Answer:
Explanation:
(a) Firstly, caesium abd potassium are both in Group 1 of the periodic table. Group 1 metals (also called alkali metals) are the most reactive metals of the periodic table. Caesium is more reactive than Potassium because it has a higher electropositivity than Potassium. Electropositivity is the tendency of a metal to donate electron(s) to form a cation. Electropositivity increases down the group; this is because it is easier for atoms to loose electrons on the outermost shell that are far away from the central nucleus as against atoms whose outermost electrons are closer to the central nucleus. <u>Thus, the more "bulky" an atom is, the farther it's outermost electrons (valence electrons) get from the central nucleus and the easier it is to lose the outermost electron(s). And the easier it is for the valence electron(s) to be removed, the more reactive the atom would be and vice-versa.</u>
Caesium is more reactive than potassium because it is more bulky than potassium, with an atomic number of 55, while potassium has an atomic number of 19.
NOTE: The closer an electron is to the nucleus, the more difficult it is to be removed from it's shell.
(b) i. Formula for Caesium Nitrate:
Symbol for Caesium is Cs and Nitrate is NO₃⁻.
Cs⁺ + NO₃⁻ ↔ CsNO₃
Formula for Caesium Nitrate is CsNO₃
ii. Formula for Caesium sulphate
Symbol for caesium is Cs and Sulphate is SO₄²⁻
Cs⁺ + SO₄²⁻ ↔ Cs₂SO₄
Formula for Caesium sulphate is Cs₂SO₄
NOTE: When writing the formulae, the charges would be exchanged to form the subscript as seen on the product sides above.
Answer:
a) 300K
b) 373K
c) 273K
Explanation:
to go from °C to K all you have to do is add 273.
Ethane can be turned into its carboxylic acid form called the ethanoic acid by a series of steps. First chlirinate it in the presence of light. Then, add potassium hydroxide to get an alcohol. Finally, adding KMnO4 to oxidize it to a carboxylic acid. The equations are as follows:
C2H6 + Cl2 ---> C2H5Cl + HCl
C2H5Cl+KOH-> C2H5OH+ KCl.
C2H5OH ----KMnO4 ---> CH3COOH.
but u have a good person to talk about that is a bit of an act like I swear to God that
