Answer:

Option B - Density increases

Explanation:

Density is defined as:

δ = mass / volume

When T°2 is > T°1, volume has been increased

As the volume increased, density has decreased.

↓δ = mass / volume ↑

In the situation above, temperature decreased from 4° to 0°.

The volume has been reduced, so the density has been increased.

↑ δ = mass / volume ↓

How is the orbital configuration of neutral atoms related to the atoms chemical properties

timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

Chemical properties of atoms relies solely on the number of electrons they contain, more particularly, the valence or outermost electrons in the orbit round the nucleus of an atom.

A neutral atom is one that has not gained or lost electron or even shared electrons with any other atom.

On close examination of how electrons are distributed in the orbits of an atom, we can know if an atom will gain or lose electrons in a reaction. This is very important in determining the chemical properties of an atom.

A sample of potassium phosphate octahydrate (K3PO4•8H2O) is heated until 7.93 grams of water are released. How many grams did th

Gekata [30.6K]

The original sample of potassium phosphate octahydrate had a mass of 19.6 grams. When it was heated, it released 7.93 grams of water.

Further Explanation:

For every mole of the compound potassium phosphate octahydrate, there are 8 moles of water of hydration which can be removed from the crystal by heating without altering the chemical composition of the substance.

To determine how much original sample was used, the amount of water released upon heating may be used as well as the mole ratio of the water of hydration with the compound itself following the steps below:

Convert mass of water released to moles.
Use the mole ratio of water of hydration to the compound (8 mol water for every mol of potassium phosphate octahydrate) to get the moles of original sample.
Convert the moles of original sample to grams.

STEP 1: Convert 7.93 g water to moles.

$moles \ of\ H_{2}O \ = 7.93 \ g \ H_{2}O \ (\frac{1 \ mol \ H_{2}O}{18.00 \ g \ H_{2}O})\\\boxed {moles \ of \ H_{2}O \ = 0.4406 \ mol}$

STEP 2: Calculate the moles of original sample using the mole ratio: 1 mol K3PO4 8H2O : 8 mol H2O.

$moles \ of \ K_{3}PO_{4}\ 8H_{2}O \ = 0.4406 \ mol \ H_{2}O \ (\frac{1 \ mol \ K_{3}PO_{4}\ 8H_{2}O \ }{8 \ mol \ H_{2}O})\\\\\boxed {moles \ of \ K_{3}PO_{4}\ 8H_{2}O \ = 0.0551 \ mol}$

STEP 3: Convert the moles of original sample to mass.

$mass \ of \ K_{3}PO_{4}\ 8H_{2}O = 0.0551 \ mol \ K_{3}PO_{4}\ 8H_{2}O \ (\frac{356.3885 \ g}{1 \ mol\ K_{3}PO_{4}\ 8H_{2}O})\\ mass \ of \ K_{3}PO_{4}\ 8H_{2}O \ = 19.637 \ g$
