A low electronegativity

Explanation:

Potassium is a metal that is expected to have a very low electronegativity value.

Electronegativity is the relative tendency by which an atom attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond.

Potassium is an element in the first group on the periodic table.

The common trend is that electronegativity increases from left to right and decreases down a group.

  • Potassium as metal will prefer to lose electrons rather than attracting because that will make it achieve the octet configuration that will ensure its stability.
  • This is why it will have low electronegativity.

The solubility of copper(i) chloride is 3.91 mg per 100.0 ml of solution. calculate ksp for cucl (cucl=99.00 g mol-1).
garri49 [273]
Convert  Mg  to  grams
1g =1000mg  what  about  3.91  Mg
=  3.91mg  x  1g/1000mg=  3.91  x10^-3 g
moles= mass/molar mass
that  is  3.91  x10^-3g  /99 g/mol=3.95 x10^-5moles
concentration=   moles  /  vol   in  liters

that  is  3.95  x10^-5/100  x1000=  3.94  x10^-4M

equation for  dissociation  of  CUCl=   CUCl---->  CU^+   +Cl^-

Ksp=(CU+)(CI-)
that  is  (3.95  x10^-4)(3.95  x10^-4)
Ksp=  1.56  x10^-7

Oxygen gas, generated by the reaction 2KClO3(s)->2KCl(s)+3O2(g) is collected over water at 27°C in a 1.55 L vessel at a total
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Use Dalton's law and the vapor pressure of water at 23.0 o C to correct the pressure to units of atmoshperes.

PT = Poxygen +Pwater

At 23.0 o C the vapor pressure of water is 21.1 mmHg. (This can be found on a vapor pressure table.)

762 mmHg = Poxygen + 21.1 mmHg

Poxygen = 762 mmHg - 21.1 mmHg

Poxygen =741 mmHg

Convert the corrected pressure to atmospheres.

(741 mmHg) (1 atm / 760 mmHg) = 0.975 atm

Use the ideal gas law to find out how many moles of gas were produced:

PV = nRT (remember to put volume in liters and temperature in Kelvin)

(0.975 atm) (.193 L) = n (.0821 L atm / mol K) (298 K)

n = (0.975 atm) (.193 L) / (.0821 L atm / mol K) (298 K)

n = 7.69 X 10-4 mol

Use the number of moles and the molecular weight of oxygen to find out how many grams of oxygen were collected.

(7.69 X 10-4 mol) (32.0 g / 1 mol) = 2.46 X 10-2 g

What type of bonding occurs in a sample of pure barium, Ba? In other words, how is one barium atom held to another barium atom?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:metallic bond

Explanation:

The metallic bond consists of a layer of valence electrons electrostatically attracted to positive metal ions. Hence in a metal such as barium, electrons bind the metal ions together in the metallic crystal lattice of the element.
