Answer:

Potassium

Explanation:

In group one of the periodic table both the melting and the boiling points usually decrease down the group.

Now, down the group, it's lithium that comes first, then sodium, then potassium.

Thus, among the 3, potassium is furthermost down the group by virtue of the factor it has the highest atomic number.

Therefore, we can say that potassium has the lowest boiling point among the 3.

If the solubility of KCl in 100 mL of H₂O is 34 g at 20 °C and 43 g at 50 °C, label each of the following solutions as unsaturat

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

a) Unsaturated

b) Supersaturated

c) Unsaturated

Explanation:

A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of a solute that will dissolve in a given solvent at a specific temperature.

An unsaturated solution contains less solute than it has the capacity to dissolve.

A supersaturated solution, contains more solute than is present in a saturated solution. Supersaturated solutions are not very stable. In time, some of the solute will come out of a supersaturated solution as crystals.

According to these definitions and considering that the solubility of KCl in 100 mL of H₂O at 20 °C is 34 g, and at 50 °C is 43 g we can label the solutions:

a) 30 g in 100 mL of H₂O at 20 °C ⇒ unsaturated

b) 65 g in 100 mL of H₂O at 50 °C ⇒ supersaturated

c) 42 g in 100 mL of H₂O at 50 °C and slowly cooling to 20 °C to give a clear solution with no precipitate ⇒ unsaturated (if it were saturated it would have had precipitate)

Answer: Combustion

Explanation:

Methane gas or natural gas is the hydrocarbon that reacts with oxygen as shown below: CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O There are two types of combustion reactions: complete and incomplete combustion. Therefore there are four products, carbon dioxide, water, carbon, and carbon monoxide.
