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.

Explain why the following chemical equation represents a Lewis acid-base reaction. H+ + NH3 —>NH4+
lozanna [386]

Answer:

Due to an electron-pair acceptor and donor.

Explanations:

<em><u>Lewis acid</u></em> can be defined as an electron-pair acceptor. An example is Hydrogen ion(H+). This is because it is a proton and it distributes positive charge which means that it accepts electrons(negative charge).

<em><u>Lewis base</u></em> can be defined as an electron-pair donor. This is because it donates electrons to be accepted by the proton. An example is ammonia(NH3).

Calculate how many grams of o2(g) can be produced from heating 87.4 grams of kclo3(s).
Rufina [12.5K]
<span>34.2 grams Lookup the atomic weights of the involved elements Atomic weight potassium = 39.0983 Atomic weight Chlorine = 35.453 Atomic weight Oxygen = 15.999 Molar mass KClO3 = 39.0983 + 35.453 + 3 * 15.999 = 122.5483 g/mol Moles KClO3 = 87.4 g / 122.5483 g/mol = 0.713188188 mol The balanced equation for heating KClO3 is 2 KClO3 = 2 KCl + 3 O2 So 2 moles of KClO3 will break down into 3 moles of oxygen molecules. 0.713188188 mol / 2 * 3 = 1.069782282 mols So we're going to get 1.069782282 moles of oxygen molecules. Since each molecule has 2 atoms, the mass will be 1.069782282 * 2 * 15.999 = 34.23089345 grams Rounding the results to 3 significant figures gives 34.2 grams</span>

Calculate the amount of heat deposited on the skin of a person burned by 1.00g of steam at 100.0C. Skin temperature is 37C. ΔHva
seraphim [82]

The amount of heat deposited on the skin is 2.26 kJ.

<h3>What is the amount of heat given off by 1.0 g of steam?</h3>

The amount of heat given off by steam is determined using the formula below:

Quantity of heat = mass * latent heat of vaporization.

Moles of steam = 1.0/18

Heat = 1.0/18 * 40.7

Heat deposited = 2.26 kJ

In conclusion, the quantity of heat is determined from the latent heat of vaporization and the moles of steam.

What is the molality of a solution in which 0.42 moles aluminum chloride has been dissolved in 4200 water ?
madreJ [45]

Answer:

0.1 M

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Molarity refers to the concentration of a solution in moles per liter.
  • It is calculated by dividing the number of moles of solute by the volume of solvent;
  • Molarity = Moles of the solute ÷ Volume of the solvent

<u>In this case, we are given;</u>

  • Number of moles of the solute, NH₄Cl as 0.42 moles
  • Volume of the solvent, water as 4200 mL or 4.2 L

Therefore;

Molarity = 0.42 moles ÷ 4.2 L

            = 0.1 mol/L or 0.1 M

Thus, the molarity of the solution will be 0.1 M

Explain the similarities and differences between putting a beaker of ethanoic acid in the refrigerator and mixing it with sodium
frez [133]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

When a beaker of ethanoic acid is placed in the refrigerator, its temperature drops and the vessel feels cool.

Now, when we mix ethanoic acid and sodium carbonate, an endothermic reaction occurs, fizzing is observed as carbon dioxide is given off and heat is lost to the surroundings causing the reaction vessel to feel cool to touch.

The difference between putting ethanoic acid in the refrigerator and adding  sodium carbonate to the solution is that, in the former, no new substance is formed. The substance remains ethanoic acid when retrieved from the refrigerator. In the later case, new substances are formed. The substance is no more ethanoic acid because a chemical reaction has taken place.
