<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option B. Potassium(K).

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Electronic configuration of the given elements are:

  1. Ca - [Ar] 4s²
  2. K - [Ar] 4s¹
  3. B - [He] 2s2 2p1
  4. Kr -  [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s²4p⁶
  1. Krypton(K) have 36 electrons and it is a noble gas and hence all of its shells are completely filled with electrons and hence it will never loose electrons in normal conditions.
  2. Boron(B) have 5 electrons and 3 electrons in its outer shell. In order to attain a stable configuration it will loose 3 electrons and it is difficult to loose 3 electrons at a time for an atom.
  3. Calcium(Ca) have 20 electrons and 2 electrons in its outermost shell, in order to attain a stable configuration it will loose 2 electrons. it is quite difficult but easier than Boron.
  4. Potassium(K) have 21 electrons and 1 electron in its outermost orbit and in order to attain a stable configuration it will loose 1 electron. It is much easier to donate 1 electron than 2 or 3 electrons.

Result: Potassium will loose an electron most easily from the given elements.

Question
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Sln

n=m/mr

n=25/100

n=0.25mole of Caco3

Malality =number of moles/volume (divided by number of moles both sides)

volume =Malality /number of moles

v=0.125/0.25

v=0.500L

I hope this help

A student determines that a 9.8 g mixture of MgCl₂ (s) and NaNO3(s) contains 0.050 mol of
Damm [24]

mass MgCl₂ = mol x MM MgCl₂ = 0.05 x 95.211 g/mol = 4.76 g

mass Cl in MgCl₂ :

= (2 x AM Cl)/MM MgCl₂ x mass MgCl₂

= (2 x 35.5 g/mol)/95.211 g/mol x 4.76

= 3.55 g

% mass Cl in the mixture :

= (mass Cl / mass mixture) x 100%

=  3.55 / 9.8 x 100%

= 36.22%
