The alkali metals are found in group 1 of the Periodic table. They are very reactive metals and do not occur freely in nature. Alkali metals are malleable‚ ductile‚ and are good conductors of heat and electricity. Alkali metals can also explode if they are exposed to water. The Alkali metals are: lithium‚ sodium‚ potassium‚ rubidium‚ cesium‚ and francium. Lithium The mineral petalite‚ which contains lithium‚ was discovered by a Brazilian scientist named Jose Bonifacio towards the end of the

Amber Crisp 3/5/14 3/5/14 Flame Test Purpose In this experiment I will learn how to perform and observe the flame tests of some alkali and alkaline earth metals and be able to identify and unknown chemical by the color of the flame Procedure I placed about 0.5 mL of 8 different chemicals into 8 different places in the 24-well plate. I then lit the handy wick to keep a flame burning. I soaked a cotton swab in the first chemical and moved the cotton swab in and out of the flame rapidly to see the flame

Part 1 Part 1 of the experiment investigated the effect of different temperatures on beetroot cell membranes (a type of plant cell). Through this experiment‚ the process of diffusion and osmosis was in action. Various temperatures ranging from low temperatures to high temperatures such as -5⁰C‚ 5⁰C‚ 30⁰C‚ 50⁰C and 80⁰C were used to investigate the temperature effects on beetroot cell membranes. The hypothesis predicted that the higher the temperature the darker the beetroot substance and the lower

The purpose of this report is to first discuss the reasons why Duracell’s performance has been decreasing over the past four years‚ and then recommend some strategic actions Gillette should take to turn Duracell around. This report will begin by providing a brief introduction on the acquisition of Duracell by Gillette‚ followed by the reasons it lacked success‚ and finally end with the proposed recommendations for Duracell. Currently‚ Gillette’s operating segments include personal grooming‚ small

The indicator will change colour depending on whether an acid or an alkali is added. The colour in red cabbage (it is a pigment called an anthocyanin) makes a very good indicator. Acids and alkalis Acids have a sour taste‚ like vinegar (which contains ethanoic acid) and lemons (which contain citric acid). Alkalis are substances that react with acids and neutralise them. Soap and washing powder are alkaline. Acids and alkalis are found in a surprising number of places. Some are edible and are found

TUBINGAL RGH is stable to alkali (tested up to pH 11). When mixing several products‚ we propose checking its compatibility in pretrials. The product is not sensitive to frost. TUBINGAL RGH is sensitive to temperatures higher than 60 °C. Storability TUBINGAL RGH can be stored

exceeded in aluminum and iron.Magnesium readily ignites upon heating in air and burns with a dazzling white flame. To extinguish the flame water should not be used. Alkaline earth metal salts in general‚ are less soluble in water than the corresponding alkali metal salts. Some are even so insoluble that they resist weathering and leahcing action in rainwater. Its common oxidation states is 2. Magnesium forms many compounds. The oxide‚ hydroxide‚ chloride‚ carbonate‚ and sulfate are commercially important
