Answer:

<u>»</u><u> </u><u>Similarities</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

☑ They both react by chemical means, to produce either an element or compound as the end product of the chemical reaction.

• Take an example of Magnesium reacting with cold water:

{ \rm{Mg_{(s)}  + 2H _{2} O _{(l)}  → Mg(OH)_{2(aq)} + H_{2(g)}}}

• If it reacts with steam:

{ \rm{Mg _{(s)}  + H _{2} O_{(l)} → MgO_{(s)} + H_{2(g)}}}

• [ Element: <em>Magnesium</em><em> </em>and Compound: <em>Water</em><em> </em>]

They are both classified under atomic substances cause they are made up of microscopic molecules known as atoms.

☑ They are both formed up by microscopic substances known as atoms.

<u>»</u><u> </u><u>Differences</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

☑ Compounds generally have higher molecular masses than elements.

☑ Compounds are formed through bonding by elements while elements can naturally exist or formed by extraction, purification and concentration

How many alkali metals will combine with 1 oxygen family member
Daniel [21]
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.

The half life of 226/88 Ra is 1620 years. How much of a 12 g sample of 226/88 Ra will be left after 8 half lives?
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

0.0468 g.

Explanation:

  • The decay of radioactive elements obeys first-order kinetics.
  • For a first-order reaction: k = ln2/(t1/2) = 0.693/(t1/2).

Where, k is the rate constant of the reaction.

t1/2 is the half-life time of the reaction (t1/2 = 1620 years).

∴ k = ln2/(t1/2) = 0.693/(1620 years) = 4.28 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹.

  • For first-order reaction: <em>kt = lna/(a-x).</em>

where, k is the rate constant of the reaction (k = 4.28 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹).

t is the time of the reaction (t = t1/2 x 8 = 1620 years x 8 = 12960 year).

a is the initial concentration (a = 12.0 g).

(a-x) is the remaining concentration.

∴ kt = lna/(a-x)

(4.28 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹)(12960 year) = ln(12)/(a-x).

5.54688 = ln(12)/(a-x).

Taking e for the both sides:

256.34 = (12)/(a-x).

<em>∴ (a-x) = 12/256.34 = 0.0468 g.</em>
