5 0

Potassium can form so many compounds.
I will write important ones which you will surely come across in future only if you take Chemistry

1. KMnO4

It is a widely used oxidising titrant. It acts as self indicator for end point detection and is a very strong oxidant.

2. KNO3

In galvanic cell, salt bridge(a U shaped glass tube filled with a concentrated solution of electrolyte usually KNO3) is used a bridge between two concentrated solutions.

3. KCl

Again same as 2 ^.^

4. KOH

It is alkaline in nature and can be easily formed in laboratory

5. K2S2O8

Alkaline potassium persulphate (K2S2O8) is used to oxidise monohydric phenols to dihydric phenols.

A spherical shell with a net charge of 3Q surrounds a point charge of -q at the center of the shell. The charges on the inner an

Answer:

1) The charge on the outer shell is +4·Q

2) The charge on the inner shell is +Q

Explanation:

1) The given parameters of the spherical shell are;

The net charge on the spherical shell = 3·Q

The point charge surrounded by the spherical shell = -Q

Let 'x' represent the charge on the outer shell, and let 'y', represent the charge on the inner shell, we have;

The net charge, 3·Q = -q + x

∴ x = 3·Q + Q = 4·Q

The charge on the outer shell, x = 4·Q

2) The net charge in the shell is zero, therefore, the charge on the inner shell, 'y', is given as follows;

-Q + y = 0

∴ y = +Q

The charge on the inner shell, y = +Q

Squids and octopuses propel themselves by expelling water. They do this by keeping water in a cavity and then suddenly contracti

liq [111]

Answer:

The speed of water must be expelled at 6.06 m/s

Explanation:

Neglecting any drag effects of the surrounding water we can assume the linear momentum in this case is conserves, that is, the total initial momentum of the octopus and the water kept in it cavity should be equal to the total final linear momentum. That's known as conservation of momentum, mathematically expressed as:

$p_f=p_i$

with Pi the total initial momentum and Pf the final total momentum. The total momentum is the sum of the momentums of the individual objects, in our case the octopus and the mass of water that will be expelled:

$p_{of}+p_{wf}=p_{oi}+p_{wi}$
