Maurinko [17]4 years ago
7 0
Potassium’s atomic number in periodic table is 19, Potassium can only have a mass numbers of 41, 40 and 39. Potassium 39, 40, and 41 are all different isotopes of the element potassium. Each of the isotopes has 19 electrons and 19 protons but the number of neutrons vary. So, in your question Potassium-39 has twenty (20) neutrons, and potassium-40 has 21 neutrons.

How many liters of H2(g) at STP are produced per gram of Al(s) consumed in the following reaction? 2Al(s)+6HCl(aq)→2AlCl3(aq)+3H
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

1.24 L of H₂ at STP .

Explanation:

2Al(s)    +6HCl(aq)    →    2AlCl₃(aq)   +    3H₂(g)

2 moles                                                  3 x 22.4 L

2 x 27 g of Al reacts to give  3 x 22.4 L of H₂ at STP .

1 g of Al will react to give 3 x 22.4 / ( 2 x 27 ) L of H₂ at STP .

= 1.24 L of H₂ at STP .

What is the relationship between a front and cloud formation?
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Cold air is more dense than warm air, so when a warm air mass meets a cold air mass, the cold air ends up below the warm air. Once the air has risen, it cools and clouds can form. Weather fronts can cause clouds to form.

How is the mass of 1 mole of an element determined
Tatiana [17]

One mole (abbreviated mol) is equal to 6.022×1023 molecular entities (Avogadro's number), and each element has a different molar mass depending on the weight of 6.022×1023 of its atoms (1 mole). The molar mass of any element can be determined by finding the atomic mass of the element on the periodic table.
