Maurinko [17]3 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.

Answer:

7.1

Explanation:

equation to calculate pH is

pH=-Log_{10}(a_{H^+})=-Log_{10}(8*10^-8) = -Log_{10}(8)-Log_{10}(10^{-8})=-0.9+8=7.1

If a gas has a volume of 1000 ML at a temperature of 23°C and a pressure of 100 mmhg, what is it’s volume under standard conditi
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

119.7 mL.

Explanation:

  • From the general law of ideal gases:

<em>PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas.

V is the volume of the container.

n is the no. of moles of the gas.

R is the general gas constant.

T is the temperature of the gas (K).

  • For the same no. of moles of the gas at two different (P, V, and T):

<em>P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂.</em>

  • P₁ = 100.0 mmHg, V₁ = 1000.0 mL, T₁ = 23°C + 273 = 296 K.
  • P₂ = 1.0 atm = 760.0 mmHg (standard P), V₂ = ??? mL, T₂ = 0.0°C + 273 = 273.0 K (standard T).

<em>∴ V₂ = (P₁V₁T₂)/(T₁P₂) </em>= (100.0 mmHg)(1000.0 mL)(273.0 K)/(296 K)(760.0 mmHg) =  121.4 <em>mL.</em>

According to the kinetic molecular theory, temperature is directly proportional
rjkz [21]

Answer:

According to Kinetic Molecular theory, Temperature is directly proportional to the Average Kinetic energy of a molecules.

Explanation:

If the mass of the particles in a container is constant, then its moving molecules cause the gas gets warmer. On collision of molecules, Kinetic energy of molecules get high, so as a result, temperature gets high.

Fast moving of particles increases the temperature.
