How many pounds of coal would you have to burn to generate enough heat to boil a 15 l kettle?

Chemistry

Note that
The heating value of standard coal is about 30,080 kJ/kg
1 L of water has a mass of 1.0 kg

The mass of 15 L of water = 15 kg.
The latent heat of vaporization of water is about 2260 kJ/kg,
 The energy required to boil 15 L of water is
(2260 kJ/kg)*(15 kg) = 33900 kJ

The mass of coal required to provide this energy is
(33900 kJ)/(30080 kJ/kg) = 1.127 kg

Because 1 kg = 2.205 lb, the mass of coal required is
(1.127 kg)*(2.205 lb/kg) = 2.485 lb

Answer: 2.49 lb (nearest hundredth)

explain using diagrams how potassium forms the compound potassium flouride when it reacts with flourine
Katarina [22]

Answer:

The answer to your question is given below.

Explanation:

Potassium (K) has 19 electrons with electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8, 1.

Fluorine (F) has 9 electrons with electronic configuration of 2, 7.

Fluorine needs 1 electron to complete it's octet configuration.

Hence, potassium (K), will lose 1 electron to fluorine (F) to form potassium ion (K+) with electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8. The fluorine atom (F) will receive the 1 electron from potassium to form the fluoride ion (F-) with electronic configuration of 2, 8.
