A chemistry student needs 55.0g of carbon tetrachloride for an experiment. by consulting the crc handbook of chemistry and physics, the student discovers that the density of carbon tetrachloride is 1.59·gcm−3 . calculate the volume of carbon tetrachloride the student should pour out.

34.6 cm³

Explanation:

Given data

We can determine the volume of carbon tetrachloride that the student should pour out using the following expression.

ρ = m / V

V = m / ρ

V = 55.0 g / (1.59 g/cm³)

V = 34.6 cm³

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
