Vlada [557]

Answer:  K only has 1 valence electron.  It will leave with only a little effort, leaving behind a positively charged K^+1 atom.

Explanation:  A neutral potassium atom has 19 total electrons.  But only 1 of them is in potassium's valence shell.  Valence shell means the outermost s and p orbitals.  Potasium's electron configuration is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^1.  The 4s orbital is the only orbital in the 4th energy level.  So it has a valency of 1.  This means this electron will be the most likely to leave, since it is the lone electron in the oyutermost energy level (4).  When that electron leaves, the charge on the atom go up by 1.  The atom now has a full valence shell of 3s^2 3p^6, the same as argon, Ar.

Answer:

Halophile.

Explanation:

Halophile microorganisms are microorganisms that  require very large amounts of NaCl. If the concentration of NaCl is very little, there will be no growth. Ih this case, given that it grows between 5% and 15%, it can be considered a moderate halophile.

How many atoms are in a 1.8 mol sample of Magnesium (Mg)?
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

1.1 × 10²⁴ atoms Mg

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Atomic Structure</u>

  • Moles
  • Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

<u>Stoichiometry</u>

  • Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

[Given] 1.8 mol Mg

[Solve] atoms Mg

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. [DA] Set up:                                                                                                       \displaystyle 1.8 \ mol \ Mg(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ atoms \ Mg}{1 \ mol \ Mg})
  2. [DA] Multiply [Cancel out units]:                                                                      \displaystyle 1.08396 \cdot 10^{24} \ atoms \ Mg

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs.</em>

1.08396 × 10²⁴ atoms Mg ≈ 1.1 × 10²⁴ atoms Mg

Calculate the mass of sodium azide required to decompose and produce 2.104 moles of nitrogen. Refer to the periodic table to get
Alexxx [7]

91 grams of sodium azide required to decompose and produce 2.104 moles of nitrogen.

Explanation:

2NaN3======2Na+3N2

This  is the balanced equation for the decomposition and production of sodium azide required to produce nitrogen.

From the equation:

2 moles of NaNO3 will undergo decomposition to produce 3 moles of nitrogen.

In the question moles of nitrogen produced is given as 2.104 moles

so,

From the stoichiometry,

3N2/2NaN3=2.104/x

= 3/2=2.104/x

3x= 2*2.104

   = 1.4 moles

So, 1.4 moles of sodium azide will be required to decompose to produce 2.104 moles of nitrogen.

From the formula

no of moles=mass/atomic mass

        mass=no of moles*atomic mass

                   1.4*65

               = 91 grams of sodium azide required to decompose and produce 2.104 moles of nitrogen.
