18 core electrons
and 1 valence electron

<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.

An ionic solid is placed in water. which information is described by the solubility product constant?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{C. the equilibrium between the solid and its ions in solution}}

Explanation:

\rm MX(s) $\, \rightleftharpoons \,$ M$^{+}$(aq) + $^{-}$(aq); $K_{\text{sp}}$ = [M$^{+}$][X$^{-}$]\\\\\text{$K_{\text{sp}}$ gives us information on}\\\\\boxed{\textbf{ the equilibrium between the solid and its ions in solution}}

It tells us nothing about the amount of precipitate that will form or the temperature at which the equilibrium occurs.

How does the air on a hot day compare with the air on a cold day?
MrMuchimi
Air on a hot day translates to hot air and air on a cold day translates to cold air. The hot air usually have more energy due to particles being more excited by the heat.

The freezing-point depression of a 0.100 m MgSO4 solution is 0.225°C. Determine the experimental van't Hoff factor of MgSO4 at t
Andrews [41]

<u>Answer:</u> The experimental van't Hoff factor is 1.21

<u>Explanation:</u>

The expression for the depression in freezing point is given as:

\Delta T_f=iK_f\times m

where,

i = van't Hoff factor = ?

\Delta T_f = depression in freezing point  = 0.225°C

K_f = Cryoscopic constant  = 1.86°C/m

m = molality of the solution = 0.100 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.225^oC=i\times 1.86^oC/m\times 0.100m\\\\i=\frac{0.225}{1.86\times 0.100}=1.21

Hence, the experimental van't Hoff factor is 1.21

Which of the following examples illustrates a number that is correctly rounded to three significant figures?
Naily [24]

Answer:

c. 20.0332 g to 20,0 g

Explanation:

A significant figure is each of the digits of a number that are used to express it to the required degree of accuracy, starting from the first non-zero digit, with the exception of the trailing zeros.

<em>Which of the following examples illustrates a number that is correctly rounded to three significant figures? </em>

a. 109 526 g to 109 500 g. NO. The rounded number has 4 significant figures: 109 500.

b. 0.03954 g to 0.040 g. NO. The rounded number has 2 significant figures:  0.040.

c. 20.0332 g to 20.0 g. YES. The rounded number has 3 significant figures:  20.0.

d. 04.05438 g to 4.054 g. NO. The rounded number has 4 significant figures: 4.054.

e. 103.692 g to 103.7g. NO. The rounded number has 4 significant figures: 103.7.
