6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Ground state electron configuration of potassium (K) is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1. The valency of the element is determined by electron configuration in the excited state. This electron configuration shows that the last shell of the potassium atom has an unpaired electron (4s1). So the valency of potassium is 1.

Hoochie [10]
First we need to know that the boiling point of water in C is 100 and we just need to solve for x in the equation:

-33.75-(-77.75) / 100 = 100-(-77.75) / x
44.4/100 = 177.75 / x
 x = 177.75*100/44.4 = 400.33

The boiling point of water in ∘a would be 400.33∘a.
