Answer: 19 electrons

Explanation:

An atom is smallest unit of a matter or substance.It consist of three subatomic particles : electrons, protons, neutrons.

Protons and neutrons are located in the center of an atom where mass of an atom is concentrated.  Electrons are located outside the nucleus where they orbit in different energy levels around the nucleus.

Potassium is an element with atomic number of 19 and thus contains 19 electrons.The electrons are filled according to Afbau's rule in order of increasing energies and thus the electronic configuration

K:19:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^1

Total number of electrons = 2+2+6+2+6+1 = 19

The answer is electron.

The nucleus of a neutral potassium atom is "surrounded" by electron.

The neutral potassium atom contains equal number of protons and neutrons, and there are 19 electrons and 19 protons while 20 neutrons.

20 protons and 20 neutrons are there in the nucleus while  19 electrons surrounds the nucleus in different orbits .

Are preferred because the results can be generalized to a larger population.
ryzh [129]

The most appropriate word among the group of answer choices to fill in the blank is: a. Random sample surveys.

Sampling can be defined as a process used to collect or select data (objects, observations, or individuals) from a larger statistical population using specific procedures.

The various types of sampling used by researchers includes the following;

  • Systematic sampling.
  • Convenience sampling.
  • Stratified sampling.
  • Cluster sampling.
  • Random sampling.

A random sample survey is also referred to as a simple random sample (SRS) and it can be defined as a sampling technique that involves randomly selecting a subset of a larger population. Also, any result obtained through the use of a random sample survey can be generalized and applied to a larger population.

In conclusion, scientists and researchers prefer random sample surveys because their results can be generalized to a larger population.

Calculate the silver ion concentration in a saturated solution of silver(I) sulfate (K sp = 1.4 × 10 –5). 1.5 × 10–2 M 1.4 × 10–
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

3.0x10⁻²M

Explanation:

Silver sulfate, Ag₂SO₄, has a product constant solubility equilbrium of:

Ag₂SO₄(s) ⇄ 2Ag⁺ + SO₄²⁻

When an excess of silver sulfate is added, some Ag₂SO₄ will react producing Ag⁺ and SO₄²⁻ until reach the equilbrium determined for the formula:

ksp = 1.4x10⁻⁵ = [Ag⁺]² [SO₄²⁻]

Assuming the Ag₂SO₄ that react until reach equilibrium is X, we can replace in Ksp expression:

1.4x10⁻⁵ = [Ag⁺]² [SO₄²⁻]

1.4x10⁻⁵ = [2X]² [X]

1.4x10⁻⁵ = 4X³

3.5x10⁻⁶ = X³

0.015 = X

As [Ag⁺] is 2X:

[Ag⁺] = 0.030 = 3.0x10⁻²M

The answer is:

<h3>3.0x10⁻²M</h3>

When 5.58g H2 react by the following balanced equation, 32.8g H2O are formed. What is the percent yield of the reaction? 2H2(g)+
8090 [49]

Answer:

D) 65.7%

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

2H2(g)+O2(g)⟶2H2O(l)

<em>2 moles of hydrogen produce 2 moles of water assuming an excess of oxygen.</em>

<em />

To find percent yield of the reaction we need to find theoretical yield (The yield assuming all hydrogen reacts producing water). With theoretical yield and actual yield (32.8g H₂O) we can determine percent yield as 100 times the ratio between actual yield and theoretical yield.

<em>Theoretical yield:</em>

Moles of 5.58g H₂:

5.58g H₂ ₓ (1 mol / 2.016g) = 2.768 moles H₂

As 2 moles of H₂ produce 2 moles of H₂O, if all hydrogen reacts will produce 2.768 moles H₂O. In grams:

2.768 moles H₂O ₓ (18.015g / mol) =

49.86g H₂O is theoretical yield

<em>Percent yield:</em>

Percent yield = Actual yield / Theoretical yield ₓ 100

32.8g H₂O / 49.86g ₓ 100 =

65.7% is percent yield of the reaction

<h3>D) 65.7% </h3>
