Potassium is never found free in nature but is found in the form of its ore called potash.

Potash is mined from naturally occurring ore bodies that were formed as sea water evaporated. Potash ores are found as salts of chlorine (potassium chloride) or sulphate (potassium sulphate) in salt deposits in some sedimentary basins. Potash can be mined using several techniques.

The ore is crushed, cleaned and further processed to separate the potash from impurities such as clay.

Potassium metal is then obtained by separating it from its salts (potassium chloride or potassium sulphate) through the process of electrolysis.

What is known about a reaction with a positive enthalpy?
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

"Endothermic reaction: In an endothermic reaction, the products are higher in energy than the reactants. Therefore, the change in enthalpy is positive, and heat is absorbed from the surroundings of the reaction."

A compound has an empirical formula of CHBr2. If it’s molar mass is 345.6 grams, what is it’s molecular formula
djyliett [7]

Answer:

The molecular formula is C2H2Br4

Explanation:

Molar Mass of CHBr2 = 12 + 1 + (2x80) = 12 + 1 + 160 = 173

The molecular formula = n x empirical formula

Molar Mass of the compound = 345.6

Empirical formula = CHBr2

n(CHBr2) = 345.6

n x 173 = 345.6

n = 345.6/173 = 2

Therefore the molecular formula is n(CHBr2) = 2(CHBr2) = C2H2Br4

Draw a Lewis structure and indicate the hybridization for each molecule that contains more than one interior atom. Draw the Lewi
alexdok [17]

Answer:

See figure 1

Explanation:

In this question, we have to remember that each <u>carbon has 4 electrons</u> and each <u>hydrogen has 1 electron</u>. Additionally, the structure proposed have to have <u>8 electrons for each atom</u> <u>(except hydrogen)</u>. With this in mind, we need to have a <u>double bond</u> between the carbons, because in this arrangement each carbon would have 8 electrons <u>(octet rule)</u>.

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

If 0.25 mol of br2 and 0.55 mol of cl2 are introduced into a 3.0-l container at 400 k, what will be the equilibrium concentratio
Vladimir79 [104]
Answer is: <span> the equilibrium concentration of Br</span>₂ is 0,02 mol/L.<span>
</span>Chemical reaction: Br₂ + Cl₂ → 2BrCl.
Kc = 7,0.
c₀(Br₂) = 0,25 mol ÷ 3 L.
c₀(Br₂) = 0,083 mol/L.
c₀(Cl₂) = 0,55 mol ÷ 3 L.
c₀(Cl₂) = 0,183 mol/L.
Kc = c(BrCl)² ÷ c(Br₂) · c(Cl₂).
7 = (2x)² ÷ (0,083 mol/L - x) · (0,183 mol/L - x).
7 = 4x² ÷ (0,083 mol/L - x) · (0,183 mol/L - x).
Solve q<span>uadratic equation: x = 0,063 mol/L.
</span>c(Br₂) = 0,083 mol/L - 0,063 mol/L = 0,02 mol/L.
