Comparing Krypton, Arsenic, And Potassium
1. Comparing Krypton, Arsenic, And Potassium
The three elements that I will be looking at are Krypton, Arsenic, and Potassium. These elements are
all very different but share some similarities even with their separate placement on the periodic
table. I chose these elements because they are the most different of the six elements that I chose to
do this project on. Arsenic is the first element we will be looking at. Arsenic is a metalloid because it
shares some characteristics with metals and some with nonmetals. Arsenic, like Calcium, is a grey,
slight shine.They are both solids at room temperature. They also both can conduct electricity in at
least one of their forms. One of the differences between these elements is that arsenic is poisonous
and dangerous to your health even in relatively small doses. Calcium is not dangerous to your health
and is actually needed for survival. Krypton and Arsenic are much less similar even though they are
closer in the number of valence electrons. One major difference is that arsenic is a solid at room
temperature, unlike Krypton. Arsenic also does not look like Krypton. Arsenic is more chemically
reactive than Krypton as well. And lastly Krypton is non–toxic unlike arsenic. ... Show more content

Over the duration of viewing "Hunting the Elements" I learned about various scientific topics
including, the elements, what all living things are composed of, CHNOPS, rare earth elements, and
even the origins of elements. The elements were organized by Dimitri Mendeleév. He organized
them by properties (columns), groups (horizontal), and atomic number (the number of protons and
electrons). This became known as the Periodic Table. And currently there are 118 elements. He also
found gaps in which elements that were yet to be discovered were to go, three of these unknown
elements were found and identified in Mendeleév's lifetime. The elements today are used in

In some instances lead reacted very similarly with the alkaline earth metal but very different in the
other reactions such as with iodide. This is due to lead's position on the periodic table as compared
to those of the alkaline earth metals. The position on the periodic table correlates to an element's
atomic radius, ionization energy, and electron affinity. All of these properties affect an element's
chemical properties such as solubility. A systematic error occurred during my experiment when I
observed a reaction between barium and iodide. There should have been no reaction. This error is
probably the result of using a test tube that was not cleaned properly prior to combining Ba(NO3)2
with NaI. This experiment reinforced the concepts introduced in Chapter 8 of our textbook. Pre–Lab

9. Periodic Table Research Paper : Madison
Periodic Table Research Paper Madison Swanson Manson Northwest Webster Abstract Today, the
periodic table is used by many people worldwide to learn more about the elements located on it. It
has evolved into a much easier piece of information to use because of all the many scientists and
chemists that have revised it over the last hundred ish years. There are certain things on the periodic
table that help to learn more about each element. Periodic families are used to help understand
similarities between the atomic structures of elements. Trends are used to show certain patterns
within the periodic table. One can learn many things about the periodic table from studying it.
History of the Periodic Table The periodic table is a scientific table with all of the known elements
found throughout history and is organized in order of increasing atomic numbers. The first discovery
of an element was in 1649 by a man named Hennig Brand and in the following two centuries,
chemists all over the world kept finding similar properties and decided to start categorizing them
into similar groups. In 1869, Dmitri Mendeleev (see figure 1) was the first man to come up with a
periodic table based on atomic mass. Since then many other scientists have provided more
information to make the periodic table what it is today. There are multiple periodic tables all
including the same elements but some containing more or less information on each element.

Biological evolution begins with the origin of life, but the subject is the perhaps the most

dependent on knowing the time period when life arose, which comes from the fossil and molecular
records, including molecular clocks based on genetic mutations. Interrelated with the setting is the
chemistry that generates the organic molecules used to assemble the first cells and carry the genetic

The last 60 years have witnessed chemists developing an understanding of organocatalysis and
ligand field theory, both of which give demonstrable low–molecular–weight catalysts. We assume
that transition–metal–ligand complexes are likely to have occurred in the deep ocean trenches by the
combination of naturally occurring oceanic metals and ligands synthesized from the emergent
CO(2), H(2), NH(3), H(2)S, and H(3)PO(4). We are now in a position to investigate experimentally
the metal–ligand complexes, their catalytic function, and the reaction networks that could have

over geologic time. Consequently, elemental and isotopic composition of marine chemical

