As you know the group 1A elements are also called the Alkali metals and are highly reactive metals because they have only one electron in their valence shell, this means that all prior levels are full and stable, and they have only one electron in the upper level of the valence shell and it is ready to react with any element that is close to it.
The reactions shown here can be combined to make the overall reaction c(s) + h2o(g) ⇌ co(g) + h2(g) by reversing some and/or dividing all the coefficients by a number. a. c(s) + o2(g) → co2(g) k=1.363×10^69 b. 2 h2(g) + o2(g) → 2 h2o(g) k=1.389×10^80 c. 2co(g) + o2 (g) → 2 co2(g) k=1.477×10^90
At 20°c, a sample of h2o liquid and a sample of co2 gas each have the same average kinetic energy. why is one a liquid and the other a gas at this temperature?
