Potassium (K) is in Group I of the periodic table, and elements in the same column (period) are similar. Sodium (Na), or lithium (Li) are similar.
Answer:
Mo(CO)5 is the intermediate in this reaction mechanism.
Explanation:
The reaction mechanism describes the sequence of elementary reactions that must occur to go from reactants to products. Reaction intermediates are formed in one step and then consumed in a later step of the reaction mechanism.
In this reaction mechanism, Mo(CO)5 is the product of 1st reaction and then it is used as a reactant in 2nd reaction. So, Mo(CO)5 is the reaction intermediates.
The overall balanced equation would be,
Mo(CO)6 + P(CH3) ↔ CO + Mo(CO)5 + P(CH3)3
pH decreases as the hydrogen ion concentration increases.
<u>Explanation:</u>
When there is a decrease in pH, that is pH decreases from 6 to 3 then the acidity increases.
That is the pH is between 1 to 7 then it is acidic
When the pH is 7 then it is neutral
When the pH is between 7 to 14 then it is basic
As the H⁺ ion concentration increases, then the pH value decreases, here pH decreases from 6 to 3.
So the concentration of Hydrogen ion increases, pH decreases.