Although, the high temperature basalt–seawater interaction in the mid oceanic ridge axis considered
to have no isotope effect on the seawater Mg, the potential of fractionating Mg isotopes during
seawater circulating through low temperature ridge flanks is still unexplored. Hydrothermal removal
of Mg in the MOR flank can vary between 10–80% of the total Mg removal via seawater–basalt
interaction and part of that Mg is incorporated into the CaCO3 precipitated to form calcium
carbonate veins (CCV). Given the abundance (1–4 vol%) of CCVs in the upper ocean–ic crust and
potential to incorporate significant amount of Mg (~10 times more than biogenic calcites) CCVs can
be another potential sink for Mg in the ocean and since carbonates are known to fractionate Mg
isotopes CCVs can regulate both concentration and isotopic composition of Mg in seawater.
Besides, due to the lack of resolvable sen–sitivity of Mg isotopic fractionation in carbonates to
temperature, the CCVs can also record variability in seawater δ26Mg. This motivates me to
investigate, the δ26Mg of CCVs from various MOR flanks to evaluate i) their role in controlling
oceanic Mg budget and ii) their potential as proxy for seawater δ26Mg. To fulfill the primary

Date: 01–05–14 1. Introduction: Imagine the confusion among chemists during the middle of the
nineteenth century. By 1860, more than 60 elements had been discovered. Chemists had to learn the
properties of these elements as well as those of the many compounds that they formed a difficult
task. And to make matters worse, there was no method for accurately determining an element's
atomic mass or the number of atoms of an element in a particular chemical compound. Different
chemists used different atomic masses for the same elements, resulting in different compositions
being proposed for the same compounds. This made it nearly impossible for one chemist to
understand the results of another. Everything around us is made of atoms. Most objects are mixtures
or compounds of different types of atoms, but some common items consist of only a single type of
atom. Each image here represents a common item that is composed of only one or a few elements.
Pennies were once made of just one element copper. Today, zinc is also a major component of
pennies. If we could look very closely at a copper penny, we would see that every atom is the same.
Typically, items in stores have been arranged so that it is easy to find what you are looking for, and
similar products are usually grouped together. This makes finding an item simpler than if the items

Relative Reactivity and the Periodic Table
Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to investigate the relationship between the relative reactivity of
several metal elements and where the elements are found on the periodic table. There are many
factors pertaining to the order in which the elements are laid out and in this lab, determining the
reactivity levels of certain metals will lead to patterns. The placement of elements in groups is
usually related to the reactivity level. The purpose of this lab is to examine these levels and figure
out if there is an increasing reactivity pattern, decreasing, or if there is not one at all.

In addition, this theory focuses on building the metabolism before information bearing compounds
like RNA, while other theories focus on creating an RNA world first. However, the idea that
hydrothermal vents were the hatchery of life can be compatible for both theories. Similar to how the
micro–compartments in the vents could have concentration chemicals needed for metabolism to
arise, the micro–compartments could have also concentrated products needed for organic synthesis
of primitive genetic material (Joyce G.F. 2002). Some RNA world theories were criticized because
the chemicals in the ocean would be in too low of a concentration to react readily. Therefore, using
hydrothermal vents as a concentrating mechanisms would provide concentrations needed to help
endergonic reactions proceed (Martin et al. 2008).
To further our understanding of how life could have arisen and the constraints for life, we need to
look beyond our planet. A logical choice would be to look at icy worlds that have a similar oceanic
climate to the Hadean Ocean. Recent data obtained by the Cassini spacecraft point to Enceladus as a
possible location to answer these questions. In 2005, the Cassini spacecraft discovered plumes of
water vapor, salts and ice ejected from Saturn's moon Enceladus. This plume was sodium–salt rich

