SEP Construct an Explanation What properties of lithium, sodium, and magnesium make these elements good ones to use in the anode

s of batteries? (Hint: Think about where they are located on the periodic table.) Which of these three has been most commonly used in batteries so far, and for what two reasons?

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Lithium, sodium, and magnesium are metals found towards the left hand side in the periodic table. They are highly electropostive and have highly negative reduction potentials. The reduction potentials of the metals are listed below;

Li -3.04 V

Na -2.71 V

Mg -2.37 V

These metals easily loose electrons making them highly preferable for use as the anode of batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries are the most commonly used types of battery. This is because the reduction potential of Li is very negative hence it looses electrons easily and current starts flowing.

Secondly, Lithium-ion batteries are easily rechargeable compared to those of sodium and magnesium.

An example of a homogeneous mixture is 1. oil and vinegar dressing. 2. concrete. 3. a mixture of salt and pepper. 4. salt water
Sidana [21]

A mixture in which composition is constant throughout the mixture is said to be homogeneous mixture.

Now, oil and vinegar dressing is not considered as a homogeneous mixture because composition is not uniform.

Concrete is made up of three components. Thus, composition is not uniform, so it is not a homogeneous mixture.

A mixture of salt and pepper, when salt is mixed in pepper then the mixture is not uniform as white flecks of salt and black flecks of pepper can be seen in the mixture. Thus, it is not a homogeneous mixture.

Salt water is uniform mixture. Thus,  it is a homogeneous mixture.

Thus, salt water is the correct answer.

Fermium-253 is a radioactive isotope of fermium that has a half-life of 3.0 days. A scientist obtained a sample that contained 2
Dahasolnce [82]

Problem 2

You start out with 216 ugrams of Fermium - 253. After 3 days, you will have 1/2 as much. 108 ugrams is what you have.

Another 3 days goes by. You started with 108 ugrams. That gets cut in 1/2 again. Now you have 54 ugrams.

Finally another 3 days goes by. You started with 54 ugrams. you now have 1/2 as much which would be 27 ugrams

#days              Amount in micrograms

0                              216

3                               108

6                                54

9                                27

Problem One

You are using Nitrogen as your base example. The first thing you should do is fill in the table. Then you should try and make some rules. You need the rules in case the exam you are preparing for picks a different element to talk about these bond tendencies. In any event, it's handy to think this way.

<em><u>Table</u></em>

Bond               Energy Kj/Mol               Bond Length pico meters

N - N                 167                                                145

N=N                  418                                                125

N≡N                  942                                               110

<em><u>Rules</u></em>

As the number of bonds INCREASES, the energy contained in the bond goes UP

As the number of bonds INCREASES, the length of the bond goes DOWN.
