which one dude theres a lot

15. Apparently 'cause that's the only one that mentions alkali metals

yea got that lmao my bad ig its just for narrowling down the elements

Not your bad lmao Vo crop karke daal deta Hmm I guess so

cuz carbonates can be from anywhere on the table they are just narrowing it down to Group 1 and 2 cuz i dont think 1st chapter me there would any use of valences not that i understand the question lmao

I have headache I will see this later 😭

ouchh yea ig what you have to do is to make carbonates of each option for eg for 1 you make BeCO3 and make it react then you do the stoich and see how much diffrence is between the theorectical volume of CO2 (moles of CO2) and the actual Volume of CO2 (actual moles of CO2) i hmmmmm this isnt working this is that question where you get stuck, ask the teach and then when it gets solved you ask yourself "ye kyu nahi hua yaar 😭"

in this question i think first pv nrt to get moles and a general equation of what it could be say x metal reactedd with it and then backdrag is the ans d? @YAWN

what i basically did and alkali metals are group 2 metals with a valency of 2

It’s B😭

wth where did i go wrong let me recheck
YAWN
YAWNOP•4d ago
Wait how would we balance it tho
Sephrina
Sephrina•4d ago
aa ok so i did with only alkaine earth one but didnt see impurity thing
YAWN

What’s the difference between alkali metals and alkaline earth metals
Sephrina
Sephrina•4d ago
basically i did only alkali ewarth metal here and it has a valency of 2 usuing tht u can easy alkali earth are group 2 and alkali earth are grp one with valency as 2 and 1 respectively let me try the purity part also
YAWN
YAWNOP•4d ago
Yea but if there’s question mentions it’s either alkali or alkaline earth then it depends on that right That’s where I’m confused
Sephrina

try out both of them and see which gives the correct ans give general to both ik it is a bit tedious but no other way
YAWN
YAWNOP•4d ago
Alright thanks dude
Sephrina
Sephrina•4d ago
in this question if u do both only diff it would make is in earth ones molecular mass comes out 21.6 and the other i think should be halfish though let me do the calc @YAWN so i did with impurity and yes lithium seems to be the ans it is coming close by

option a gives me molar mass of 27.5 which is not matching with be and c gives molar mass which is also not matching with be d gives molar mass of 17.5 which is not matching to mg

So the final method is just hit and trial right after calculating the moles?

ys here it is

Alright dude thank you so much

np if u ok do close the doubt
