Classify these properties of the metal lithium as physical or chemical. physical chemical light enough to float on water silvery gray in color changes from silvery gray to black when placed in moist air can be cut with a sharp knife in the liquid state, it boils at 1317 °c reacts violently with chlorine to form a white solid in the liquid state, it reacts spontaneously with its glass container, producing a hole in the container burns in oxygen with a bright red flame

The psychical properties do no change the composition of the lithium metal.

The chemical properties will change the composition of the lithium producing other substances.

light enough to float on water - physical property

silvery gray in color - physical property

changes from silvery gray to black when placed in moist air - chemical property

(in air the lithium will react with the oxygen forming the oxide which have a black color)

can be cut with a sharp knife - physical property

in the liquid state, it boils at 1317 °C - physical property

reacts violently with chlorine to form a white solid - chemical property

in the liquid state, it reacts spontaneously with its glass container, producing a hole in the container - chemical property

burns in oxygen with a bright red flame - chemical property

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.

the dissociation of nickel hydroxide is follows:

the concentration of hydroxide ion is

the equilibrium constant value of nickel hydroxide is = 6.1 * 10^-^1^6 and thus equilibrium equation can be written as:

thus, concentration of ni is 0.23 * 10^-^4 mol /l
