Answer:
Francium is hypothesized to be the most reactive metal, but so little of it exists or can be synthesized, and the longest half-life of its most abundant isotope is
22.00
minutes, so that its reactivity cannot be determined experimentally.
Explanation:
Francium is an alkali metal in group 1/IA. All alkali metals have one valence electron. As you go down the group, the number of electron energy levels increases – lithium has two, sodium has three, etc..., as indicated by the period number. The result is that the outermost electron gets further from the nucleus. The attraction from the positive nucleus to the negative electron is less. This makes it easier to remove the electron and makes the atom more reactive.
Experimentally speaking, cesium (caesium) is the most reactive metal.
Answer:
7.37 mL of KOH
Explanation:
So here we have the following chemical formula ( already balanced ), as HNO3 reacts with KOH to form the products KNO3 and H2O. As you can tell, this is a double replacement reaction,
HNO3 + KOH → KNO3 + H2O
Step 1 : The moles of HNO3 here can be calculated through the given molar mass ( 0.140 M HNO3 ) and the mL of this nitric acid. Of course the molar mass is given by mol / L, so we would have to convert mL to L.
Mol of NHO3 = 0.140 M
30 / 1000 L = 0.140 M
0.03 L = .0042 mol
Step 2 : We can now convert the moles of HNO3 to moles of KOH through dimensional analysis,
0.0042 mol HNO2
( 1 mol KOH / 1 mol HNO2 ) = 0.0042 mol KOH
From the formula we can see that there is 1 mole of KOH present per 1 moles of HNO2, in a 1 : 1 ratio. As expected the number of moles of each should be the same,
Step 3 : Now we can calculate the volume of KOH knowing it's moles, and molar mass ( 0.570 M ).
Volume of KOH = 0.0042 mol
( 1 L / 0.570 mol )
( 1000 mL / 1 L ) = 7.37 mL of KOH
Atom is the
most basic unit of matter. They are the general term used to describe pieces of
matter. But a different kind of atom makes up an element. A combination of atom of different elements
creates a molecule. For example, you have water; it has a chemical formula of
H2O. If you separate H from O, you have two atoms. Two atoms for hydrogen and
one atom for oxygen. However, they are of different elements. And when you
combine them to form H2O, you create a molecule.
