Answer:
Number of Protons = 19
Number of Neutrons = 25
Number of Electrons = 19
Explanation:
Number of Protons:
The number of protons present in any atom are equal to the atomic number of that particular atom. Hence, as the atomic number of Potassium is 19 therefore, it contains 19 protons.
Number Neutrons:
The number of neutrons present in atom are calculated as,
# of Neutrons = Atomic Mass - # of protons
As given,
Atomic Mass = 43
# of Protons = 19
So,
# of Neutrons = 43 - 19
# of Neutrons = 24
Number of Electrons:
As we know for a neutral atom the number of electrons are exactly equal to the number of protons present in its nucleus. So, for 19 protons in neutral Potassium atom there must be 19 electrons.
Climate change has always happened on Earth, which is clearly seen in the geological record; it is the rapid rate and the magnitude of climate change occurring now that is of great concern worldwide. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb heat radiation. Human activity has increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution, leading to more heat retention and an increase in surface temperatures. Atmospheric aerosols alter climate by scattering and absorbing solar and infrared radiation and they may also change the microphysical and chemical properties of clouds. Finally, land-use changes, such as deforestation have led to changes in the amount of sunlight reflected from the ground back into space (the surface albedo). It may seem counterintuitive, but
more snowfall during winter storms
is an expected outcome of climate
change. That's because a warmer
planet is evaporating more water
into the atmosphere. That added
moisture means more precipitation
in the form of heavy snowfall or
downpours.
During warmer months, this can
cause record-breaking floods. But
during the winter - when our part
of the world is tipped away from
the sun - temperatures drop, and
instead of downpours we can get
massive winter storms.
Answer:
Number of moles of Fe = 10 mol
Number of moles of CO₂ = 15 mol
Explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles of iron oxide = 5 mol
Number of moles of carbon monoxide = 25 mol
Number of moles of product = ?
Solution:
Fe₂O₃ + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO₂
Now we will compare the moles of reactant with product.
Fe₂O₃ : Fe
1 : 2
5 : 2×5 = 10 mol
Fe₂O₃ : CO₂
1 : 3
5 : 3×5 = 15 mol
CO : Fe
3 : 2
25 : 2/3×25 = 16.7 mol
CO : CO₂
3 : 3
25 : 25
Less number of moles of Fe and CO₂ are formed by iron oxide thus it will act as limiting reactant while CO is inn excess.
