Answer:
1. Increase in the temperature of the water
2. Increasing the surface area of the lithium
Explanation:
1. Increase in the temperature of the water
The activation energy for the lithium water reaction is +161 kJ/mol while the activation energy for the sodium is +109 kJ/mol, hence for increased reaction rate, the water temperature will be raised to enable more lithium atoms enter into reaction with the water molecules as their energy is increased lowering the activation energy required for the reaction.
2. Increasing the surface area of the lithium
As the lithium floats on the water, due to its low temperature and the heat evolved from the reaction of lithium with the cold water is below the melting point of lithium, the reaction rate can be increased by increasing the surface area of lithium sample by grinding so as to increase the number of lithium water reaction sites.
Answer:Calcium atoms have smaller radii than potassium atoms since calcium atoms have a greater nuclear charge.
Explanation:
Answer is: 18 moles of lead(II)-nitrate.
Balanced chemical reaction:
3Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2AlCl₃ → 2Al(NO₃)₃ + 3PbCl₂.
n(Al(NO₃)₃) = 12 mol.
From chemical reaction: nAl(NO₃)₃) : n(Pb(NO₃)₂) = 2 : 3.
n(Pb(NO₃)₂) = 3 · 12 mol ÷ 2.
n(Pb(NO₃)₂) = 18 mol; amount of substance.
Al(NO₃)₃ is aluminium nitrate.
AlCl₃ is aluminium chloride.
