How many potassium atoms are in 250.0 grams of potassium?

Chemistry
1 answer:
loris [4]3 years ago
3 0

Hi!


The correct option would be 3.85x10^(24)


To find the number of atoms in 250g of potassium, we need to first calculate the number of atoms in


1 mole of Potassium = 39g which contains 6.022x10^(23) atoms of K

<em>(Avogadro's constant value for the amount of molecules/atoms in one mole of any substance)</em>

<em>Solution</em>

So as 39g of Potassium contains 6.022x10^(23) K atoms

1g of Potassium would contain 6.022x10^(23) / 39 = 1.544 x10^(22) atoms

So 250g of Potassium would contain 1.544x10^(22) x 250 = 3.86x10^(24) atoms

If an element has 2+ valence electrons, does it transfer only one or more than one valence electrons​
just olya [345]

Answer:

element having 2+ valence electrons can transfer its more than one electron that is 2 electron completely.

Explanation:

  • Group IIA have 2+ valency and two electrons in its valance shell.
  • Its Electropositivity is  high and have the tendency to donate it two electrons.
  • Element  of IIA form ionic with most electronegative element.

Examples:

Cu²⁺, Mg²⁺, Sr²⁺ are examples having  2+ valance electron

one of the following is examples of element that have 2+ valence electrons

MgCl₂

Atomic number of Magnesium (Mg) is 12

Electronic Configuration of Mg:

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s²

or

K =2

L = 8

M = 2

So, it have to give its 2 electrons to form a stable compound.

Similarly

Chlorine atomic number is 17

Electronic Configuration of Chlorine:

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁵

or

K =2

L = 8

M = 7

So, it have to gain one electrons to form a stable compound and complete its octet.

So,

Two chlorine atom as a molecule gain 2 electrons from Mg²⁺ atom

So one Mg²⁺ and 2 Cl⁻ atoms form an ionic bond

where in this ionic bond Mg²⁺ transfer its 2 valence electron completely and chlorine molecule accept 2 electrons.

                 Cl-----Mg------Cl

So the Answer is

element having 2+ valence electrons can transfer its more than one electron that is 2 electron completely.

What kind of questions CANNOT be answered by chemistry?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

d. why matter exists

Explanation:

The kind of questions that chemistry CANNOT answer is "why matter exists".

In Chemistry, question of how the properties, composition and structure of substances are is answered. Also, the transformations that these substances undergo, and the energy that they release or absorbe during the transformation processes are revealed in chemistry.

Chemistry can answer the question of what forms of matter exists but cannot answer why matter actually exists.

580 grams of boiling water (temperature 100°C, specific heat capacity 4.2 J/K/gram) are poured into an aluminum pan whose mass i
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

81.04°C

Explanation:

Heat loss by water = Heat gained by Aluminum

Heat loss by water;

H = MCΔT

ΔT = 100 -  T2

M = 580g

c = 4.2

H = 580 * 4.2 (100 - T2)

H =  243600  - 2436T2

Heat ganed by Aluminium

H = MCΔT

ΔT = T2 - 24

M = 900g

c = 0.9

H = 900 * 0.9 (T2 - 24)

H = 810 T2 - 19440

243600  - 2436T2 = 810 T2 - 19440

243600 + 19440 =  810 T2 + 2436T2

263040 = 3246 T2

T2 = 81.04°C

Assumption;

Assume that energy diffuses throughout the pan and water so that all parts reach the same final temperature.
