1. Magnesium atoms also have a slightly smaller radius than sodium atoms, and so the delocalised electrons are closer to the nuclei.
2. Sodium has higher melting point than potassium because of stronger metallic bonding .
3. Potassium are very soft metal can be very easily cut with a knife
4. Increase of resistance in metals. Therefore the mobility of electrons decreases and causes decrease in conductivity.
5.To increase strength, increase corrosion resistance, or reduce costs.
6. All metals have low ionization energies and are relatively electropositive, and so they lose electrons fairly easily.
7. All the group 1 metals are reactive, but they get more reactive as you go down the group, so potassium is more reactive than sodium.

What is the change in internal energy (ΔΕ) of a system when 5 kJ of work is done on the system while it releases 13 kJ of energy

meriva

The change in internal energy (ΔΕ) of a system : -8 kJ

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The laws of thermodynamics 1 state that: energy can be changed but cannot be destroyed or created

The equation is:

$\tt \Delta U=Q+W$

Energy owned by the system is expressed as internal energy (U)

This internal energy can change if it absorbs heat Q (U> 0), or releases heat (U <0). Or the internal energy can change if the system does work or accepts work (W)

The sign rules for heat and work are set as follows:

• The system receives heat, Q +

• The system releases heat, Q -

• The system does work, W -

• the system accepts work, W +

5 kJ of work is done on the system : W = +5 kJ

releases 13 kJ of energy to the surroundings : Q = -13 kJ

$\tt \Delta E=-13+5=-8~kJ$

A voltaic cell has a zinc anode and a copper cathode. They are connected by a wire but no salt bridge. What can you predict will

Allisa [31]

The prediction is that B. The electrons will flow to the zinc anode where a negative charge will build up and eventually halt the reaction.

This is known as a chemical element, of the periodic table, that is essential to life and is one of the most widely used metals. Zinc is of considerable commercial importance.

Without the salt bridge, positive and negative charges will build up around the electrodes causing the reaction to stop.

Hence, we know that the purpose of the salt bridge is to keep the solutions electrically neutral and allow the free flow of ions from one cell to another.