24. History Of The Periodic Table
History of the Periodic Table Austin Smith LSG5 Scientists all around the world have attempted to
group, sort and organise elements together for hundreds of years, with initial classification systems
dating decades before the dawn of an actual table in the nineteenth century. An example of early
work prior to the 1800s is Antoine Lavoisier and partners Antoine Fourcroy, Louis–Bernard Guyton
de Morveau and Claude–Louis Berthollet's list of elements. While this one dimensional system
documented all of the 33 elements known at the time (and still shares the same idea of organising
the elements), sorting them based on a variety of physical factors proved to be much more complex
than imagined (Scerri, 2011). Dobereiner's Triads of Elements (Dobereiner's Law of Triads, no date)
In 1817, Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner was one of the first to create a milestone for future
classification systems. He attempted to structure the elements together based off of elements with
similar traits, grouping elements in groups of three, together forming what was called a 'triad'
(Western Oregon University, 1997). Dobereiner created his three–element structure when he noticed
that the atomic weight of strontium was almost the average of calcium and barium, all of which
shared similar properties (Dobereiner's Law of Triads, no date). Dobereiner noticed such pattens
more often, two triads being the halogen triad, consisting of chlorine, bromine, and iodine as well as

26. Origins Of The Periodic Table
As we know, today there are one–hundred and eighteen elements on the periodic table of elements,
but it didn't start out like this. Robert Boyle, a scientist, discovered the element phosphorus in 1680.
Also, in this year the element became known to the public. By the year of 1809, the number of
elements discovered at the time was up to 47. Also, scientists began to see a pattern in the
characteristics of the elements. Later in 1863, The 56 elements discovered at the time were then
divided into 11 groups based on their characteristics by an english chemist named John Newlands.
In the year 1869 a Russian chemist by the name of Dimitri Mendeleev started the making of the
periodic table. He started by rearranging the elements in order of atomic mass. He also expected the
discovery of other elements, so he decided to leave empty spaces in his table so he could add new
elements later. In 1894, the noble gases were discovered by Sir William Ramsay and Lord Rayleigh.
The noble gases were added to the periodic table in a group labeled 0. Eventually in 1945, Glenn
Seaborg discovered and identified lanthanides and actinides. The Lanthanides were the elements
with atomic numbers greater than 57 and lower than 71. The Actinides were elements greater than
92. These elements today are located underneath the periodic table (refer to figure 1). The last major
change to the periodic table occurred in the 20th century due to the work of Glenn Seaborg. starting

28. How Did Sir Humphry Davy Contribute To Chemistry
Sir Humphy Davy had many essential contributions to the study of chemistry and the periodic table
of elements. Sir Humphry Davy was a chemist from the late 18th and early 19th century from
England. His contributions and experiments were remarkably important to the discovery of various
elements, and his work with various gases. Sir Humphry Davy was born on December 17, 1778 and
raised in Penzance, Cornwall, England. At a young age, Davy was apprenticed to be a surgeon at 16
after he had lost his father, and then was educated at Penzance and Truron in Cornwall for medicine.

Davy was accepted into the Royal Society, "the oldest scientific academy for the fellowship of the
the world's most eminent scientist,"(royal society). He discovered electrolysis, the interactions of
electric currents with compound, which led to the isolation of sodium and potassium. Davy also
used electrochemistry to isolate the elements of the alkaline earth metals: boron, barium, strontium,
magnesium, and calcium. Davy was able to isolate the alkaline earth metals by using using batteries
made out of voltaic pile, and using the electric charge to separate the elements from their
compounds. His concept of electrolytic apparatus was he connected the battery to metallic disks that
were dipped into a liquid of the compound that he wanted separate (1, Kenyon). Davy alloyed the
compound with mercury so the water itself was not separated, and was able to produce with a
current, small clumps of the alkaline earth metals.(1, Kenyon) He also discovered boron, hydrogen
telluride, and hydrogen phosphide (phosphine)(Gibbs). He also worked with chlorine to prove that
Lavoisier's theory that all acids contained oxygen, but failed to due so because he did not know that
chlorine was actually a chemical element. Davy was a majorly important to the isolation of multiple

The element magnesium is a metal (alkaline earth metal) and solid at room temperature. It has a
density of 1,740 kg/m3 and it is found in nature. It's isotopes are Mg–24 (relative abundance:
78.99%), Mg–25 (relative abundance: 10.00%), and Mg–26 (relative abundance: 11.01%).
Magnesium has a melting point of 1,202o F and a boiling point of 1,996o F. This element is a slow–
reacting element but its reactivity rises with oxygen. The crystal structure of Magnesium is simple
hexagonal.

