The answer is: K is more reactive than Ca because K has to lose only one electron to complete its outermost shell.
Potassium is a chemical element with atomic number 19 (number of electrons is 19).
Electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉K 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.
Potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.
Periodic law is the arrangement of the elements in order of increasing atomic number.
For example all alkaline metals (I group of periodic table, Na, K, Cs...) loose one electron in chemical reaction and react vigorously with water.
Reactivity series is an empirical progression of a series of metals, arranged by their reactivity from highest to lowest (alkaline metals have highest reactivity and Noble metals lowest reactivity).
The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).
Alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons (one electron, earth alkaline metals (right next to alkaline metals) have higher ionization energy than alkaline metals, because they have two valence electrons.
The world's lightest material is carbon aerogel which has a mass of only 0.16 milligram and it is even lighter than aerographite.
Answer:
2.01 M
Explanation:
Step 1: Calculate the moles of acetic acid (HC₂H₃O₂)
The molar mass of acetic acid is 60.05 g/mol. We will use this data to calculate the moles corresponding to 36.2 g of acetic acid.
Step 2: Convert the volume of solution to liters
We will use the relation 1000 mL = 1 L. We assume that the volume of solution is that of water (300 mL)
Step 3: Calculate the molarity of the solution
The molarity is equal to the moles of solute (acetic acid) divided by the liters of solution
The answer is B Solubility Increases
