The eletron pairs repel each other in a tetrahedral shape.
Potassium is not found free in nature but is found in the form of potash. Potash is the ore of potassium and this ore is mined from deep down the earth or can sometimes be found on the surface. Potash was mostly formed as sea water receded and left deposits.
Potash is usually in the form of potassium salts such potassium chloride and potassium sulphate. The potash is mined then taken to the factory where it is crushed and purified by removing such impurities as clay.
The now purified potassium salts are subjected to a process called electrolysis where potassium metal is obtained from its salt.
Answer : The molar mass of the solute will be
87.90 g/mol.Explanation : We know the formula for elevation in boiling point, which is
Δt = i

m
given that, Δt = 0.357,

= 5.02 and mass of

= 40,
on substituting the value we get,
0.357 = (1) X (5.02) X (x/ 0.044), on solving we get x = 2.844 X

.
Now, 0.250/ 2.844 X

=
87.90 g/mol. which is the weight of unknown component.
Find the number of moles
C = n / V
C(Concentration) = 0.30 moles / L
V ( Volume) = 2 L
n = ??
n = C * V
n = 0.30 mol / L * 2 L
n = 0.60 mol
Find the molar mass
2Na = 23 * 2 = 46 grams
1S = 32 * 1 = 32 grams
O4 = 16 * 4 = 64 grams
Total = 142 grams / mol
Find the mass
n = given mass / molar mass
n = 0.06 mol
molar Mass = 142 grams / mol
given mass = ???
given mass = molar mass * mols
given mass = 142 * 0.6
given mass = 85.2 grams.
85.2 are in a 2 L solution that has a concentration of 0.6 mol/L
