Answer: The chemical formula for potassium sulfite is $K_2SO_3$

Explanation:

We are given a chemical compound having name potassium sulfite. This compound is formed by the combination of potassium ions and sulfite ions.

Potassium is the 19th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ar]4s^1$ .

This element will loose 1 electron to form $K^{+}$ ion

Sulfite ion is a polyatomic ion having chemical formula of $SO_3^{2-}$

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

Hence, the chemical formula for potassium sulfite is $K_2SO_3$

A 575.4575.4 mL sample of carbon dioxide was heated to 377377 K. If the volume of the carbon dioxide sample at 377377 K is 824.7

Margaret [11]

Answer:

263 K

Explanation:

Assuming ideal behaviour and constant pressure, we can solve this problem by using Charles' law, which states that at constant pressure:

T₁V₂=T₂V₁

In this case:

T₁ = ?

V₂ = 824.7 mL

T₂ = 377 K

V₁ = 575.45 mL

We input the data:

T₁ * 824.7 mL = 377 K * 575.45 mL

And solve for T₁:

T₁ = 263 K

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: option D. be given a positive charge produced by the movement of electrons to the other end of the ball.


Explanation:

This phenomenon is called electrostatic induction.

The excess of negative charge on the end of the rod will repel the electrons on the side of the pith ball that have been approached to it.

Then the electrons on the pith ball will move far away from this end with it will be left an excess of positive charge.

In this way the rod has induced that the ball acquires a positive charge on one end and a negative charge on the other end.
