Lithium, sodium and potassium are all in group 1 of the periodic table. Which of these has the lowest boiling point?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kvv77 [185]3 years ago
5 0

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.

1. What is the density of a 20 gram of 40 ml liquid?
____ [38]

Answer:

1. 0.5 g/mL

2. 0.88 g/cm^3

3. It has the greatest mass to volume ratio

4. Incomplete

5. H^+ (aq)+OH^-(aq)\rightleftharpoons H_2O (l)

6. 1

7. Gloves, goggles, coat, mask

8. Flush with tap water for at least 15 minutes

9. The facts are listed below

10. Mass and volume

12. All matter consists of moving particles, the degree of their movement is directly proportional to their kinetic energy

Explanation:

1. In order to solve for density, we should know that density is the ratio between mass and volume of a liquid. In this case, we're given both measures: given mass of m = 20 g and volume of V = 40 mL, we may simply apply the equation of density described here:

d=\frac{m}{V}

Substituting the variables, we obtain:

d=\frac{m}{V}=\frac{20 g}{40 mL}=0.5 g/mL

2. Given a mixture of several liquids, it's important to understand that liquids with a greater density will tend to form a bottom layer of a solution, while liquids with a lower density will tend to form a top layer of a solution. Here we have a liquid with a density of d_1 = 1.0 g/cm^3 and another liquid with a density of d_2 = 0.88 g/cm^3. Notice that d_1 > d_2.

This implies that the liquid with a density of 0.88 g/cm^3 would be on top, as its density is lower than the density of the other liquid with a density of 1.0 g/cm^3.

3. The solid phase is not always, but typically denser than liquids or gases. There are some exceptions to this rule, for example, ice, a solid phase of water, is less dense than liquid water.

However, for the majority of cases this statement is true. Remember that solid phases are the most ordered phases with atoms being packed closely to each other. In liquids, atoms are more dispersed with distances between them being greater than those in solids. Similarly, gases have the greatest distances between gas atoms among all three phases.

Since density is directly proportional to mass, let's say we take the same volume of a solid, a liquid and a gas. For the same volume, since we'll have a greater number of solid atoms than for a liquid or a gas (because solid atoms are more closely packed with lower average distances between the atoms), the mass to volume ratio will be the greatest for solids.

4. This seems to be an incomplete question.

5. In order to balance the following ionic equation, we need to follow the mass and charge balancing rules. Firstly, expand a water molecule showing the individual parts of it:

H-OH

Secondly, notice that we need to add a hydroxide anion to the proton, so that we obtain the same number of protons and hydroxide anions on the left side, as well as the number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms on the right. This way, the net charge on the left hand side (0) and the net charge on the right hand side (0) are equal, so the charge is balanced as well. We obtain:

H^+ (aq)+OH^-(aq)\rightleftharpoons H_2O (l)

6. We should be familiar with the ionization constant of water in the context of this problem. It is defined as the product between the hydronium ions and hydroxide ions and is a constant number at some given temperature. For pure water, the concentration of hydronium ions is balanced by the concentration of hydroxide anions to yield a neutral pH value, meaning the ratio of one with respect to the other would be 1.

For example, at room temperature, the ionization constant of water is defined as:

K_w=[H^+][OH^-]=10^{-14}

Since we have pure water:

[H^+]=[OH^-]=\sqrt{10^{-14}}=10^{-7}

Then the ratio is:

[tex]\frac{[H^+]}{[OH^-]}=\frac{10^{-7}}{10^{-7}}=1

What happens to Earth when it is farthest from the sun?
Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Earth is closest to the Sun, or at the perihelion, about 2 weeks after the December Solstice, when it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Conversely, the Earth is farthest away from the Sun, at the aphelion point, 2 weeks after the June Solstice, when the Northern Hemisphere is enjoying warm summer months.

Therefore, most countries might have two or four seasons.

<em>hope this helps.</em>

Why sodium chloride is a poor conductor of electricity in solid state?​
aev [14]

Answer:

Because the electrons in this ionic compound arent free to move and so cannot carry charge. For an iconic compound to conduct electricity it must be a liquid, either in a molten form or dissolved in water.

1- What do greenhouse gases do in our atmosphere? a. They absorb radiation given off by the Earth b They block harmful radiation
zavuch27 [327]

Answer: A. They absorb radiation given off by the earth.

Explanation: Green house gases are gases that have the capability of trapping the heat energy from the sun in our environment. These special attribute of these gases is what keeps our environment warm and sustain life as we know it. Example of Green House Gases include: carbon dioxide, water vapour and methane.
