Explanation:
Cations are positively charged ions with fewer electrons than protons. To partake in reaction, metals lose electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration. It has lost valence electrons and wold have a positive charge associated with it.
Potassium is a group 1 element. A metal.
Potassium has 1 valence electron so it loses the valence electron to form a stable octet.
A potassium ion has a positive charge and therefore cannot be an anion but is a cation.
The group number pretty much denotes the number of valence electrons.
Group 1 = 1
Group 2 = 2
Group 17 = 7
Group 18 = 8
Answer:
A solution is made by dissolving 4.87 g of potassium nitrate in water to a final volume of 86.4 mL solution. The weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute is :
<u>2.67%</u>
Explanation:
Note : Look at the density of potassium nitrate in water if given in the question.
<u><em>You are calculating </em></u><u><em>weight /Volume</em></u><u><em> not weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute</em></u>
Here the <u>weight/weight % or percent by mass</u> of the solute is asked : So first convert the<u> VOLUME OF SOLUTION into MASS</u>
Density of potassium nitrate in water KNO3 = 2.11 g/mL
Density = 2.11 g/mL
Volume of solution = 86.4 mL
Mass of Solute = 4.87 g
Mass of Solution = 183.2 g
w/w% of the solute =
w/w%=2.67%
Answer:
I think its C I am sorry if I am wrong
Fungus aren’t plants
Also this is what I found in the internet: „Ferns are plants. They look quite similar with lichens (e.g. Lobaria sp.) and like fungi, they bear spores underneath the fronds. However, ferns do not get nourishment from decaying matter ( some fungi species does) but undergoes photosynthesis like other plants.“
