The given above pretty much states already that with the presence of the calcium carbonate which acts as the buffer will allow the solution to withstand changes in acidity. The greater the amount, the higher chances that it will be able to withstand the said changes. Therefore, if Lake X had greater ppm of CaCO3 then, it will be able to withstand greater amount of acid rain.
Answer:
Potassium
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1
Explanation:
The atom having only one electron its outermost shell must belong to an element in group one of the periodic table.
Having noted that, we proceed to find out what element in group one that has the atom just described in the question.
That atom must belong to an element in the fourth period. The only group 1 element in the fourth period is potassium.
The electron configuration of potassium is;
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1
Answer:
The fact that most alpha particles went straight through the foil is because the atom is mostly empty space.
Those that passed straight through did so because they didn't encounter any nuclei.
