Answer: K only has 1 valence electron. It will leave with only a little effort, leaving behind a positively charged K^+1 atom.
Explanation: A neutral potassium atom has 19 total electrons. But only 1 of them is in potassium's valence shell. Valence shell means the outermost s and p orbitals. Potasium's electron configuration is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^1. The 4s orbital is the only orbital in the 4th energy level. So it has a valency of 1. This means this electron will be the most likely to leave, since it is the lone electron in the oyutermost energy level (4). When that electron leaves, the charge on the atom go up by 1. The atom now has a full valence shell of 3s^2 3p^6, the same as argon, Ar.
You’ve not put anything below so I’m not sure what the options are but the relative charge of a proton is +1
Moles of Oxygen= 2.8075 moles
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
29.2 grams of acetylene
Required
moles of Oxygen
Solution
Reaction(Combustion of Acetylene) :
2 C₂H₂ (g) + 5 O₂ (g) ⇒ 4CO₂ (g) + 2H₂O (g)
Mol of Acetylene :
= mass : MW Acetylene
= 29.2 g : 26 g/mol
= 1.123
From equation, mol ratio of Acetylene(C₂H₂) : O₂ = 2 : 5, so mol O₂ :
= 5/2 x mol C₂H₂
= 5/2 x 1.123
= 2.8075 moles
