - X

[HI] = 2X

Step 5: Calculate Kc

Kc = [Hi]² / [H2][I2]

54.3 = 4x² / (0.453 - X(0.453-X)

X = 0.3563

[H2] = 0.453 - 0.3563 = 0.0967 M

[I2] = 0.453 - 0.3563 = 0.0967 M

[HI] = 2X = 2*0.3563 = 0.7126 M

Describe the overall enthalpy of the chemical reactants compared to the enthalpy of the chemical products in the combustion of p
Veronika [31]

Answer:

A thermochemical equation for the combustion of propane (C3H8)(C3H8) is written as follows:

C3H8(l)+5O2(g)→3CO2(g)+4H2O(g);ΔH∘rxnC3H8(l)+5O2(g)→3CO2(g)+4H2O(g);ΔHrxn∘ = -2202.0 kJ/mol

The value given for ΔH∘rxnΔHrxn∘ means that:

a. the reaction of one mole of propane absorbs 2202 kJ of energy from the surroundings.

b. the reaction is endothermic.

c. the enthalpy of formation of propane is 2202 kJ/mol.

d. the reaction of one mole of propane releases 2202 kJ of energy to the surroundings.

e. None of these.
