Potassium is not found  free in nature but is found in the form of potash. Potash is the ore of potassium and this ore is mined from deep down the earth or can sometimes  be found on the surface. Potash was mostly formed as sea water receded and left deposits.

Potash is usually in the form of potassium salts such potassium chloride and  potassium sulphate.  The potash  is mined then taken to the factory where it is crushed and purified  by removing such impurities as clay.

The now purified potassium salts are subjected to a process called electrolysis where  potassium metal is obtained from its salt.

Consider an atom that has an electron in an excited state. The electron falls to a lower energy level. What effect does that hav
irinina [24]

On absorbing energy, an electron moves to an excited state (unstable state) from its ground state (stable state).  Since the electron is in unstable state so it tends to rearrange itself to return to its lowest energy state.  On returning to lowest energy state which is stable, it releases energy in the form of light.

Hence, option A that is the electron releases energy in the form of light on falling to lower energy state from excite state.

Draw the product you expect from the reaction of (s)-3-iodohexane with ch3co2-. be sure to show stereochemistry.
Rasek [7]

This will give substituted product which will be by SN2 mechanism

so here we will get product with inverted geometry

In SN2 mechanism the nucleophile attacks from back side and we always get product with inverted geometry

This is known as Walden inversion.

Where is protective ozone located? Where is harmful ozone located?
hammer [34]

Answer

Ozone occurs both in the Earth's upper atmosphere and at ground level. Ozone can be good or bad, depending on where it is found. Called stratospheric ozone, good ozone occurs naturally in the upper atmosphere, where it forms a protective layer that shields us from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. On the other hand, tropospheric ozone artificialy occurs in the lower atmosphere, where it polluts the air and slowly warms the earth.

Identify and calculate the number of representative particles in 2.15 moles of gold.<br>​
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

1.29 * 10^{24} particles of gold

Explanation:

To convert the number of moles of any substance, in this case gold, you need Avogadro's number.

Avogadro's number is always 6.022 × 10^{23}

2.15 moles Au × \frac{6.022*10^{23} particles}{1 mole Au} = 1.29 * 10^{24} particles of gold
