Conversion of mole to grams
k in mole = 1 mole/ atomic mass
K in mole =1/ 39.0983 g/mole
                = 0.255765 g/mole
converting 40 grams of K
 K 40 grams x [ 1 mole/ 39.0983 grams] = 1.0230623 mole
There are 1.0230623 moles of K in 40 K of Potassium

Answer : The moles of potassium is 1.02\times 10^{-3}mol

Explanation : Given,

Mass of potassium = 40 mg = 0.04 g

conversion used : 1 mg = 0.001 g

Molar mass of potassium = 39 g/mol

Now we have to calculate the moles of potassium.

Formula used :

\text{Moles of potassium}=\frac{\text{Mass of potassium}}{\text{Molar mass of potassium}}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

\text{Moles of potassium}=\frac{0.04g}{39g/mol}=1.02\times 10^{-3}mol

Therefore, the moles of potassium is 1.02\times 10^{-3}mol

1. How is different kind of molecules different? And similar?
dexar [7]

Answer:

1.Molecules are made of atoms. So different molecules can have different (or same) number of atoms they are made of.Different atoms are made of different number of protons of neutrons in the nucleus (also electrons around the nucleus but they are very small even compared to atom and don’t add up for volume or mass) therefore their radius and mass are different.

2.Chromatography works because of differences in the properties of molecules in materials.some molecules differ in shape and size. These differences in molecular properties allow scientists to separate compounds into individual molecules using chromatography.

Which atomic property is different in each isotope of an element?
Valentin [98]
Every isotope of an element has a different number of neutrons, which means that the atomic property which is different in each isotope of an element is mass number.
Mass number depends on the number of neutrons in an element.
