Potassium is not found free in nature but is found in the form of potash. Potash is the ore of potassium and this ore is mined from deep down the earth or can sometimes be found on the surface. Potash was mostly formed as sea water receded and left deposits.
Potash is usually in the form of potassium salts such potassium chloride and potassium sulphate. The potash is mined then taken to the factory where it is crushed and purified by removing such impurities as clay.
The now purified potassium salts are subjected to a process called electrolysis where potassium metal is obtained from its salt.
Answer:
See attachment.
Explanation:
In the first step, a cyclic structure with a positive bromine is formed. The bromine shares the positive charge with the two carbons that it is bonded to, so the carbons are partially positive.
The second bromine atom then attacks the carbon center, coming in from below the first bromine atom ("backside attack") where the antibonding orbital of the second bromine atom is.
The stereochemistry of the mechanism causes the final product to be an anti-dibromocyclohexane.
Answer:
Energy was released when the sodium and hydroxide ions formed new bonds with the water.
Explanation:
First, we convert the depth of the water into meters. This is:
60 feet = 18.3 meters
Now, we compute the additional pressure exerted due to the water, which is given by:
Pressure = density * gravitational field strength * height
P = 1000 * 9.81 * 18.3
P = 179.5 kPa
The atmosphere pressure is 101.325 kPa
The pressure of the gas bubbles 60 feet under water will be:
179.5 + 101.325 = 280.825 kPa
The pressure at the surface of the water will be equal to the atmospheric pressure, 101.325 kPa.
Because of this decrease in external pressure as gas bubbles rise, they are seen to expand.
Answer: -
A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the chemical reaction. In the first experiment it took 32 minutes for all the magnesium to react.
In the next it took 54 minutes for all the magnesium to react. So the reaction was slower the second time.
Thus a catalyst was not used.
Powdering up the Magnesium would mean increasing the surface area. More the surface area faster the reaction. Since the reaction is slowing down,
Magnesium was not powdered
If the temperature was decreased then kinetic energy would decrease of the reactant molecules and the reaction would slow down due to less number of collisions between reactant moleules.
So the temperature was decreased is a correct option.
