Explain why potassium is more reactive than lithium

1 answer:

3 0

Potassium metal is indeed more reactive than lithium metal, because potassium has a more loosely bound valence electron. In direct reactions, potassium reacts more violently than lithium.

What number of cations is present in 1.17g of sodium chloride ?

taurus [48]

Answer:

1.2 × 10^22 atoms.

Explanation:

Firstly, cations refers to the positively charged atom in the ionic compound, which is Na+.

Given the mass of NaCl as 1.17g, the number of moles of NaCl can be calculated this:

Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5

= 58.5g/mol

Mole = mass/molar mass

Mole = 1.17/58.5

Mole = 0.02moles

Using Avagadro's number, 6.022 × 10^23 atoms of Na+ are in 1 mole of NaCl.

In 0.02 moles of NaCl, there are 0.02 × 6.022 × 10^23 of Na+

0.1204 × 10^23 atoms

1.2 × 10^22 atoms of Na+ (cation)

Consider the malate dehydrogenase reaction from the citric acid cycle. Given the listed concentrations, calculate the free energ

Ahat [919]

<u>Answer:</u> The Gibbs free energy of the reaction is 21.32 kJ/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation follows:

$\text{Malate }+NAD^+\rightleftharpoons \text{Oxaloacetate }+NADH$

The equation used to Gibbs free energy of the reaction follows:

$\Delta G=\Delta G^o+RT\ln K_{eq}$

where,

$\Delta G$ = free energy of the reaction

$\Delta G^o$ = standard Gibbs free energy = 29.7 kJ/mol = 29700 J/mol (Conversion factor: 1 kJ = 1000 J)

R = Gas constant = 8.314J/K mol

T = Temperature = $37^oC=[273+37]K=310K$

$K_{eq}$ = Ratio of concentration of products and reactants = $\frac{\text{[Oxaloacetate]}[NADH]}{\text{[Malate]}[NAD^+]}$

$\text{[Oxaloacetate]}=0.130mM$

$[NADH]=2.0\times 10^2mM$

$\text{[Malate]}=1.37mM$

$[NAD^+]=490mM$

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$\Delta G=29700J/mol+(8.314J/K.mol\times 310K\times \ln (\frac{0.130\times 2.0\times 10^2}{1.37\times 490}))\\\\\Delta G=21320.7J/mol=21.32kJ/mol$

Hence, the Gibbs free energy of the reaction is 21.32 kJ/mol

How many atoms of titanium are there in 0.125 mole of each of the following?a. ilmenite, FeTiO3b. titanium(IV) chloridec. Ti2O3d

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

a. 7.528x10²² atoms Ti

b. 7.528x10²² atoms Ti

c. 1.5055x10²³ atoms Ti

d. 2.258x10²³ atoms Ti

Explanation:

Using the molecular formula of the structures, we can determine the moles of titanium in 0.125 moles of each compound. With moles of titanium we can convert these to atoms using Avogadro's number as follows:

a. FeTiO₃: 1 mole of Ti per mole of FeTiO₃.

Moles of Ti are 0.125 moles. Atoms are:

0.125 moles Ti * (6.022x10²³ atoms / 1 mole) =

<h3>7.528x10²² atoms Ti</h3>

b. Titanium (IV) chloride = TiCl₄: 1 mole of Ti per mole of TiCl₄.

Moles of Ti are 0.125 moles. Atoms are:

0.125 moles Ti * (6.022x10²³ atoms / 1 mole) =

<h3>7.528x10²² atoms Ti</h3>

c. Ti₂O₃: 2 moles of Ti per mole of Ti₂O₃.

Moles of Ti are 2*0.125 moles = 0.25 moles. Atoms are:

0.25 moles Ti * (6.022x10²³ atoms / 1 mole) =

<h3>1.5055x10²³ atoms Ti</h3>

a. Ti₃O₅: 3 mole of Ti per mole of Ti₃O₅.

Moles of Ti are 3*0.125 moles = 0.375 moles of Ti. Atoms are:

0.375 moles Ti * (6.022x10²³ atoms / 1 mole) =

<h3>2.258x10²³ atoms Ti</h3>
