<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.

How many moles of KBr will be produced from 10.51 moles of BaBr2?
gregori [183]

Answer:

21.02moles of KBr

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Number of moles BaBr₂ = 10.51moles

Complete reaction equation:

           BaBr₂ + K₂SO₄ → KBr + BaSO₄

Upon inspecting the given equation, we find out that the atoms are not balanced on both sides of the equation:

        The balanced equation is:

           BaBr₂ + K₂SO₄ → 2KBr + BaSO₄

From the equation:

     1 mole of BaBr₂ produces 2 moles of KBr

∴   10.51 moles of BaBr₂ will yield (2 x 10.51) moles = 21.02moles of KBr

In the reaction, A → Products, the rate constant is 3.6 × 10−4 s−1. If the initial concentration of A is 0.548 M, what will be t
Arada [10]

Answer:

        \large\boxed{\large\boxed{0.529M}}

Explanation:

Since the <em>rate constant</em> has units of <em>s⁻¹</em>, you can tell that the order of the reaction is 1.

Hence, the rate law is:

       r=d[A]/dt=-k[A]

Solving that differential equation yields to the well known equation for the rates of a first order chemical reaction:

      [A]=[A]_0e^{-kt}

You know [A]₀, k, and t, thus you can calculate [A].

       [A]=0.548M\times e^{-3.6\cdot 10^{-4}/s\times99.2s}

       [A]=0.529M
