ANSWER

2 valence electrons

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

The electronic configuration is given below as

1s^22s^22p^62s^23p^64s^2

Looking at the configuration, you will see that the last energy carries 2 electrons

Hence, the valence electrons are 2

Two samples of potassium iodide are decomposed into their constituent elements. The first sample produced 13.0 g of potassium an
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

79.4 kg

Explanation:

The formula for potassium iodide is:-

KI

This means that they are present in the same mole ration, i.e. 1 : 1

Also for 2 samples, the ratio of the masses must be equal .

So,

\frac{Mass\ of\ potassium\ in\ sample\ 1}{Mass\ of\ Iodine\ in\ sample\ 1}=\frac{Mass\ of\ potassium\ in\ sample\ 2}{Mass\ of\ Iodine\ in\ sample\ 2}

Thus,

Mass of potassium in sample 1 = 13.0 g

Mass of Iodine in sample 1 = 42.3 g

Mass of potassium in sample 2 = 24.4 kg

Applying in the above formula, we get that:-

\frac{13.0\ g}{42.3\ g}=\frac{24.4\ kg}{Mass\ of\ Iodine\ in\ sample\ 2}

Mass of iodine in sample 2 = 79.4 kg

Name the mineral group for each of the following minerals: Group of answer choices Kyanite (Al2SiO5) Ilmenite (FeTiO3) Rhodochro
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Kyanite (Al2SiO5) - silicate

Ilmenite (FeTiO3) - Oxides

Rhodochrosite (MnCO3) - carbonate

Celestite (SrSO4) - sulphate

Chalcocite (Cu2S) -  sulphide

Explanation:

Minerals are classified according to their chemical composition. For example those that hve the CO32- ion are called carbonates and those with the SO42- ion are called sulphates while the ones with S2- ion are called sulphides

A laser used to read CDs emits red light of wavelength 700 nm. How many photons does it emit each second if its power is?(a) 0.1
Elenna [48]

power = work/time

watt = joule/sec

a) power = 0.10 watt = 0.1joules/sec

work = power * time

= 0.10 * 1 =0.1joules

work is northing but energy

therefore energy is 0.1joules

according to planks quantum theory E = nhν where nis the no. of photons ; h is planks constant; ν isfrequency

hence, n = E/hν

or n = Eλ/hc (ν = c/λ)

n = (0.1*700*10^-9)/6.625*10^-34*3*10^8 = 0.3522*10^18photons

b) similar to the above calculation

here E = 1.0joules

n = (1.0*700*10^-9)/6.625*10^-34*3*10^8 = 0.3522*10^17photons

Relate the strength of a weak acid to the strength of a conjugate base.
Elenna [48]

Answer:

There is a relationship between the strength of an acid (or base) and the strength of its conjugate base (or conjugate acid): The stronger the acid, the weaker its conjugate base.  The weaker the acid, the stronger its conjugate base.  The stronger the base, the weaker its conjugate acid.

explanation

The strength of an acid and a base is determined by how completely they dissociate in water. Strong acids (like stomach acid) break down or dissociate in water. Weak acids maintains their protons in water.
