Why are alkali metals so reactive?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Savatey [412]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

<em>Alkali metals are among the most reactive metals. This is due in <u>part to their larger atomic radii and low ionization energies.</u> They tend to donate their electrons in reactions and have an oxidation state of +1. ... All these characteristics can be attributed to these elements' large atomic radii and weak metallic bonding.</em>

Dovator [93]

Answer:

5 × 10^-4 L

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

2KClO3 = 2KCl + 3O2

Number of moles of KClO3 = 13.5g/122.5 g / mol = 0.11 moles

From the stoichiometry of the reaction;

2 moles of KClO3 yields 3 moles of O2

0.11 moles of KClO3 yields 0.11 × 3/2 = 0.165 moles of oxygen gas

From the ideal gas equation;

PV= nRT

P= 85.4 × 10^4 KPa

V=?

n= 0.165

R= 8.314 J K-1 mol-1

T= 40+273 = 313K

V= 0.165 ×8.134 × 313/85.4 × 10^4

V=429.4/85.4 × 10^4

V= 5 × 10^-4 L

What is the molarity of a 250.0 milliliter aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide that contains 15.5 grams of solute
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

There are a number of ways to express concentration of a solution. This includes molarity. Molarity is expressed as the number of moles of solute per volume of the solution. The concentration of the solution is calculated as follows:

 <span> </span><span>Molarity = 15.5 g NaOH (1 mol NaOH / 40 g NaOH)  / .250 L solution</span>

<span>Molarity = 1.55 M</span>

For elements in the third row of the periodic table and beyond, the octet rule is often not obeyed. a friend of yours says this
Rom4ik [11]

The reason that some of the elements of period three and beyond are steady in spite of not sticking to the octet rule is due to the fact of possessing the tendency of forming large size, and a tendency of making more than four bonds. For example, sulfur, it belongs to period 3 and is big enough to hold six fluorine atoms as can be seen in the molecule SF₆, while the second period of an element like nitrogen may not be big to comprise 6 fluorine atoms.  

The existence of unoccupied d orbitals are accessible for bonding for period 3 elements and beyond, the size plays a prime function than the tendency to produce more bonds. Hence, the suggestion of the second friend is correct.

1. What is an isomer? How many possible isomers of hexane are there? What are the structural differences between these isomers?
VARVARA [1.3K]
Answer 1:
Isomers are compounds with same molecular formula but different structure formula. Isomers are classified into two types
a) Structural/configurational isomers
b) Stereo isomers
In structural/configurational isomers  atom and functional groups are attached in different fashion. Structural isomers may have different functional groups. Structural isomers are further classified as chain isomers, position isomers and functional isomers. In case of stereo-isomers, compounds have same functional group, but different orientation in space. They also have difference activity towards polarized light.

 Answer 2:
Hexane has a molecular formula of C6H14. It exhibits following structural isomers
a) hexane<span>,
b) 2-methylpentane
c)3-methylpentane
d) 2,2-dimethylbutane
e) 2,3-dimethylbutane
Thus, in all there are 5 isomers of hexane

Answer 3: 
</span><span>Butane has two possible isomers but that decane has 75 possible isomers. This can be attributed to the fact that butane has 4 carbon atoms, while decane has 10 carbon atom. As the number of carbon atom increases, there are higher possible sites of linkage, in different fashion. Therefore, as number 69 of carbon atoms increases, number of different possible isomers increases. 

Answer 4:
It has been observed that, though isomers have same molecular formula, but the have different boiling points. Infact, branched isomers have lower boiling point as compared to linear isomers. For example, hexane has boiling point = 69 oC, 2 methyl pentane has boiling point = 60 oC, 2,4, dimethyl butane has boiling point = 58 oC and 2,2 dimethyl butane has boiling point = 50 oC. Thus, it can be observed that branched isomers have lower boiling points as compared to linear isomers. This can be attributed to lower van der Waal's forces of interaction in branched isomers as compared to linear isomers.
