Answer:

c. 19

Explanation:

Potassium is a chemical element of the periodic table whose chemical symbol is K, whose atomic number is 19. It is an alkaline metal of white-silver color, which abounds in nature in the elements related to salt water and other minerals. It oxidizes rapidly in air, is very reactive, especially in water, and chemically resembles sodium. It is an essential chemical element.

The K having an atomic number of 19 means that it has 19 protons and in normal conditions for a neutral atom it will have 19 electrons, and being one step away from argon gas makes it extremely unstable.

In the laboratory you dissolve 13.9 g of potassium phosphatein a volumetric flask and add water to a total volume of 250mL.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Molarity of the solution? 0,262 M.

Concentration of the potassium cation? 0,786 M.

Concentration of the phosphate anion? 0,262 M.

Explanation:

Potassium phosphate (K₃PO₄; 212,27 g/mol) dissolves in water thus:

K₃PO₄ → 3 K⁺ + PO₄³⁻ <em>(1)</em>

Molarity is an unit of chemical concentration given in moles of solute (K₃PO₄) per liters of solution.

There are 250 mL of solution≡0,25 L

The moles of K₃PO₄ are:

13,9 g of K₃PO₄ ×\frac{1mol}{212,27 g} = 0,0655 moles of K₃PO₄

The molarity of the solution is:

\frac{0,0655 moles}{0,25L} = 0,262 M

In (1) you can see that 1 mole of K₃PO₄ produces 3 moles of potassium cation. The moles of potassium cation are:

0,0655 moles×3 = 0,1965 moles

The concentration is:

\frac{0,1965 moles}{0,25L} = 0,786 M

The moles of K₃PO₄ are the same than moles of PO₄³⁻, thus, concentration of phosphate anion is the same than concentration of K₃PO₄. 0,262 M

I hope it helps!

A manganese electrode was oxidized electrically. If the mass of the electrode decreased by 225 mg during the passage of 1580 cou
qwelly [4]

Answer:

<u>Oxidation state of Mn = +4</u>

Explanation:

Atomic mass of Mn = 55g/mol

From Faraday's law of electrolysis,

Electrochemical equivalent = \frac{mass}{charge}

i.e Z = \frac{m}{Q} = \frac{0.225g}{1580C} = 0.0001424 g/C

But Equivalent weight, E = atomic mass ÷ valency  = Z × 96,485

⇒ \frac{55}{valency} = 0.0001424 × 96,485

<u>∴ Valency of Mn = +4</u>
