Answer:
22g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of element A = 18g
Mass of element B = 4g
Unknown:
Mass of compound formed = ?
Solution:
The reaction equation is given as;
A + B → AB
According to the law of conservation of mass "in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed but changed from one form to another".
Simply mas is conserved and the mass of the reactants is the same as the mass of the product that forms.
Mass of reactants = mass of A + mass of B = 18g + 4g = 22g
So;
Mass of product AB = 22g
Answer:
In order to obtain eight valence electrons (an octet), the potassium atom will transfer its single valence electron to the fluorine atom.
In physical changes, the chemical makeup of an atom stays the same, like water turning into ice or steam, everything is still water but a different physical form. A chemical change is where an atom’s chemical make up does change, like wood burning to become soot, which is not wood, or photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide and water turn into a carbohydrate and oxygen
