You and several novice researchers decide to set up some experiments in an attempt to explain why potassium reacts with oxygen to form a superoxide. One of your team members proposes that potassium's capacity to form a superoxide compound is related to a low value for the first ionization energy. If you wanted to validate this hypothesis, indicate two metals other than potassium (in order of increasing atomic number) that you could examine to see if they also form superoxides when reacted with oxygen gas.

Look at the reaction below: ca(hco3)2 --> caco3 + co2 + h2o first, balance the reaction. once balanced, use dimensional analysis or another method to find out how many moles of carbon dioxide will be produced if we start with 16.5 moles of calcium bicarbonate (calcium hydrogen carbonate). = mol of co2 number needs to be reported to three significant figures.

If the element whose electric configuration ends in the d sublevel, the element is calssified as? a. inner transition b. noble gases c. representative d. transition

Consider three unlabeled bottles, each contain small pieces of one of the following metals. - magnesium - sodium - silver the following reagents are used for identifying the metals. - pure water - a solution of 1.0 molar hcl - a solution of concentrated hno3 (a) which metal can be easily identified because it is much softer than the other two? describe a chemical test that distinguishes this metal from the other two, using only one of the reagents above. write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs. (b) one of the other two metals reacts readily with the hcl solution. identify the metal and write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs when this metal is added to the hcl solution. use the table of standard reduction potentials (attached) to account for the fact that this metal reacts with hcl while the other does not. (c) the one remaining metal reacts with the concentrated hno3 solution. write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs. (d) the solution obtained in (c) is diluted and a few drops of 1 m hcl is added. describe what would be observed. write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs.
