Answer:

The alkaline-earth metals tend to lose two electrons to form M 2+ ions (Be2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and so on). These metals are less reactive than the neighboring alkali metal. Magnesium is less active than sodium; calcium is less active than potassium; and so on. These metals become more active as we go down the column.

Answer: According to the reactivity of metals Sodium is the second metal while Magneesium is the fourth metal. The metal in the top of the reactivity serise table are more reactive.

(The series obtained by the arrangement of metals in the decending oder of their reactivity is the REACTIVITY SERIES TABLE)

Explanation:

Na

Mg

Therefore Sodium is more reactive than Magnesium

The copper(I) ion forms a chloride salt (CuCl) that has Ksp = 1.2 x 10-6. Copper(I) also forms a complex ion with Cl-:Cu+ (aq) +

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer: (a) The solubility of CuCl in pure water is $1.1 \times 10^{-3} M$ .

(b) The solubility of CuCl in 0.1 M NaCl is $9.5 \times 10^{-3} M$ .

Explanation:

(a) Chemical equation for the given reaction in pure water is as follows.

$CuCl(s) \rightarrow Cu^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq)$

Initial: 0 0

Change: +x +x

Equilibm: x x

$K_{sp} = 1.2 \times 10^{-6}$

And, equilibrium expression is as follows.

$K_{sp} = [Cu^{+}][Cl^{-}]$

$1.2 \times 10^{-6} = x \times x$

x = $1.1 \times 10^{-3} M$

Hence, the solubility of CuCl in pure water is $1.1 \times 10^{-3} M$ .

(b) When NaCl is 0.1 M,

$CuCl(s) \rightarrow Cu^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq)$ , $K_{sp} = 1.2 \times 10^{-6}$

$Cu^{+}(aq) + 2Cl^{-}(aq) \rightleftharpoons CuCl_{2}(aq)$ , $K = 8.7 \times 10^{4}$

Net equation: $CuCl(s) + Cl^{-}(aq) \rightarrow CuCl_{2}(aq)$

$K' = K_{sp} \times K$

= 0.1044

So for, $CuCl(s) + Cl^{-}(aq) \rightarrow CuCl_{2}(aq)$

Initial: 0.1 0

Change: -x +x

Equilibm: 0.1 - x x

Now, the equilibrium expression is as follows.

K' = $\frac{CuCl_{2}}{Cl^{-}}$

0.1044 = $\frac{x}{0.1 - x}$

x = $9.5 \times 10^{-3} M$

Therefore, the solubility of CuCl in 0.1 M NaCl is $9.5 \times 10^{-3} M$ .

What's the deffinition of igneous rock

Aliun [14]

Igneous rocks are those rocks that were formed through cooling and solidifying the molten materials. The best example for igneous rock is solid volcanic java. Lava are liquid that comes from a volcano, but once it is dried and solidify, it becomes a rock and called igneous rock.
Another example is the granite and basalt. And according to research igneous rock comes from the latin word ignis which means fire. Thus this says it all. From a liquid becomes a rock.

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

The answer is C. The partial pressure of hydrogen will be unchanged.

Explanation:

$CO_{(g)} + 2H_{2(g)}$ ⇒ $CH_{3}OH$

Argon with electronic configuration $1s^{2}$ $2s^{2}$ $2p^{6}$ $3s^{2}$ $3p^{6}$ (that is atomic number 18) is an inert gas making it unreactive and it's addition to the reaction has no effect on the partial pressure of either the reactant or production or the state of the system.

The partial pressure of hydrogen will remain unchanged on the addition of Argon.
