Metal X is soft and can be cut with a knife. It reacts vigorously with air and water. Identify metal X-

Chemistry

Answer:

The metal is most likely Sodium.

Explanation:

Iron is not soft enough to be cut with a knife and will not react violently with water.  When Iron reacts with water it just slowly rusts.

Copper is somewhat malleable, however, does not really react with water and only forms an oxide layer in the air.

Sodium is soft enough to be cut with a knife (I know this because I have worked with it and seen people work with it).  It is also an alkali metal which are known to explode when in water.

Gold is malleable but does not really react with anything and is considered inert.

The yield of lithium chloride is 1.92 grams.

Option D.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

In this reaction, we can see that 1 mole of lithium hydroxide reacts with 1 mole of potassium chloride to produce 1 mole of lithium chloride and 1 mole of potassium hydroxide.

Molecular weight of lithium hydroxide is 24.

Molecular weight of lithium chloride is 42.5.

So 24 grams of lithium hydroxide produces 42.5 grams of lithium chloride.

So, 20 grams of lithium hydroxide produces 20 * 24 / 42.5  grams =11. 29 grams of lithium chloride.

But this is when the yield is 100%.

But yield is 17%.

So the yield is 1.92 grams of lithium chloride.

Hello, what’s the difference between oxidation and oxidising agents?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

An oxidising agent oxidises something else. Oxidation is loss of electrons (OIL RIG). That means that an oxidising agent takes electrons from that other substance.

This graph shows two curves pertaining to a hydrogen s orbital.
fgiga [73]

Answer 1) : According to the complete question attached in the answer,

The radial wave function  which is denoted by R_{nl}(r) shown with orange color crosses through zero point. Also, At the the radial nodes, which are spherical shells to some radial distance away from the nucleus there no electron are found.

Also, the radial probability distribution curve denoted as R^{2}_{nl}(r) shown in  blue  color is observed to touch zero, and shows the place of radial node.

Therefore, the total number of nodes will include both the kinds  which has radial and angular nodes which will be represented by <em>'n'</em>.

It is observed that for any atomic orbital, the total number of nodes will be n-1  .


Considering the s orbital of the hydrogen, which has zero angular momentum  (l); (l=0), as it has zero angular nodes.  

Hence, there will be only radial nodes, which is

(n−1  =  total number of radial nodes in s orbitals)

According to the image, there are 4  radial nodes shown, so n  =  5  (as n-1 = 4; therefore, n = 5)

This represents the 5s orbital.


Answer 2) The radial nodes are observed in I'm seeing radial nodes at  

1.9a_{0},  6.4a_{0},13.9a_{0} and  27.0a_{0}.

where  a_{0} represents the  hydorgen bohr atomic radius =  0.0529177 nm


Explanation : It is quite easy to observe the given graph and find out the approximate values of the radial nodes, it does not requires any equation to be solved. Equation can be used to find the radial nodes if it was supplied along with the question. Although by mere speculation one can find out the answer.
