Answer:

$KNO_3 (aq)$

Explanation:

Potassium nitrate is a soluble salt which readily dissolves in a polar solvent, such as water. When solid potassium nitrate is dissolved in water, it dissociates into potassium cations and nitrate anions.

Due to the resultant ionic charges, the polar water molecules attract the resultant ions and potassium nitrate ions become hydrated, that is, surrounded by water molecules.

Nitrate, our anion, attracts the partially positive ends of water molecules by attracting them via hydrogen atom.

Potassium, the cation, attracts the partially negative end of water molecules by attracting via oxygen atom.

A scientist is working in a lab and accidentally combines two liquids that quickly form a solution. Which process could be used

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Distillation

Explanation:

The method of distillation can be used to separate the two liquids, if their boiling point is known. The liquid with lower boiling point will be evaporated and its vapours will be captured, while the liquid with higher boiling point will remail in the container in the liquid state.

What does the group number on the periodic table tell you about the electron configuration of a

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The group number in the periodic table represents number of valence electrons of the elements in a certain group.

Explanation:

There are s, p, d, and f blocks, which you can see in periodic table

The s-block and p-block together are usually considered main-group elements, the d-block corresponds to the transition metals, and the f-block encompasses nearly all of the lanthanides (like lanthanum) and the actinides (like actinium)

There are three main principles, which may useful for you:

The Pauli exclusion rule basically says that at most, 2 electrons are allowed to be in the same orbital.
Hund’s rule explains that each orbital in the subshell must be occupied with one single electron first before two electrons can be in the same orbital.
The Aufbau process describes the process of adding electron configuration to each individualized element in the periodic table.

Hope this helps!
