Answer:

In brief, electrons in the K⁺ ion occupy three main electron shells. In comparison, electrons in the Na⁺ ion occupy only two main electron shells.

Explanation:

Consider the electron cloud model for the structure of an atom or an ion. The nucleus was very dense and small. It was highly located at the center of the atom or the ion. Electrons occupy most of the space of the atom or ion.

If there are more than one electrons, they would be located in one or more main energy levels. Generally, for two atoms/ions with a similar number of protons, the one with more filled main electron shells would have a larger radius.

Electrons in a neutral Na atom occupy three main energy shells. The outermost shell contains only one electron. That electron would be removed first, such that in the Na⁺ ion, electrons would occupy only two main shells.

Similarly, electrons in a neutral K atom occupy four main energy shells. The outermost shell contains only one electron. That electron would be removed first, such that in the K⁺ ion, electrons would occupy three main shells.

Since there are more occupied electrons shells in K⁺ than in Na⁺, K⁺ would have a larger ionic radius.

How many atoms of hydrogen exist in Na + H2O → NaOH + H2
Kazeer [188]
If you're talking about in an actual sample, you'd need more data like how many moles you have of the reactant or product.

Just in terms of the equation : there are two from the water in the reactant (left) side, and one from the sodium hydroxide and two for the hydrogen gas on the product (right) side, so 2+1+2=5 atoms of hydrogen.

N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) → 2 NH3 (g)
shusha [124]

This problem is asking for the rate of disappearance of gaseous nitrogen, given the rate of appearance of ammonia and the chemical reaction. At the end, the result turns out to be -0.228 M/s.

<h3>Rates of appearance and disappearance</h3>

In chemical kinetics, one of the most relevant calculations are based on rates of appearance and disappearance of chemical species in a chemical reaction. This can be calculated via rate portions based on the stoichiometric coefficients in the reaction.

Thus, for this problem, one can write:

\frac{r_{N_2}}{-1} =\frac{r_{H_2}}{-3} =\frac{r_{NH_3}}{2}

Where the rate of appearance or disappearance is divided by the stoichiometric coefficient. Therefore, one can solve for the rate of disappearance of N2 with:

\frac{r_{N_2}}{-1} =\frac{r_{NH_3}}{2}\\\\r_{N_2}=\frac{r_{NH_3}*-1}{2}\\\\r_{N_2}=\frac{0.456M/s*-1}{2}\\\\r_{N_2}=-0.228M/s

If a propane heater burns 38.95 g C3H8, it consumes?
AVprozaik [17]

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

C3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 +4H2O

We are given the amount of propane gas to be burned. This will be our starting point.

<span>38.95 </span><span>g C3H8 ( 1 mol C3H8 / 44.1 g C3H8 ) ( 5 mol O2/1 mol C3H8)(32 g O2 / 1 mol O2) =141.32 g O2

Therefore, the reaction consumes approximately 142 grams of oxygen gas.</span>

An example of a scientific law is the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter is neither created nor destroyed in
svp [43]

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, it makes a generalized observation that there will occur no change in the mass of a substance even if it undergoes a chemical reaction.

Whereas this law of conservation does not explain any phenomenon of why this conservation of mass occurs.

Therefore, the given statements are classified as follows.

A) It was developed from past observations - Ture

B) It is subject to experimentation and revision - True

C) It explains why mass is conserved - False

D) It predicts future observations - True
