What is the chemical formula of the ionic compound that forms from potassium and bromine?

solution:

This is an example of a binary salt. A binary salt is composed of one cation (+ charged ion) and one anion (- charged ion). Cations are usually elements of first group of the periodic table and anions are usually elements of 17th group of the periodic table. All the cations of the elements of the first group of the periodic table take the charge of 1+. Remember that a molecule has no charge, so if K(potassium) is the cation and has a charge of +1, the anion must have a charge of -1. Thus, the ionic compound formed when potassium and bromine combine is KBr.

KBr is an example of this. In order for K to lose all of its outer shell electrons, you must trace your finger from K, and go left. Nothing there! K, Potassium only has one electron in its outer shell to give away. After giving the electron away, K looks externally (in terms of electrons) like Argon (a noble gas).

Now, let's look at Br. We go right, because that is the closest way to get to the noble gases, and so have a complete outer shell with no extras (called valence electrons) to react with. Br needs exactly one electron.

Therefore, pairing K and Br results in a stable state where K donates and completely gives Br an electron, making K now positively charged (lost an electron) and Br negatively charged (gained one). This electron transfer forms an ionic bond because opposite charges attract.

Which element is considered the foundation for making organic compounds
Rasek [7]

Answer: Carbon

Explanation: Organic compounds are those made by carbon atoms that link to other carbon or elements such as nitrogen, hydrogen or oxygen with covalent bonds.

The presence of these compounds were associated with living things, because most of them are produced by plants or animals. However nowdays substances like polymers and other synthetically made molecules can also be considered as organic since they are made of carbon.

What evidence of a chemical reaction might you see in the following cases?
Ad libitum [116K]
For bleaching a stain, there will be an identifiable odor and it will easily absorb colors and/or stains. Burning a match also has odor involved, but the smoke that is released is from a hot fire that is chemically produced by the formula to make the tip of the match.

THIS IS URGENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

1- 1.54 mol.

2- 271.9 kPa.

3- Yes, the tires will burst.

4- 235.67 kPa.

5- As, the temperature increased, the no. of molecules that has minimum kinetic energy increases as shown in image 1 that represents the Maxwell’s Distribution of Speeds of molecules. "Kindly, see the explanation and the attached images".

<em>Explanation:</em>

<em>Q1- How many moles of nitrogen gas are in each tire?  </em>

  • To calculate the no. of moles of nitrogen gas in each tire, we can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.

where, P is the pressure of the nitrogen gas (P = 247.0 kPa/101.325 = 2.44 atm),

V is the volume of the nitrogen gas (V = 15.2 L),

n is the no. of moles of the nitrogen gas (n = ??? mole),

R is the general gas constant (R = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K),

T is the temperature of the nitrogen gas (T = 21°C + 273 = 294 K).

∴ n = PV/RT = (2.44 atm)(15.2 L)/(0.082 L/atm/mol.K)(294.0 K) = 1.54 mol.

<em>Q2: What would the maximum tire pressure be at 50 degrees C?  </em>

  • Now, the temperature is raised to be 50°C (T = 50°C + 273 = 323 K).
  • The pressure can be calculated using the general gas law: PV = nRT.

<em>∴ P = nRT/V </em>= (1.54 atm)(0.082 L/atm/mol.K)(323.0 K)/(15.2 L) = 2.68 atm = <em>271.9 kPa.</em>

<em>Q3: Will the tires burst in Moses Lake? Explain.</em>

  • <em>Yes,</em> the tires will burst because the internal pressure be 271.9 kPa that exceeds 270 kPa, the pressure above which the tires will burst.

<em>Q4: If you must let nitrogen gas out of the tire before you go, to what pressure must you reduce the tires before you start your trip? (Assume no significant change in tire volume.)  </em>

  • To get the pressure that we must begin with:
  • Firstly, we should calculate the no. of moles at:

T = 55°C + 273 = 328 K,

Pressure = 270 kPa (the pressure above which the tires will burst). (P =270 kPa/101.325 = 2.66 atm).

V = 15.2 L, as there is no significant change in tire volume.

∴ n = PV/RT = (2.66 atm)(15.2 L)/(0.082 L.atm/mol.K)(328 K) = 1.5 mol.

  • 1.5562 moles of N₂ in the tires will give a pressure of 270 kPa at 55°C, so this is the minimum moles of N₂ that will make the tires burst.
  • Now, we can enter this number of moles into the original starting conditions to tell us what pressure the tires will be at if we start with this number of moles of N₂.

P = ???  

V = 15.6 L.

n = 1.5 mol

T = 21°C + 273 = 294.0 K  

R = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K.

∴ P = nRT/V = (1.5 mol x 0.082 x 294.0 K) / (15.6 L) = 2.2325 atm = 235.67 kPa.

<em>So, the starting pressure needs to be 235.67 kPa or just under in order for the tires not to burst.</em>

<em />

<em>Q5: Create a drawing of the tire and show a molecular view of the air molecules in the tire at 247 kpa vs the molecular view of the air molecules after the tires have been heated. Be mindful of the number of molecules that you use in your drawing in the before and after scenarios. Use a caption to describe the average kinetic energy of the molecules in both scenarios.</em>

<em />

  • As, the temperature increased, the no. of molecules that has minimum kinetic energy increases as shown in “image 1” that represents the Maxwell’s Distribution of Speeds of molecules.
  • The no. of molecules that possess a critical K.E. of molecules increases due to increasing the temperature activate the motion of molecules with high velocity as
  • (K.E. = 3RT/2), K.E. directly proportional to the temperature of the molecules (see image 2).
  • Also, the average speed of molecules increases as the K.E of the molecules increases (see image 3).
