The Periodic Table is laid out in rows to illustrate recurring (periodic) trends in the chemical behaviour of the elements as their atomic number increases: a new row is begun when chemical behaviour begins to repeat, meaning that elements with similar behaviour fall into the same vertical columns.

The fourth period contains 18 elements, beginning with potassium and ending with krypton. Iron is also in Period (row) 4. As a rule, period 4 elements fill their 4s shells first, then their 3d and 4p shells, in that order, however there are exceptions, such as chromium.

What is copper carbonate plus potassium?

When copper carbonate reacts with potassium, it forms copper metal and potassium carbonate. This reaction is a redox reaction where copper is reduced and potassium is oxidized.


What is produced when Copper nitrate and potassium thiocyanate react?

copper (thiocyanate)2 and potassium nitrate


what is the balanced equation for copper(II)oxide and potassium chloride?

The balanced equation for copper(II) oxide and potassium chloride is CuO + 2KCl → CuCl2 + K2O When copper(II) oxide reacts with potassium chloride then it forms copper(II) chloride and potassium oxide.


What happens when copper metal reacts with potassium cyanide?

Copper metal is less reactive than potassium so it will not react with potassium cyanide.


What happens when you mix copper(II)sulfate and potassium chloride?

When you mix copper(II) sulfate and potassium chloride, a double displacement reaction occurs. Copper(II) chloride and potassium sulfate are formed as products. You will observe a color change as copper chloride is a blue solid.


What happens when potassium iodide is mixed with copper sulphate?

In the laboratory, copper(I) Iodide is prepared by simply mixing an aqueous solutions of potassium iodide and a soluble copper(II) salt such copper sulphate. : :: Cu2+ + 2I− → CuI2 The CuI2 immediately decomposes to iodine and insoluble copper(I) iodide, releasing I2. : :: 2 CuI2 → 2 CuI + I2


Does potassium sorbate contains any copper ions?

No, it is a compound of the metal potassium and the sugar sorbitol.


Add an excess of potassium iodide to copper sulphate solution how much is excess?

The amount of excess potassium iodide depends on the stoichiometry of the reaction between potassium iodide and copper sulfate. One equivalent of potassium iodide is needed to react with one equivalent of copper sulfate. Excess potassium iodide would be any amount added beyond this stoichiometric ratio.


Is potassium more reactive than copper?

Yes, potassium is more reactive than copper. Potassium is a highly reactive metal, readily reacting with water and air. Copper, on the other hand, is less reactive and does not easily react with water or air under normal conditions.


What colour is copper iodide and potassium sulphate?

Potassium sulfate would be colorless; copper iodide is probably blue or green (I don't know which off the top of my head, but copper salts are generally either blue or green).


What Copper sulfate solution and potassium iodide?

When copper sulfate solution is mixed with potassium iodide, a solid precipitate of copper iodide is formed, while potassium sulfate remains in solution. This reaction is a double displacement reaction. The balanced chemical equation is CuSO4 + 2KI → CuI2 + K2SO4.


What potassium is used to patina copper?

Potassium sulfide or potassium polysulfide is commonly used to patina copper. These chemicals react with the copper to create a dark patina on the surface. Always use these chemicals with caution and proper safety equipment, as they can be hazardous.