A lack of sufficient amount of it in the body may potentially lead to the development of various
diseases and disorders. Magnesium is considered important for the functioning of the body because
it is involved in various processes such as the beating of the heart to the function of the body's
muscles and hormones. Some symptoms of magnesium deficiency are: nausea, loss of appetite, and
fatigue. The good news is that there are also effective ways to fight magnesium deficiency, and one
is through eating magnesium–rich foods.
There are many interesting facts about magnesium. One of them is, China is the leading producer of
magnesium, responsible for about 80% of the world's supply. Magnesium is needed for hundreds of
biochemical reactions in the body. 60% of the magnesium in the human body is found in the

36. Molecular Formulas: The Law Of Conservation Of Mass
Chemical change is any change that shows the formation of new chemical substances. At the
molecular level, chemical change includes the making or breaking of bonds between atoms. For
most materials it takes heat to make it have a chemical change. It is often very difficult to reverse.
Physical change changes molecules around but it does not affect their internal structures. Changes
such as melting or boiling are physical changes. They are easy to reverse but the result at the end
may not look exactly like what it looked like at the beginning. The Law of Conservation of Mass
states that in a chemical reaction matter is neither created nor destroyed. The law of conservation of
mass also states that the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the
reactants. It can be used to solve for unknown masses, such the amount of gas consumed or
produced during a reaction. Chemical reactions include joining different substances. The particles of
one substance are just rearranged and moved around to form a new substance. The chemical reaction
makes a new substance with new and different physical and chemical properties. ... Show more

Supercritical fluids (SCFs) exist at temperatures above the liquid–vapor critical temperature and
have densities between liquid and vapor states. The advantages of supercritical fluids as
environmentally benign solvents arise from their non–toxicity, non–combustibility, availability and
possibilities for modulating physical and chemical properties through minor changes of temperature
or pressure. These fascinating features of SCFs lead to their important potentials as green
alternatives to toxic organic solvents and there have been many industrial and technological
applications using SCFs [1–7]. During the last two decades, there has been renewed interest in using

These resulting differences have a direct consequence on the solvation properties of SCW. Ionic
association occurs to a larger extent in SCW because of the lower solubility of ions in water under
extreme conditions. Aqueous electrolyte solutions constitute an integral part of a large number of
biological and geological processes. Particularly, the thermodynamic properties of ions in
supercritical water (SCW) have crucial roles in many geological processes [13]. Therefore, it is
important to study and model the solvation structure and dynamics of aqueous electrolyte solutions
in supercritical conditions at the microscopic level for the purpose of understanding the chemical
processes and properties of such hydrothermal systems. Ion hydration and ion–pair association in
SCW have been the important subjects for hydrothermal technologies [14]. Aqueous fluids which

Experiment 2: The Alkaline Earths and the Halogens: Two Families in the Periodic Table
Lab Report
By: YOU
Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to find the relative solubilities of some salts of the
Alkaline Earths and use that information to find the order which they appear in the periodic table;
also use that information to efficiently find an unknown alkaline earth halide. Also to find the
relative oxidizing powers of the Halogens given and using that information finding the order of the
Halogens in the periodic table; also use that information to efficiently find an unknown Halogen.
Experimental Procedure: View pages 25–28 in the lab Manuel.

I came to the conclusion that they should appear (Cl, Br, I) from top to bottom respectively. Based
on the previous information regarding mass increases as you go down the periodic table I was able
to come to this conclusion. I observed that Cl had the least color concentration, then Br, then I had
the most. The greater the color concentration, the greater the mass. This observed data let me come
to my conclusion.
To find the unknown #8 Alkaline I realized that the only anion that had 4 distinct precipitate
reactions for each alkaline was H2SO4, so all I had to do was react Unknown #8 with H2SO4. I did
this experiment and the reactant was milky white. Based on this reaction in comparison to my
previous reactions I concluded that unknown #8 alkaline was the alkaline earth Ba. This experiment
was most efficient because it only took one step to figure out what my unknown was, since their was
four different reaction outcomes and four different earth metal each matching to one out come this
was clearly the most efficient way.
To find the unknown #8 halide I realized that the Halogen Cl2 had three distinct reactions for each
halide. Using this information it made sense to react my unknown #8 halide with Cl2. I did the
reaction and the result was a clear mixture which was the same mixture of the Cl2+Cl– reaction.
Using this knowledge I came to the conclusion that my unknown #8 halide is Cl–. This

