Answer:

Explanation:

If the reaction is really exothermic (and it is) then the water would spatter all over the place. It would boil off if the container could hold it. It would also react according to the following reaction.

You are talking about a reaction like

2K + 2HOH = 2KOH + H2

Use the periodic table and example bond table to answer the question.
lyudmila [28]

In keeping with the general trends, K-Br will have the smallest bond energy. The bond energy refers to the energy that keeps the atoms in a bond together.

<h3>What is bond energy?</h3>

Bond energy is the energy that is required to hold atoms together in a bond. This energy must also be supplied when the atoms are to be separated.

We have the bond energies of each of the bons in the question, we have to note that the the smallest value of bond energy is Na-Br hence in keeping with the general trends, K-Br will have the smallest bond energy.

When the temperature of the air is 25°C, the velocity of a sound wave traveling through the air is approximately
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer ; The correct answer is : 346 m/s .

Sound is a type of longitudinal wave , which is produced when a matter compress or refracts .

Speed of sounds depends on factors like medium , density , temperature etc .

Effect of Temperature on speed of sounds :

When the temperature increases , molecules gains energy and they starts vibrating and with higher temperature vibration becomes fast . So the waves of sounds can travel faster due to faster vibrations . Hence , speed of sounds is directly proportional to the temperature or speed of sounds increases with increase in temperature .

The speed of sounds at 0⁰C is 331 \frac{m}{s}

The relation between speed of sound and temperature is given as :

V = 331 \frac{m}{s}  + ( 0.6 \frac{m}{s- ^0C} * T  )

Given : Temperature = 25 ⁰ C

Plugging values in formula =>

V = 331 \frac{m}{s} + (0.6 \frac{m}{s-^0C}  * 25^0C)

V = 331 \frac{m}{s} + 15 \frac{m}{s}

V =  346 \frac{m}{s}
