If the spheres represent a potassium atom and a potassium ion, which best represents the ion?

If the potassium ions were represented by spheres, the smaller one is the ion and the bigger one is the (neutral) atom.

Generally, metallic atoms (such as potassium) readily form cations (positively-charged ions) by losing electrons in their outer shells. By losing these electrons, the atoms are expected to be smaller in size. However for nonmetals, they readily gain electrons to form anions (negatively-charged ions). By gaining these electrons in their outer orbital shells, the ions generally then becomes larger.

34. 3.15 mol of an unknown solid is placed into enough water to make 150.0 mL of solution. The solution's temperature increases
Digiron [165]

Answer:

ΔH = 2.68kJ/mol

Explanation:

The ΔH of dissolution of a reaction is defined as the heat produced per mole of reaction. We have 3.15 moles of the solid, to find the heat produced we need to use the equation:

q = m*S*ΔT

<em>Where q is heat of reaction in J,</em>

<em>m is the mass of the solution in g,</em>

<em>S is specific heat of the solution = 4.184J/g°C</em>

<em>ΔT is change in temperature = 11.21°C</em>

The mass of the solution is obtained from the volume and the density as follows:

150.0mL * (1.20g/mL) = 180.0g

Replacing:

q = 180.0g*4.184J/g°C*11.21°C

q = 8442J

q = 8.44kJ when 3.15 moles of the solid react.

The ΔH of the reaction is:

8.44kJ/3.15 mol

= 2.68kJ/mol
