Answer:

- They are highly reactive metals

- They have low electro negativity

- They have low ionization energy

- They don't exist alone in nature

- They have low densities

Explanation:

Alkali metals are the elements in group 1 of the periodic table. They include Sodium, Lithium, Potassium e.t.c.

Due to the fact they have one atom in their outermost shell, they are very unstable because they easily react with other elements and are therefore don't exist alone in nature but combined with other elements for this same reason.

Since alkali metals don't easily attract other elements due to it's lone pair in the outer most shell, it can be said to have low electro negativity.

Also, they don't need energy to discharge their electrons since they are highly reactive due to their lone pair in the outermost shell and so we say they have low ionization energy.

Due to this reason, they also have low densities.

A balloon has a volume of 3.0 L at room temperature (27oC). At what temperature would the balloon have a volume of 4.0L?
diamong [38]

Answer: 400K

Explanation:

Given that,

Original volume of balloon V1 = 3.0L

Original temperature of balloonT1 = 27°C

Convert the temperature in Celsius to Kelvin

(27°C + 273 = 300K)

New volume of balloon V2 = 4.0L

New temperature of balloon T2 = ?

Since volume and temperature are given while pressure is constant, apply the formula for Charle's law

V1/T1 = V2/T2

3.0L/300K = 4.0L/T2

To get the value of T2, cross multiply

3.0L x T2 = 4.0L x 300K

3.0LT2 = 1200LK

Divide both sides by 3.0L

3.0LT2/3.0L = 1200LK/3.0L

T2 = 400K

Thus, at a temperature of 400 Kelvin, the balloon would have a volume of 4.0L.

Write the balanced neutralization reaction that occurs between H2SO4 and KOH in aqueous solution. Phases are optional. neutraliz
madreJ [45]

Answer:

0.197 M

Explanation:

The reaction equation is:

H2SO4(aq) +2KOH(aq) ----> K2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)

number of moles of H2SO4 = 0.25 L * 0.45 M = 0.1125 moles

number of moles of KOH = 0.2 L * 0.24 M = 0.048 moles

since H2SO4 is the reactant in excess;

2 moles of KOH reacts with 1 mole of H2SO4

0.048 moles of KOH reacts with 0.048 * 1/2 = 0.024 moles of H2SO4

Amount of excess H2SO4 left unreacted = 0.1125 - 0.024 = 0.0885 moles

Total volume = 0.25 L+ 0.2 L = 0.45 L

concentration of H2SO4 = 0.0885/0.45 = 0.197 M
