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

For a single substance at atmospheric pressure, classify the following as describing a spontaneous process, a nonspontaneous pro
Maslowich

Answer and Explanation:

a. Solid melting below its melting point  ⇒ Nonspontaneous

The process is spontaneous <u>above</u> the melting point.

b. Gas condensing below its condensation point  ⇒ Spontaneous

Below the condensation point, the subtance is liquid (it condenses)

c. Liquid vaporizing above its boiling point  ⇒ Spontaneous

A liquid vaporizes at a temperature above the boiling point, it passes from liquido to the gas state

d. Liquid freezing below its freezing point  ⇒ Spontaneous

A liquid freezes at a temperature below its freezeing point, it passes from the liquid to the solid state.

e. Liquid freezing above its freezing point  ⇒ Nonspontaneous

The freezing is spontaneous below the freezing point.

f. Solid melting above its melting point  ⇒ Spontaneous

A solid melts at a temperature above the melting point

g. Liquid and gas together at boiling point with no net condensation or vaporization  ⇒ Equilibrium system

The systems is at equilibrium: there is no net change toward the liquid or towards the gas state.

h. Gas condensing above its condensation point  ⇒ Nonspontaneous

The condensation is spontaneous at a temperature below the condensation point.

i. Solid and liquid together at the melting point with no net freezing or melting ⇒ Equilibrium system

The system is at equilibrium: there is no net change towards the solid or the liquid state.
