What is the ion symbol for Lithium?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Bond [772]3 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.

Explain why different liquids boil at the different temperatures
Gennadij [26K]

The boiling point of the fluid depends on the intermolecular forces between the fluid atoms and molécules, as these forces must be disrupted to switch from a fluid to a gas. The stronger the intermolecular forces, the greater the point of boiling.

Suppose you are provided with a 30.86 g sample of potassium chlorate to perform this experiment. What is the mass of oxygen you
oee [108]

Answer:

The mass of oxygen is 12.10 g.

Explanation:

The decomposition reaction of potassium chlorate is the following:

2KClO₃(s) → 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)

We need to find the number of moles of KClO₃:

\eta_{KClO_{3}} = \frac{m}{M}

Where:

m: is the mass = 30.86 g

M: is the molar mass = 122.55 g/mol

\eta_{KClO_{3}} = \frac{30.86 g}{122.55 g/mol} = 0.252 moles                                      

Now, we can find the number of moles of O₂ knowing that the ratio between KClO₃ and O₂ is 2:3

\eta_{O_{2}} = \frac{3}{2}*0.252 moles = 0.378 moles

Finally, the mass of O₂ is:

m = 0.378 moles*32 g/mol = 12.10 g

Therefore, the mass of oxygen is 12.10 g.

I hope it helps you!

Select all that apply. Catalysts can save money by essentially lowering the:
k0ka [10]

Answer: Options (a) and (d) are the correct answer.

Explanation:

A catalyst is the substance which helps in increasing the rate of reaction.

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required by reactants to start the reaction. On addition of catalyst, the path of reaction changes because the energy barrier gap reduces and hence, the activation energy also decreases.

In the absence of catalyst, we need to increase the temperature so that reaction can occur quickly.

Whereas on addition of catalyst, there is no need to increase the temperature as the catalyst itself is sufficient to increase the rate of reaction. As a result, temperature should be lowered when there is addition of catalyst in the reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that catalysts can save money by essentially lowering the activation energy and temperature required.
