Answer:

Explanation:

The elements in Group I of the periodic table are called alkali metals. They are called alkali metals because they react with water to form alkali solutions. These metals are very reactive; hence they have to be stored under oil to protect them from corrosion by air and waterwaterwater

Mexico City has an elevation of 7400 ft above sea level. Its normal atmospheric pressure is 589 mm Hg. At what temperature does

IRISSAK [1]

Given that the volume and amount of water are kept constant,
P/T = constant
P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂
Normal atmospheric pressure is 746 mmHg and normal boiling point of water is 100 °C.
746/100 = 589/T₂
T₂ = 79.0 °C

Which atom would it be most difficult to remove an electron from

Norma-Jean [14]

I would be difficult to remove an electron from a Noble or Inert Gas (also known as the group 8 or 0 elements). This is because they all have filled outermost shells and as such the outermost shell would be held tightly to the nucleus and as such make it difficult to remove. Examples Helium, Neon, Argon, Xenon, Krypton and Radon

A chemical reaction involves reactant species A, B, and C. Leaving all other factors identical, doubling the concentration of sp

umka21 [38]

Answer:

Rate = k . [B]² . [C]

Explanation:

The dependence of the reaction rate on the concentration of the reactants is given by the reaction order of each one, as shown in the rate equation.

$Rate=k.[A]^{x} .[B]^{y} .[C]^{z}$

where,

k is the rate constant

x, y, z are the reaction orders.

The rate of reaction is not affected by changing the concentration of species A. This means that the reaction order for A is x = 0 since when its concentration changes, the rate stays the same.

Leaving all other factors identical, doubling the concentration of species B increases the rate by a factor of 4. This means that the reaction order for B is y = 2, so when the concentration is doubled, the new rate is 2² = 4 times the initial rate.

The rate of the reaction is linearly dependent on the concentration of C. This means that the reaction order for C is z = 1, that is, a linear dependence.

All in all, the rate equation is:

Rate = k . [B]² . [C]