44. 1.1 Introduction. Heavy Metals Are Naturally Occurring
1.1 Introduction Heavy metals are naturally occurring elements and are present in varying
concentrations in all Ecosystems. There are a large number of heavy metals. They are found in
elemental form and in a variety of other chemical compounds. Those that are volatile and those that
become linked to fine particles can be widely imparted on very large scales. Each form or compound
has different properties which also affect what happens to it in a food web, and how toxic it is.
Human activities have drastically changed the biochemical cycles and balance of some heavy
metals. Between 1850 and 1990, production of copper, lead and zinc increased 10–fold. (Nriagu,

Allergies are not uncommon and reiterate long–term contact with some metals or their compounds
may even cause cancer (Takala, J., 1999) {International Occupational Safety and Health Information
Centre 1999}. For some heavy metals, toxic levels can be just on top of the background
concentrations naturally found in nature. Therefore, it is important for us to inform ourselves about
the heavy metals and to take protective measures against excessive exposition. In most accessories
in the United States, heavy metal toxicity is an unfamiliar medical condition; however, it is a
clinically significant condition when it does occur. If unrecognized or inappropriately treated,
poisoning can result in significant illness and reduced fineness of life (Ferner D.J., 2001). For
persons who suspicious that they or somebody in their household might have heavy metal toxicity,
testing is fundamental. Appropriate conventional and natural medical procedures may need to be
pursued (Dupler, D., 2001). The association of symptoms indicative of acute toxicity is not tricky to
recognize because the symptoms are usually heavy, rapid in onset, and associated with a known
exposition or ingestion (Ferner D.J.,2001) cramping, nausea, and vomiting; pain; sweating;

Reactions of Magnesium and Calcium with water.
Research Question:
How much reaction will be occur when you put Magnesium and Calcium with water?
Background Information and Introduction:
Magnesium and Calcium are both placed under group 2 in the periodic table. Group 2 is also known
as Alkaline Earth Metallic elements. All of the metals in group two have an oxidation number of +2,
making them extremely reactive. The metals are not found freely in the nature due to their reactivity.
When metals react with water (preferably cold), you will end up with metal hydroxide. When the
metal reacts with steam, metal oxide will be formed. Metal oxide is formed due to that the metal
hydroxides decomposes to distribute oxide and water.

Acid rain is a great problem in our world. It causes fish and plants to die because earth's rainwaters

Farmers put lime (a very strong alkaline substance) and special fertilizers in there soil neutralize the
acid in the soil on a regular daily basis.
In general, soil structure is classified as sandy, clay, or loam, although most garden soils are
mixtures of the three in varying proportions. A sandy soil is very loose and will not hold water. A
clay soil is dense and heavy, sticky when wet, and almost brick hard when dry. Loam is a mixture of
sand and clay soils, but it also contains large quantities of humus, or decayed organic material,
which loosens and aerates clay soil and binds sandy soil particles together. In addition, humus
supplies plant nutrients. Then, soil structure can be improved by digging in compost, manure, peat
moss, and other organic matter.
Parts of western United States, Minneapolis, northeastern North America and east and north Canada
are places in North America where soil is more sensitive to acid deposits then any other places.
Many factors, including the soil chemistry and the type of rock determine the environments ability
to neutralize the acid deposits from the rain.
Soils naturally contain small amounts of poisonous minerals such as mercury, aluminum, and
cadmium. Normally, these minerals do not cause serious problems, but as the acidity of the soil

53. The Effect Of Oil Recovery On The Economy
2.1 Enhanced Oil Recovery
Oil recovery is traditionally subdivided into three stages: Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary.
However, reservoir production operations are not always conducted in the specified order, for
example, the tertiary process may be applied at secondary stage instead of water flooding.
The term "tertiary recovery" is not widely used in petroleum engineering literature and the term of
"enhanced oil recovery" (EOR) became more accepted in today's industry. Another description
occasionally normally used is "improve oil recovery" (IOR), which includes EOR but also includes
a broader range of activities, such as reservoir characterisation, improved reservoir management,
and infill drilling.

