Why is potassium and sodium considered as reactive metals?

2 answers:

4 0

As potassium is larger than sodium, potassium's valence electron is at a greater distance from the attractive nucleus and is so removed more easily than sodium's valence electron. As it is removed more easily, it requires less energy, and can be said to be more reactive.
Hopefully this helps you! Have a great day!

Answer:

because they are found freely in nature uncombined so they are highly reactive with other elements

Draw Graph for the derivation of three equations of Motion

Over [174]

Answer:

Hey mate I shall not tell you the answer I shall explain it to you after this if still you can't understand then say

Explanation:

Derive v = u + at by Graphical Method. Consider the velocity – time graph of a body shown in the below Figure

Derive s = ut + (1/2) at2 by Graphical Method. Velocity so time graph to derive the equations of motion.

Derive v2 = u2 + 2as by Graphical Method. Velocity–Time graph to derive the equations of motion.

I hope you understand now

enjoy your day

The downsprue leading into the runner of a certain mold has a length of 175 mm. The cross-sectional area at the base of the spru

adoni [48]

Answer:

(a) Velocity at bottom is 1.85 m/s

(b) Volume flow rate is 7.4 x 10⁻⁴ m³/s.

Explanation:

(a)

Applying Bernoulli's Equation on both ends of the down sprue, with the assumptions that every point is at atmospheric pressure and the liquid metal at the pouring basin is at zero velocity. The equation then becomes:

V = √2gh

where,

V = velocity at bottom of down sprue

h = height of down sprue = 175 mm = 0.175 m

V = √2(9.8 m/s²)(0.175 m)

V = 1.85 m/s

(b)

The volume flow rate is given as:

Volume Flow Rate = (V)(A)

where,

V = velocity at bottom = 1.85 m/s

A = Area of bottom = 400 mm² = 0.0004 m²

Therefore,

Volume Flow Rate = (1.85 m/s)(0.0004 m²)

Volume Flow Rate = 7.4 x 10⁻⁴ m³/s = 740 cm³/s

(c)

The time required to fill the cavity is given as:

Volume Flow Rate = V/t

where,

V = Volume of mold Cavity = 0.001 m³

t = time required to fill the cavity = ?

Therefore,

t = V/Volume Flow Rate

t = 0.001 m³/7.4 x 10⁻⁴ m³/s

t = 1.35 s
