<u>Answer:</u> An atom of potassium contains 18 core electrons and 1 valence electrons.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Core electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in the inner shells of an atom.

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in the outermost shell of the atom.

For the given electronic configuration of potassium (K): 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^1

The outermost shell of this configuration is '4s' and rest are considered as inner shells.

Thus, an atom of potassium contains 18 core electrons and 1 valence electrons.

Predict the boiling point of water at a pressure of 1.5 atm.
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

100.8 °C

Explanation:

The Clausius-clapeyron equation is:

ln\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2}} =-Δ\frac{H_{vap}}{r} (\frac{1}{T_{2}}-\frac{1}{T_{1}}  )

Where 'ΔHvap' is the enthalpy of vaporization; 'R' is the molar gas constant (8.314 j/mol); 'T1' is the temperature at the pressure 'P1' and 'T2' is the temperature at the pressure 'P2'

Isolating for T2 gives:

T_{2}=(\frac{1}{T_{1}} -\frac{Rln\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} }{Delta H_{vap}}

(sorry for 'deltaHvap' I can not input symbols into equations)

thus T2=100.8 °C

A student measures the mass of a 10m^3 block of gold to be 500 kg what is the density of the gold
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

d = 50 kg/m³

Explanation:

density = \frac{mass}{volume}

mass = 500 kg

volume = 10m³

\frac{500}{10} = 50

d = 50 kg/m³

This is the process where fossil fuels, forests, or other carbon-containing substances are burned, adding more carbon dioxide to
sattari [20]
The process where fossil fuels, forests, or other carbon-containing substances are burned, addin more carbon dioxide to the air is the combustion.

Some examples of combustion are:

Fossil fuel:

Carbon + O2

C + O2 -> CO2

Forests (wood)

Wood = cellulose = [C6H10O5]n

[C6H10O5]n + 6nO2 = 6n CO2 + 5n H2O

So, in general the combustion of organic matter produces CO2 and water.

if the density of copper is 8.9g/cm^3 and the Volume of the sample is 23.4 mL what would be the mass? ​
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

The mass of copper = 208.26 grams.

Explanation:

Density = mass / volume

8.9 = mass / 23.4

mass = 8.9 * 23.4

= 208.26 grams.
