I am clearly too lazy to do this properly as I am just posting Periodic Videos’ latest offering. I can’t wait to see the reactions with potassium, rubidium and caesium. I talked about buying a high speed camera a few weeks ago. Now that we have our shiny new iMac it would be great to hear your ideas of things we could film in slow motion.
.
Questions…
- What would be the pH of the sodium hydroxide formed during this reaction?
- To which group of the periodic table do these metals belong
- Why did the Prof say that the dissolved sodium hydroxide would prevent the water from boiling?
