The alkali metals are so reactive that they are never found in nature in elemental form. Although some of their ores are abundant, isolating them from their ores is somewhat difficult. For these reasons, the group 1 elements were unknown until the early 19th century, when Sir Humphry Davy first prepared sodium (Na) and potassium (K) by passing an electric current through molten alkalis. (The ashes produced by the combustion of wood are largely composed of potassium and sodium carbonate.) Lithium (Li) was discovered 10 years later when the Swedish chemist Johan Arfwedson was studying the composition of a new Brazilian mineral. Cesium (Cs) and rubidium (Rb) were not discovered until the 1860s, when Robert Bunsen conducted a systematic search for new elements. Known to chemistry students as the inventor of the Bunsen burner, Bunsen’s spectroscopic studies of ores showed sky blue and deep red emission lines that he attributed to two new elements, Cs and Rb, respectively. Francium (Fr) is found in only trace amounts in nature, so our knowledge of its chemistry is limited. All the isotopes of Fr have very short half-lives, in contrast to the other elements in group 1.
Answer:
Waves carry energy from place to place.
Explanation:
Some waves are used for mainly communication and phone signals. They help people get internet in the middle of nowhere if you are near an energy wave.
Answer:
89.4%
Explanation:
Initially, there is 5.0 of the acetanilide in 100 mL of water, then the solution is chilled at 0ºC. The solubility represents the amount that the solvent (water) can dissolve of the solute (acetanilide). So, at 0ºC, 100 mL of water can dissolve till 0.53 g of the compound, the rest will precipitate and will be recovered.
So, the mass that is recovered is 5.0 - 0.53 = 4.47 g
The percent recovery is:
(4.47/5)x100% = 89.4%
