Interpretation:
The reason for the similar chemical and physical properties is to be determined.
Concept Introduction :
Elements of the same group have similar physical and chemical properties because of the same outer shell electronic configuration.
Answer to Problem 13LC
Because of the same outer shell electronic configuration.
Explanation of Solution
Sodium and potassium belong to group 1A. Outermost electrons participate in a
Because of a common outer shell electrical configuration, elements belonging to the same group share similar physical and chemical characteristics. Also, the atomic size of potassium is comparable to that of sodium.
Therefore, the chemical properties of sodium and potassium are similar.
The position of elements in the periodic table helps in determining their properties.

- The acid-base indicator HX undergoes the following reaction in a dilute aqueous solution: HX (color 1) H+ + X- (color 2). The following absorbance data were obtained for a 0.00035 M solution of HX in 0.1 M NaOH and 0.1 M HCI. Measurements were made at wavelengths of 450 nm and 620 nm using a 1.0 cm glass cuvette. 450 620 A(460 nm) A(630 nm) 0.1 M NaOH 0.1 M HCI 0.065 0.435 0.895 0.150 In the 0.1M NaOH solution, the indicator will be almost 100% in the X- form, while in 0.1M HCI, the indicator will be nearly 100% protonated (HX). Calculate the acid dissociation constant for the indicator if a pH=5 buffer solution containing a very small amount of indicator exhibits an absorbance of 0.567 at 450 nm and 0.395 at 620 nm (measured in a 1 cm glass cuvette).arrow_forwardShow work...give the name of the given compound.
