The alkali metals are so reactive that they are never found in nature in elemental form. Although some of their ores are abundant, isolating them from their ores is somewhat difficult. For these reasons, the group 1 elements were unknown until the early 19th century, when Sir Humphry Davy first prepared sodium (Na) and potassium (K) by passing an electric current through molten alkalis. (The ashes produced by the combustion of wood are largely composed of potassium and sodium carbonate.) Lithium (Li) was discovered 10 years later when the Swedish chemist Johan Arfwedson was studying the composition of a new Brazilian mineral. Cesium (Cs) and rubidium (Rb) were not discovered until the 1860s, when Robert Bunsen conducted a systematic search for new elements. Known to chemistry students as the inventor of the Bunsen burner, Bunsen’s spectroscopic studies of ores showed sky blue and deep red emission lines that he attributed to two new elements, Cs and Rb, respectively. Francium (Fr) is found in only trace amounts in nature, so our knowledge of its chemistry is limited. All the isotopes of Fr have very short half-lives, in contrast to the other elements in group 1.
Answer:
[Ca²⁺] = 1M
[NO₃⁻] = 2M
Explanation:
Calcium nitrate dissociates in water as follows:
Ca(NO₃)₂ ⇒ Ca²⁺ + 2NO₃⁻
The moles of Ca²⁺ can be found using the molar relationship between Ca(NO₃)₂ and Ca²⁺
(0.100mol Ca(NO₃)₂) (Ca²⁺ /Ca(NO₃)₂) = 0.100 mol Ca²⁺
The concentration of Ca²⁺ is then:
[Ca²⁺] = n/V = (0.100mol)/(100.0mL) x (1000ml)/(1L) = 1M
Similarly, moles of NO₃⁻ can be found using the molar relationship between Ca(NO₃)₂ and NO₃⁻:
(0.100mol Ca(NO₃)₂) (2NO₃⁻/Ca(NO₃)₂) = 0.200 mol NO₃⁻
The concentration of NO₃⁻ is then:
[NO₃⁻] = (0.200mol)/(100.0mL) x (1000ml)/(1L) = 2M
Answer:
0.56L
Explanation:
This question requires the Ideal Gas Law: 
where P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume of the gas, n is the number of moles of the gas, R is the Ideal Gas constant, and T is the Temperature of the gas.
Since all of the answer choices are given in units of Liters, it will be convenient to use a value for R that contains "Liters" in its units:
Since the conditions are stated to be STP, we must remember that STP is Standard Temperature Pressure, which means 
and 
Lastly, we must calculate the number of moles of 
there are. Given 0.80g of , we will need to convert with the molar mass of . Noting that there are 2 oxygen atoms, we find the atomic mass of O from the periodic table (16g/mol) and multiply by 2: 
Thus, 
Isolating V in the Ideal Gas Law:
...substituting the known values, and simplifying...
So, 0.80g of would occupy 0.56L at STP.
