When potassium forms an ion, it will carry a +1 charge because it lost its electron. Also it is in group one of the periodic table which means it will have a +1 charge.

Two electrons are found in the same atom. One has the quantum number set (2, 1, -1, +½), and the other has the quantum number se
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer is: same orbital, but have different spin directions.

The principal quantum number (n) is one of four quantum numbers which are assigned to each electron in an atom to describe that electron's state.  

For principal quantum number n=2:  

1) azimuthal quantum number (l) can be l = 0...n-1:  

l = 0, 1.  

The azimuthal quantum number determines its orbital angular momentum and describes the shape of the orbital.  

2) magnetic quantum number (ml) can be ml = -l...+l.  

ml = -1, 0,+1.  

Magnetic quantum number specify orientation of electrons in magnetic field and number of electron states (orbitals) in subshells.  

3) the spin quantum number (ms), is the spin of the electron.  

ms = +1/2, -1/2.

How will adding NaCl affect the freezing point of a solution?
lord [1]

Answer is: adding NaCl will lower the freezing point of a solution.

A solution (in this example solution of sodium chloride) freezes at a lower temperature than does the pure solvent (deionized water).

The higher the solute concentration (sodium chloride), freezing point depression of the solution will be greater.

Equation describing the change in freezing point:  

ΔT = Kf · b · i.

ΔT - temperature change from pure solvent to solution.

Kf - the molal freezing point depression constant.

b -  molality (moles of solute per kilogram of solvent).

i - Van’t Hoff Factor.

Dissociation of sodium chloride in water: NaCl(aq) →  Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).

Flura [38]

Answer:  Molarity of Cl^- anions in the chemist's solution is 0.0104 M

Explanation:

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present per liter of the solution.

Formula used :

Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}

where,

n= moles of solute

Moles=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{0.049g}{95g/mol}=5.2\times 10^{-4}moles  

V_s = volume of solution in ml = 100 ml

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

Molarity=\frac{5.2\times 10^{-4}moles\times 1000}{100ml}=5.2\times 10^{-3}mole/L

Therefore, the molarity of solution will be 5.2\times 10^{-3}mole/L

MgCl_2\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2Cl^-

As 1 mole of MgCl_2 gives 2 moles of Cl^-

Thus 5.2\times 10^{-3}  moles of MgCl_2 gives =\frac{2}{1}\times 5.2\times 10^{-3}=0.0104

Thus the molarity of Cl^- anions in the chemist's solution is 0.0104 M
