Describe the properties of alkali metals. Based on their electronic arrangement, explain whether they exist alone in nature.

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

- They are highly reactive metals

- They have low electro negativity

- They have low ionization energy

- They don't exist alone in nature

- They have low densities

Explanation:

Alkali metals are the elements in group 1 of the periodic table. They include Sodium, Lithium, Potassium e.t.c.

Due to the fact they have one atom in their outermost shell, they are very unstable because they easily react with other elements and are therefore don't exist alone in nature but combined with other elements for this same reason.

Since alkali metals don't easily attract other elements due to it's lone pair in the outer most shell, it can be said to have low electro negativity.

Also, they don't need energy to discharge their electrons since they are highly reactive due to their lone pair in the outermost shell and so we say they have low ionization energy.

Due to this reason, they also have low densities.

At 2°C, the vapor pressure of pure water is 23.76 mmHg and that of a certain seawater sample is 23.09 mmHg. Assuming that seawat

wariber [46]

Answer:

0.808 M

Explanation:

Using Raoult's Law

$\frac{P_s}{Pi}= x_i$

where:

$P_s$ = vapor pressure of sea water( solution) = 23.09 mmHg

$P_i$ = vapor pressure of pure water (solute) = 23.76 mmHg

$x_i$ = mole fraction of water

∴

$\frac{23.09}{23.76}= x_i$

$x_i = 0.9718$

$x_i+x_2=1$

$x_2 = 1- x_i$

$x_2 = 1- 0.9718$

$x_2 = 0.0282$

$x_i = \frac{n_i}{n_i+n_2}$ ------ equation (1)

$x_2 = \frac{n_2}{n_i+n_2}$ ------ equation (2)

where; $(n_2) =$ number of moles of sea water

$(n_i) =$ number of moles of pure water

equating above equation 1 and 2; we have :

$\frac{n_2}{n_i}$ $= \frac{0.0282}{0.9178}$

$= 0.02901$

NOW, Molarity = $\frac{moles of sea water}{mass of pure water }*1000$

$= \frac{0.02901}{18}*1000$

$= 0.001616*1000$

$= 1.616 M$

As we assume that the sea water contains only NaCl, if NaCl dissociates to Na⁺ and Cl⁻; we have $\frac{1.616}{2} =0.808 M$

How are the following aspects of a reaction affected by the addition of a catalyst? 1) activation energy of the reverse reaction

snow_tiger [21]

These are four questions and four answers.

Answers:

1) activation energy of the reverse reaction

b. Decreased

2) Rate of the forward reaction

a. Increased

3) Rate of the reverse reaction

a. Increased

4) Activation energy of the forward reaction

b. decreased

Explanation:

Activarion energy is the energy required by the reactants to form the intermediate transition state and become products.

Catalysts are substances that change the path of the chemical reactions, lowering the activation energy, and thus speeding up the rate of the reactions, since the products can reach the new lower activation energy faster.

The equilibrium reactions are the chemical process in which two reactions, the forward and the reverese reactions, occur simultaneously and at the same rate. The equlibrium reactions may be represented by:

A ⇄ B

Where A → B is the direct or forward reaction, and A ← B is the reverse reaction (note the inversed arrow, from right to left).

For the direct reaction A represents the reactants and B represents the products. On the other hand, B represents the reactants and A represents the reactants of the reverse reaction and A. This, is A is the reactant of the forward reaction and the product of the reverse reaction, while B is the reactant of the reverse reaction and the product of the forward reaction.

Since, the addition of a catalyst lowers the activation energy of the process, the new activation energy is lower for both the forward and the reverse reaction, meaning that:

1. The activation energy of the reverse reaction is decreased (option b. of the first question)

2. The rate of the forward reaction is increased (option a. of the second question)

3. The rate of the reverse reaction is increased (option a. of the third question).

4. Activation energy of the forward reaction is decreased (option b. of the fourth question).

In summary, the addition of a catalyst decreases the activation energy for both forward and reverse reactions, and increases the rate of both forward and reverse reactions.
