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.
Answer:
Reaction 1: Kc increases
Reaction 2: Kc decreases
Reaction 3: The is no change
Explanation:
Let us consider the following reactions:
Reaction 1: A ⇌ 2B ΔH° = 20.0 kJ/mol
Reaction 2: A + B ⇌ C ΔH° = −5.4 kJ/mol
Reaction 3: 2A⇌ B ΔH° = 0.0 kJ/mol
To predict what will happen when the temperature is raised we need to take into account Le Chatelier Principle: when a system at equilibrium suffers a perturbation, it will shift its equilibrium to counteract such perturbation. This means that <em>if the temperature is raised (perturbation), the system will react to lower the temperature.</em>
Reaction 1 is endothermic (ΔH° > 0). If the temperature is raised the system will favor the forward reaction to absorb heat and lower the temperature, thus increasing the value of Kc.
Reaction 2 is exothermic (ΔH° < 0). If the temperature is raised the system will favor the reverse reaction to absorb heat and lower the temperature, thus decreasing the value of Kc.
Reaction 3 is not endothermic nor exothermic (ΔH° = 0) so an increase in the temperature will have no effect on the equilibrium.
Answer:
all the statements are true of chemical changes
Explanation:
As the charge of all electrons are equal, the repulsive force exerted by each of them is also going to be equal. So, as K has more electrons repulsing its valence electron than Na, it has greater electron shielding.
