Explain why is sodium less reactive than potassium

Chemistry
1 answer:
leva [86]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

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.

A reaction has a ΔHrxn=54.2 kJ. Calculate the change in entropy for the surroundings (ΔSsurr) for the reaction at 25.0 °C. (Assu
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

b. - 184 J/K

Explanation:

  • ΔSsurr = - ΔH/T....at constant P and T.

∴ ΔHrxn = 54.2 KJ = 54200 J

∴ T = 25°C ≅ 298.15 K

⇒ ΔSsurr = - (54200 J)/(298 K)

⇒ ΔSsurr = - 182 J/K ≅ - 184 J/K

What is the limiting factor in determining the accumulation of siliceous ooze/calcareous ooze, respectively?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

productivity and water depth

Explanation:

The productivity and the depth of water are both equally important as it directly affects the accumulation of biogenic sediments such as the siliceous ooze and calcareous ooze. In the equator and the coastal upwelling areas, and at the site of divergence of oceans, there occurs a high rate and amount of productivity, and these are considered to be the primary productivity.  

The siliceous oozes are a good indicator of extensively high productivity in comparison to the carbonate oozes. The main reason behind this is that the silica can be easily dissolved in the surface water. On the other hand, the carbonates dissolve at a relatively lower ocean water depth, so there requires a high amount of surface productivity in order to allow these siliceous oozes to reach the ocean bottom.

Thus, the water depth and productivity, both are considered as the limiting factor in determining the accumulation of biogenic oozes.

If I add 475mL of water to 75.0mL of a 0.315M NaOH solution, what will the molarity of the diluted solution be?
pantera1 [17]
Answer is: <span>the molarity of the diluted solution 0,043 M.
</span>V(NaOH) = 75 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L = 0,075 L.
c(NaOH) = 0,315 M = 0,315 mol/L.
n(NaOH) = c(NaOH) · V(NaOH).
n(NaOH) = 0,075 L · 0,315 mol/L.
n(NaOH) = 0,023625 mol.
V(solution) = 0,475 L + 0,75 L.
c(solution) = 0,023625 mol ÷ 0,550 L.
c(solution) = 0,043 mol/L.
