Suggest why sodium wasn’t produced until the early 19th century.

Chemistry

AlexFokin [52]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The reason is that sodium attaches itself very strongly to other elements. Its compounds are very difficult to break apartand also because it is so reactive.

1. When an acid reacts with a base, what compounds are formed? (1 point) a salt only water only metal oxides only a salt and wat
scoundrel [369]

Answer: 1) only a salt and water

An acid and base reacts together to undergo neutralization to form salt and water.

HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O

where HCl is an acid and NaOH is a base to form salt (NaCl) and water (H_2O).

Answer: 2) The formula of the hydrogen ion is often written as H^+.

All acids dissociate in water to give  H^+ ions.

Answer: 3) Arrhenius acids are substances that ionizes to yield protons in aqueous solution.

HCl\rightarrow H^++Cl^-

Arrhenius bases are substance that ionizes to yield hydroxide ions in aqueous solution.

NaOH\rightarrow Na^++OH^-

Answer: 4) A conjugate acid base pair  transfers hydrogen ion.

CH_3COO^-+H_2O\rightarrow CH_3COOH+H_3O^+

Here CH_3COO^- accepts a proton and thus act as a base and the corresponding CH_3COOH is its conjugate acid.

Answer: 5) Bronsted Lowry acid is a substance that donates protons.  Bronsted Lowry base is a substance that accepts protons.

NH_4^+ and NH_3

NH_3+H^+\rightarrow NH_4^+

NH_3 is a acid which accepts proton and thus acts as base to form conjugate acid NH_4^+.

Why do reactivity increases on moving from top to bottom in group 2 of modern periodic table?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

that's because....

group 1 (e.g Na, K) those tend to lose one electron to gain noble gas electron configuration.

they can achieve that by just losing one electron from their outer shell.

as you go down the group 1, element gets bigger in size, which means there is more space between nucleus (which is in center of atom) and electron of outer shell. the more far away they are the less attraction force between them.

so its easier for potassuim to lose one electron than for lithuim.

so that means potassium will easily give up 1 electron to react with non metal or other element therefore it is more reactive than lithuim

but in case of non metal, the opposite happens but simple to understand.

as you go down the group 7 (halogen- Cl, Br, I) element will get bigger therefore force between nucleus and outer electron is getting smaller. they have to gain 1 electron in order to fill the outer shell (to gain noble gas electron configuration.)

as florine is more smaller in size than clorine it is more reactive because florine has more tendency to pull extra electron from metal or other element towards its side. so it easily gain 1 electron to react.

What metalloid has commonly been used as an insecticide due<br> to its effectiveness as a poison.
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Arsenic.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since insecticides are substances that act as poisons to get rid of insects in order to prevent their presence and/or reproduction in houses, companies, crops and others, a substance that has been widely used is the metalloid arsenic due to its direct affection of the insect's body (movement, performance, cellular functions).

In addition, high levels of arsenic in food could cause arsenic poisoning in humans as well, that is why such practice must be properly performed and by using the correct security protocol.

Best regards!
