What is the ion symbol for Lithium?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Bond [772]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Lithium is an alkali metal. The symbol for lithium element is ‘Li’. It belongs to group 1 of periodic table. Its electronic configuration is 1s2 2s1. It has one valence electron. So it loses one electron to attain stable configuration. Hence the symbol for lithium ion is ‘Li+’.

Explanation:

ithium is a chemical element with the symbol Li and atomic number 3. It is a soft, silvery-white alkali metal. Under standard conditions, it is the lightest metal and the lightest solid element. Like all alkali metals, lithium is highly reactive and flammable, and must be stored in mineral oil. When cut, it exhibits a metallic luster, but moist air corrodes it quickly to a dull silvery gray, then black tarnish. It never occurs freely in nature, but only in compounds, such as pegmatitic minerals, which were once the main source of lithium. Due to its solubility as an ion, it is present in ocean water and is commonly obtained from brines. Lithium metal is isolated electrolytically from a mixture of lithium chloride and potassium chloride.

How many grams of pure naoh must be used to prepare 10.0 l of a solution that has a ph of 13? __________g?
padilas [110]

40 g NaOH. You must use 40 g NaOH to prepare 10.0 L of a solution that has a pH of 13.

<em>Step 1</em>. Calculate the pOH of the solution

pOH = 14.00 – pH = 14.00 -13 = 1

<em>Step 2</em>. Calculate the concentration of NaOH

[NaOH] = [OH^(-)] = 10^(-pOH) mol/L = 10^(-1) mol/L = 0.1 mol/L

<em>Step 3</em>. Calculate the moles of NaOH

Moles of NaOH = 10.0 L solution × (0.1 mol NaOH/1 L solution) = 1 mol NaOH

<em>Step 4</em>. Calculate the mass of NaOH

Mass of NaOH = 1 mol NaOH × (40.00 g NaOH/1 mol NaOH) = 40 g NaOH
