Answer:

K2CO3 = K2O + CO2

Explanation:

In a chemical equation, the number of atoms on the left needs to be balanced with the number of atoms on the right, and there has to be the same number of the same *type* of atom on both sides as well.
On the left:
2 K
1 C
3 O
and on the right,
2 K
1 O

On the right, there are a few atoms missing, specifically, 1 C and 2 O.
The missing atoms then should be added to the side missing the atoms, preferably in a stable molecule. Luckily, CO2 contains exactly 1 C, and 2 O s, and is quite stable. So, a "CO2" has to be added on the left

Are metal and non-metal elements typically ionically bonded? Explain.

victus00 [196]

Answer: Yes, metals and non-metals forms ionic bonds.

Explanation:

Ionic bond is defined as the bond which is formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.

The atom which looses the electron is known as electropositive atom and the atom which gains the electron is known as electronegative atom. This bond is usually formed between a metal and a non-metal.

For Example: Formation of sodium chloride

Sodium is a metal and is the 11th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^1$

To form $Na^{+}$ ion, this element will loose 1 electron.

Chlorine is a non-metal and is the 17th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^23p^5$ .

To form $Cl^{-}$ ion, this element will gain 1 electron.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the compound formed between sodium and chlorine atom is NaCl

Hence, metals and non-metals forms ionic bonds.

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

5. All of the above.

Explanation:

Energy can be extracted from water by gravitational force as done in hydroelectric plants, temperature gradients that creates natural convection processes, the mechanical variations of ocean currents and surface waves, and by nuclear fussion.

What evidence have you discovered to explain how a wave interacts with matter?

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Three ways that waves may interact with matter are reflection, refraction, and diffraction. Reflection occurs when waves bounce back from a surface that they cannot pass through. Refraction occurs when waves bend as they enter a new medium at an angle and start traveling at a different speed.

A student distills a sample of ink. Devise a simple method to show that the liquid collected is pure water. Include the expected

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Distillation

Explanation:

Water vaporizes at lower temperature than the ink pigment so if you heat them, the water evaporates, leaving the ink pigment in the flask
