How many electrons would Potassium with a +2 charge have?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dennis_Churaev [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

17 electrons

Potassium normally has 19 electrons but the +2 implies that Potassium lost 2 electrons making the total be 17 electrons

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Here's what I find.

Explanation:

Iodine-131

Iodine-131 is both a beta emitter and a gamma emitter.

_{53}^{131}\text{I}\longrightarrow \, _{54}^{131}\text{Xe} +\, _{-1}^{0}\text{e} +\, _{0}^{0}\gamma

About 90 % of the energy is β-radiation and 10 % is γ-radiation. Both forms are highly energetic.

The main danger is from ingestion. The iodine concentrates in thyroid gland, where the β-radiation destroys cells up to 2 mm from the tissues that absorbed it.

Both the β- and γ-radiation cause cell mutations that can later become cancerous. Small doses, such as those absorbed from the nuclear disasters in the Ukraine and Japan, can cause cancers years after the original iodine has disappeared.

Plutonium-239

Plutonium-239 is an alpha emitter.

_{94}^{239}\text{U} \longrightarrow \, _{92}^{235}\text{Xe} + \, _{2}^{4}\text{He}

Alpha particles cannot penetrate the skin, so external exposure isn't much of a health risk.

However, they are extremely dangerous when they are inhaled and get inside cells. They travel first to the blood or lymph system and later to the bone marrow and liver, where they cause up to 1000 times more chromosomal damage than beta or gamma rays.

It takes about 20 years for plutonium to be eliminated from the liver around 50 years for from the skeleton, so it has a long time to cause damage.

How many moles of ethane (C2H6) would be needed to react with 62.3 grams of oxygen gas?
Vladimir [108]
Note that it says oxygen "gas"
So you need the atomic mass of oxygen gas

Look at your periodic table, you'll see 15.9994 under oxygen
Oxygen gas has a formula of O2 therefore,
(15.9994) times 2= Oxygen gas atomic mass=31.9988

Mol= Mass/Atomic Mass
=62.3 g/ 31.9988 g/mol = 1.95 mol

now look at the ratio of C2H6 and O2, notice there is an invisible number beside each of them, at that "invisible number" is =1

1 C2H6 + 1 O2 -> products

this means that for 1 mol of C2H6, 1 mol of O2 has to react with it

Thus as we have 1.95 moles of O2, we need 1.95 moles of C2H6

hat is the percentage of water in the following compound? Answer using three significant figures. Sodium carbonate decahydrate,
BigorU [14]
You need to find the whole molar mass of the compound using the periodic table to add the values. 

Na2CO3= (2 x 23.0) + 12.0 + (3 x 16.0)= 106 g/mol
H2O= 10 x [ (2 x 1.01 ) + (16.0) ]= 180.2 g/mol

the total molar mass is 106 + 180.2 = 286.2 g/mol

the percentage of water you can find by doing "parts over the whole"

H2O%= 180.2 / 286.2 X 100= 63.0%
