The answer is 2.58 moles potassium
The solution to this is,
to find moles, convert grams to mole by the equation
grams(mole/gram)=moles
101. g of potassium(1 mole potassium/39.10 g potassium)=2.58 moles potassium

Answer:

101 g of Potassium is equivalent to 2.583 moles of Potassium.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per definition of moles, molecular weight of a substance = 1 mole

So molecular weight of Potassium = 39.0983 g

∵ 39.0983 g weight of Potassium = 1 mole

∴ 1 g weight of Potassium = $\frac{1}{39.0983}$ g

∴ 101 g of Potassium = $\frac{101}{39.0983}$ g

= 2.583 moles

Therefore, 101 g of Potassium is equivalent to 2.583 moles of Potassium.

you want to mail a gift that is in the shape of a rectangular prism with the dimensions 25 cm by 32 CM by 40 cm .what is the min

Mkey [24]

Check the picture below.

notice, the gift box is just 6 rectangles stacked up to each other at the edges,

left and right, two rectangles of 32x40

top and bottom, two rectangles of 25x32

front and back, two rectangles of 25x40

so, just get the area of all 6 rectangles, add them up, and that's the "surface area" of the rectangular prism, and that's how much paper will be needed to cover it.
