Two samples of potassium iodide are decomposed into their constituent elements. The first sample produced 13.0g of potassium and

42.3g of iodine. if the second sample produced 24.4kg of potassium, how many kg of iodine were produced?

Answer:

79.43kg

Explanation:

To adequately solve this problem, we should know the law of constant composition. This is a pointer to the fact that no matter the type of sample, the percentage compositions of potassium and iodine still remains the same. We can use these masses to get a formula and we would know the percentage compositions in whatever mass we are dealing with.

First of all, we add the masses in the first sample. 13 + 42.3 = 55.3

Hence, the percentage composition of the potassium is 13/55.3 * 100 = 23.51%

The percentage composition of the iodine is = 100 - 23.51 = 76.49%

Now, we need to get the formula of the compound. We can get this by dividing the percentage compositions with the atomic masses. The atomic mass of potassium and iodine is 39 and 127 respectively.

Potassium = 23.51/39 =0.603

Iodine = 76.49/127 = 0.602

We then divide by the smaller value to get the formula and this shoes our formula is KI

We can see they have a ratio of 1 to 1, meaning one atom of potassium to one atom of iodine. This further confirms the percentage compositions of 23.5 to 76.5

Now to get the mass of iodine yielded, let us say the mass is xkg

This means x/(x + 24.4) * 100 = 76.5

100x = 76.5( x + 24.4)

100x = 76.5x + 1866.6

100x - 76.5x = 1866.6

23.5x = 1866.6

x = 1866.6/23.5 = 79.43kg

Answer:

I believe the answer is the last one answer D: Neutral elements

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are formed through the exchange of valence electrons between atoms, typically a metal and a nonmetal. ... Ionic compounds are typically neutral. Ionic compounds generally form between elements that are metals and elements that are nonmetals.

How do the properties of a compound like h2o or nacl illustrate the concept of emergent properties?
Softa [21]

Answer and explanation;

Na - metal

Cl - poisonous gas

NaCl - cyrstaline solid that is edible

An emergent property is a property which a collection or complex system has, but which the individual members do not.  

Water emergent properties: cohesion & adhesion, versatile solvent, temperature moderation, freezing.

The properties of a compound can be very different from the properties of the elements that make them, for example, Sodium is an explosive metal, and  Chlorine is a toxic gas, however, sodium chloride is a Delicious table salt!
