Why is potassium and sodium considered as reactive metals?​

Leona [35]3 years ago

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

A particle, whose acceleration is constant, is moving in the negative x direction at a speed of 4.91 m/s, and 12.9 s later the p
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The particle’s velocity is -16.9 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity of particle in negative x direction= 4.91 m/s

Time = 12.9 s

Final velocity of particle in positive x direction= 7.12 m/s

Before 12.4 sec,

Velocity of particle in negative x direction= 5.32 m/s

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using equation of motion

v = u+at

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

Where, v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

t = time

Put the value into the equation

a=\dfrac{7.12-(-4.91)}{12.9}

a=0.933\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the initial speed of the particle

Using equation of motion again

v=u+at

u=v-at

Put the value into the formula

u=-5.321-0.933\times12.4

u=-16.9\ m/s

Hence, The particle’s velocity is -16.9 m/s.

In the diagnostic radiology energy range (which includes mammography) from 23 to 150 kVp, which of the following tissues possess
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Bone

Explanation:

Diagnostic radiology include the use of non-invasive imaging scans to diagnose a patient.

The voltages used in diagnostic tubes range from roughly 20 kV to 150 kV and thus the highest energies of the X-ray photons range from roughly 20 keV to 150 keV.

The tests and equipment used sometimes involves low doses of radiation to create highly detailed images of an area.

(a) A load of coal is dropped (straight down) from a bunker into a railroad hopper car of inertia 3.0 × 104 kg coasting at 0.50
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

a) m=20000Kg

b) v=0.214m/s

Explanation:

We will separate the problem in 3 parts, part A when there were no coals on the car, part B when there is 1 coal on the car and part C when there are 2 coals on the car. Inertia is the mass in this case.

For each part, and since the coals are thrown vertically, the horizontal linear momentum p=mv must be conserved, that is, p=m_Av_A=m_Bv_B=m_Cv_C, were each velocity refers to the one of the car (with the eventual coals on it) for each part, and each mass the mass of the car (with the eventual coals on it) also for each part. We will write the mass of the hopper car as m_h, and the mass of the first and second coals as m_1 and m_2 respectively

We start with the transition between parts A and B, so we have:

m_Av_A=m_Bv_B

Which means

m_hv_A=(m_h+m_1)v_B

And since we want the mass of the first coal thrown (m_1) we do:

m_hv_A=m_hv_B+m_1v_B

m_hv_A-m_hv_B=m_1v_B

m_1=\frac{m_hv_A-m_hv_B}{v_B}=\frac{m_h(v_A-v_B)}{v_B}

Substituting values we obtain

m_1=\frac{(3\times10^4Kg)(0.5m/s-0.3m/s)}{0.3m/s}=20000Kg=2\times10^4Kg

For the transition between parts B and C, we can write:

m_Bv_B=m_Cv_C

Which means

(m_h+m_1)v_B=(m_h+m_1+m_2)v_C

Since we want the new final speed of the car (v_C) we do:

v_C=\frac{(m_h+m_1)v_B}{(m_h+m_1+m_2)}

Substituting values we obtain

v_C=\frac{(3\times10^4Kg+2\times10^4Kg)(0.3m/s)}{(3\times10^4Kg+2\times10^4Kg+2\times10^4Kg)}=0.214m/s
