Alkali metals have only one valence electron and so have low binding energy to the metallic crystal lattice. ... A lower amount of energy needed to break a bond means a lower melting/boiling point.
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus
Answer:
b) pH = 9.25
Explanation:
- NH4+(aq) + H2O(l) ↔ NH3(aq) + H3O+(aq)
- NH3 + H2O ↔ NH4+ + OH-
- 2 H2O ↔ H3O+ + OH-
⇒ Kb = [ NH4+ ] * [ OH- ] / [ NH3 ] = 1.86 E-5......from literature
mass balance NH4+:
⇒ M NH4+ = [ NH4+ ] - [ OH- ]
∴ [ NH3 ] ≅ M NH4+ = 0.26 M
⇒ Kb = (( 0.26 + [ OH- ] )) * [ OH- ] / 0.26 = 1.86 E-5
⇒ 0.26 [ OH-] + [ OH- ]² = 4.836 E-6
⇒ [ OH- ]² + 0.26 [ OH- ] - 4.836 E-6 = 0
⇒ [ OH- ] = 1.859 E-5 M
⇒ pOH = - Log ( 1.859 E-5 )
⇒ pOH = 4.7305
⇒ pH = 14 - pOH = 9.269
Answer:
energy goes into the chemical and cool downs the surrounding area.
