Answer;

-4. metallic, because the valance electrons are mobile

Explanation;

-Electrical conductivity in metals is a result of the movement of electrically charged particles.The atoms of metal elements are characterized by the presence of valence electrons (electrons in the outer shell of an atom) that are free to move about.

-Therefore; Metallic elements such as sodium and potassium conducts electricity in solid form due to the presence of delocalized valence electrons. These electrons can move freely within the structure of a metal when an electric current is applied.

Doss [256]

Answer:

C6H14O3F

Explanation:

The first step is to divide each compound by its molecular weight

Carbon

= 39.10/12

= 3.258

Hydrogen

= 7.67/1

= 7.67

Oxygen

= 26.11/16

= 1.63

Phosphorous

= 16.82/31

= 0.542

Flourine

= 10.30/19

= 0.542

The next step is to divide by the lowes value

3.258/0.542

= 6 mol of C

7.67/0.542

= 14 mol of H

1.63/0.542

= 3 mol of O

0.542/0.542

= 1 mol of P

0.542/0.542

= 1 mol of F

Hence the molecular formula is C6H14O3F

Using any data you can find in the ALEKS Data resource, calculate the equilibrium constant K at 30.0 °C for the following reacti

gayaneshka [121]

Answer : The value of $K$ for this reaction is, $2.6\times 10^{15}$

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction is:

$CH_3OH(g)+CO(g)\rightarrow HCH_3CO_2(g)$

Now we have to calculate value of $(\Delta G^o)$ .

$\Delta G^o=G_f_{product}-G_f_{reactant}$

$\Delta G^o=[n_{HCH_3CO_2(g)}\times \Delta G^0_{(HCH_3CO_2(g))}]-[n_{CH_3OH(g)}\times \Delta G^0_{(CH_3OH(g))}+n_{CO(g)}\times \Delta G^0_{(CO(g))}]$

where,

$\Delta G^o$ = Gibbs free energy of reaction = ?

n = number of moles

$\Delta G^0_{(HCH_3CO_2(g))}$ = -389.8 kJ/mol

$\Delta G^0_{(CH_3OH(g))}$ = -161.96 kJ/mol

$\Delta G^0_{(CO(g))}$ = -137.2 kJ/mol

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$\Delta G^o=[1mole\times (-389.8kJ/mol)]-[1mole\times (-163.2kJ/mol)+1mole\times (-137.2kJ/mol)]$

$\Delta G^o=-89.4kJ/mol$

The relation between the equilibrium constant and standard Gibbs, free energy is:

$\Delta G^o=-RT\times \ln K$

where,

$\Delta G^o$ = standard Gibbs, free energy = -89.4 kJ/mol = -89400 J/mol

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/L.atm

T = temperature = $30.0^oC=273+30.0=303K$

$K$ = equilibrium constant = ?

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$-89400J/mol=-(8.314J/L.atm)\times (303K)\times \ln K$

$K=2.6\times 10^{15}$

Thus, the value of $K$ for this reaction is, $2.6\times 10^{15}$

The definition of a gem is "a precious stone, cut and polished for jewelry. They are all minerals. Some highly desirable gemstones may not be suitable for jewelry, yet be very collectible, like sphene. Others, like those in the corundum family, are prized for color and hardness, like emeralds and diamonds. Further, some common minerals, when polished, make beautiful pieces.

Answer:

Potassium (K) has 19 protons.

Each neutral atom of Potassium has 19 electrons.

Explanation:

A) Potassium has 19 protons because the atomic number tells us how many protons are in an atom of the element. (The atomic number is the number above the element symbol. For example, the number above "K" is 19, which is the atomic number).

B) If an atom is neutral, this means that the atom has neutral energy. Protons give positive energy and electrons give negative energy. For the atom to be neutral, the atom must have balanced energy, therefore, making the number of electrons equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom.
