Answer: potassium oxide.

Explanation:

$K_2O$ is an ionic compound because potassium element is a metal and oxygen element is a non-metal. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

Hence, the name of $K_2O$ is potassium oxide.

How many grams od Mg(OH)2 will be needed to neutralize 25 mlod

irina [24]

Answer:

0.0073 g

Explanation:

Considering:

$Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}$

Or,

$Moles =Molarity \times {Volume\ of\ the\ solution}$

Given :

For HCl :

Molarity = 0.010 M

Volume = 25 mL

The conversion of mL to L is shown below:

1 mL = 10⁻³ L

Thus, volume = 25×10⁻³ L

Thus, moles of HCl :

$Moles=0.010 \times {25\times 10^{-3}}\ moles$

Moles of HCl = 0.00025 moles

Considering the reaction shown below as:-

$2HCl+Mg(OH)_2\rightarrow MgCl_2+2H_2O$

2 moles of HCl reacts with 1 mole of $Mg(OH)_2$

So,

1 moles of HCl reacts with 1/2 mole of $Mg(OH)_2$

Also,

0.00025 moles of HCl reacts with $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.00025$ mole of $Mg(OH)_2$

Mole of $Mg(OH)_2$ = 0.000125 moles

Molar mass of $Mg(OH)_2$ = 58.3197 g/mol

Mass = Moles*Molar mass = $0.000125\times 58.3197\ g$ = 0.0073 g

Two metals (Metal A and Metal B) are both exposed to a laser which emits photons that have a greater energy than the work functi

Tresset [83]

Answer:

shorter than

equal to

Explanation:

Let us go back to the Einstein photoelectric equation;

KE = E - Wo

Where

KE = kinetic energy of the photoelectron

E = energy of the incident photon

Wo = work function of the metal

But KE = 1/2mv^2

Thus the velocity of the emitted photoelectron is determined by the kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectron.

Since the work function of metal A is smaller than that of metal B, the kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted from metal A is greater than that of photoelectrons emitted from metal B . Therefore, the velocity of electrons from metal A is greater than those from metal B.

From de Broglie relation;

λ = h/mv

Where;

λ = de Broglie wavelength

h = Plank's constant

m = mass

v = velocity

Metal A producing electrons with greater velocity will lead to a shorter de Broglie wavelength compared to those from metal B.

The number of photoelectrons ejected is determined by the intensity of the photons and not the energy of the incident photons or the work function of the metals. Since the two metals are exposed to the the same laser, equal number of photoelectrons are produced for metals A and B.
