Potassium is placed where it is based on its properties and it's reactivity. It's also placed there based on it's atomic number.

In the city a street peddler offers you a diamond ring for 30 bucks how can you test the rock
larisa86 [58]

Explanation:

Hardness test — Scratch the rock with a fingernail, a copper penny, a glass plate or nail, and a ceramic plate. Check your Guide to assign it a rating on the Mohs Scale of Hardness.

Color streak test — Test for the “color streak” of the minerals by rubbing the rock across the ceramic plate in the Mineral Test Kit, or across smooth

cement. Look up which colors indicate which minerals are present.

Magnetism test — Hold the magnet in the Mineral Test Kit near your rock. If there is a magnetic pull, it has a metal mineral in it.

Acidity test — Put vinegar in the bottle included in the Mineral Test Kit. Squeeze out a few drops on the rock. If it fizzes, it contains carbonate.

A quick and easy way to find out whether your diamond is real or fake: try fogging it up with your breath. If it clears up after one or two seconds, then your diamond is real, but if it stays fogged for three to four seconds chances are that you're looking at a fake.

The proper answer gets marked brainiest, answer what the question is asking.
Keith_Richards [23]

A substance is an element if it consists of a single type of atom. A substance is a compound if it is made up of more than one element.

<h3>Elements and compounds</h3>

In chemistry, an element is defined as all pure substances consisting of the same atom. For example, magnesium and potassium metal are all elements because they consist of magnesium and potassium atoms only.

On the other hand, compounds are defined as substances consisting of 2 or more atoms of different elements. For example, sodium chloride consists of atoms of sodium and chlorine. Hence, it is considered to be a compound.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[RxN] 2AlF₃ + 3K₂O → 6KF + Al₂O₃

[Given] 15.524 g KF

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[RxN] 2 mol AlF₃ = 6 mol KF

Molar Mass of Al - 26.98 g/mol

Molar Mass of F - 19.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of K - 39.10 g/mol

Molar Mass of AlF₃ - 26.98 + 3(19.00) = 83.98 g/mol

Molar Mass of KF - 39.10 + 19.00 = 58.10 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Stoichiometry</u>

  1. Set up:                              \displaystyle 15.524 \ g \ KF(\frac{1 \ mol \ KF}{58.10 \ g \ KF})(\frac{2 \ mol \ AlF_3}{6 \ mol \ KF})(\frac{83.98 \ g \ AlF_3}{1 \ mol \ AlF_3})
  2. Multiply/Divide:                                                                                                    \displaystyle 7.47966 \ g \ AlF_3

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 5 sig figs.</em>

7.47966 g AlF₃ ≈ 7.4797 g AlF₃

Compound X has the formula C8H14. X reacts with one molar equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst to form
REY [17]

Answer:

1-Ethyl-3-methylidenecyclopentane  

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula = C₈H₁₄. An alkane has formula C₈H₁₈. ∴ X contains 2 double bonds, 2 rings, or 1 ring and 1 double bond.

X absorbs only 1 mol of hydrogen. ∴ X contains 1 ring and 1 double bond.

Hydrogenation gives 1-ethyl-3-methylcyclopentane.

Ozonolysis gives formaldehyde, so X must contain a =CH₂ group.  

Hydrogenation of X converted the =CH₂ to -CH₃.

X is 1-ethyl-3-methylidenecyclopentane.

You can see the reactions in the image below.

7<br> What is the name of this isotope?<br> Periodic Table link<br> P: 36<br> N: 48
andre [41]

Answer:

Because the number of neutrons is different, the mass number is different. Isotopes are written in two different ways. They can be written using their symbol with the mass number (to the upper left) and atomic number (to the lower left) or the isotope name is written with a dash and the mass number

Explanation:

I don't know the answer but I am sure this will help you out.