It is therefore vital to have a good understanding of these principles prior to moving forward with
this project. (Reference)
This can be expressed as the ratio of mobility of displacing fluid to that of displaced fluid. In a water
flooding system, if M>1, the displacing fluid moves faster than the displaced liquid that is, oil. This
is not desirable due to the displacing fluid overflowing displaced fluid. For M much larger than 1,
the displacing fluid will channel past the oil front. M should be less than or equal to 1 for maximum
displacement efficiency. Viscous/ polymer fluid is used in ASP project to achieve M being less than
unity. (Ref–bib) This is possible by:
Improving relative permeability (water and oil)
Increasing the viscosity of displacing fluid, Water
Decreasing the viscosity of displaced fluid, oil
2.3 Classification of EOR methods
Enhanced oil Recovery methods can be broken into two groups; Thermal and non–thermal. The
main focus of this project lies under non–thermal and in Chemical Floods. The most common global
form of EOR is non–thermal. 2.4 Chemical Flooding
Chemicals can be injected into reservoirs to improve oil recovery and efficiency. Surfactants like

From the observations of the reactions of alkali metals, it is conspicuous potassium was the most
reactive due to the fact the reaction between water and potassium was immensely more vigorous the
other alkali metals. Additionally, there was a burst of sparks and flames in the potassium reaction
also a great amount of bubbling and gas formed, greater than the other reactions. The reaction
partaken between sodium and water was seemingly not as reactive as potassium, from the
experiment it can be inferred that only sparks and some formation of gas and bubbling were
observed. Moreover, lithium was the least reactive, there were no sparks or flames evident, rather
only a small amount of bubbling and formation of gas occurred.
With the alkaline earth metals, the reactivity of the elements was tested in both water and distilled
hydrochloric acid. The reaction of calcium was observed to be more vigorous and overall more
reactive than magnesium. In the test between calcium and water, there was bubbling, and formation
of gas observed, additionally, when a magnesium strip was placed in water, no reaction occurred,

Before I begin, I'd like to state some facts, and provide some information that I came across while
researching for this activity. As we all know, elements differ in the number of protons in their atomic
nuclei. Each element when increased by 1 proton, turns into a new element, and once we go beyond
the 90+ protons, elements become more and more unstable. Hence, the probabilities of elements
existing naturally beyond that point, becomes slimmer. The bigger the number of protons in the
nucleus the shorter the time (if the element exists) before it decays to a more stable proton
configuration. i.e. Ununoctium (118 protons), has the highest atomic number, its decay time to
Livermorium (LV116 protons) is 0.89ms. While the odds of discovering new ... Show more content

Radium's history is an interesting one. Marie Sklodowska Curie a Polish chemist, and her husband,

that the unrefined pitchblende was more radioactive than the uranium extracted from it. That meant
that the pitchblende must contain one other radioactive element. One ton of pitchblende contains
about 0.14 grams of radium. Curie refined tons of pitchblende just to get a very miniscule amount of
radium.
The symbol for radium is Ra. The name Radium comes from the Latin word radius, which means
ray. Radium is located in the second group and seventh period, which makes it an Alkaline earth
metal. It is a solid at room temperature. It has a density of 5.5 ... Show more content on

Which means it has 88 protons, 88 electrons, and 138 neutrons. It has an atomic weight of (226)
amu. Radium's Nobel gas configuration is [Rn] 7s2. It has 37 known isotopes whose half–lives we
known. The isotopes masses vary from 202 to 234. None of the isotopes are stable though. All
isotopes of radium are highly radioactive, radium–226 is the most stable isotope of radium. Radium
has the similar chemical properties as barium. Radium is very reactive. When it comes in contact
with air, it violently reacts with it, turning from almost pure white to black, creating radium nitride.
Radium can also react with water creating radium hydroxide. Radium also has other common
compounds such as radium fluoride, radium bromide, radium chloride, radium oxide, radium iodide,
radium nitride. Although radium is the heaviest member of the alkaline–earth metals it is the most
volatile.
Radium is naturally found in ores of uranium such as pitchblende. Radium is extracted from the
waste of uranium processing. Ores containing radium are found in Canada, Australia, Zaire, and
