Answer:

B. K+ has 18 electrons

Explanation:

Ions are formed when atoms of element gain or loose electrons.
When an atom looses electrons it forms a positively charged ion and when an atom gains electrons it forms a negatively charged ion.
Metal atoms such as potassium, magnesium and aluminium looses outer most electrons to positively charged ions.
Potassium atom has 19 electrons, 19 protons, with an electronic configuration of 2 : 8 : 8 : 1. To form an ion, K looses an electron to form a positively charged potassium ion (K+) with 18 electrons and 19 protons and an electronic configuration of 2:8:8.

How can you distinguish between crystalline allotropic modifications of Sulphur from those of amorphous allotrops?

Burka [1]

The crystalline allotropes of sulfur are very strong and have a high melting and boiling point while the amorphous allotropes of sulfur are brittle and breaks easily.

<h3>What is a crystalline substance?</h3>

A crystalline substance is one that has a definite arrangement of the atoms in the substance. An amorphous substance lacks this definite arrangement. We can see this arrangement when we conduct an X-ray crystallography of the sulfur.

Also, the crystalline allotropes of sulfur are very strong and have a high melting and boiling point while the amorphous allotropes of sulfur are brittle and breaks easily.

A student finds that the water's temperature went from 18oC to 38oC. Calculate how many calories are in the peanut.

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

567 calories.

Explanation:

There 567 calories in 100 grams of peanut. In 100 grams of peanut, 49 gram is the fat, 26 grams of protein, 16 grams of carbohydrates, Sodium is 18 mg, Potassium is 705 mg. Calcium is present in peanut about 9%, Iron is 25% , Vitamin B-6 is 15% and Magnesium is 42% of their total weight. Oil content is high in the Peanut so this is the reason for high calories in peanut. It is a good source of proteins and potassium.

As much as 25 percent of the fruits and vegetables grown in Chinese agricultural regions rot before they can be transported the

gulaghasi [49]

C. Developing effective methods of food preservation

Explanation:

The development of effective methods of food preservation is a much more smaller and manageable problem that contributes to the complex problem.

The percentage of food rotting is not as a result of lack of an effective preservation technique as highlighted in the passage. It is due to the long distances of agricultural area from where the farms are located.

To cut the loss, efficient and rapid transportation techniques needs to be put in place to carry the fruits and vegetables to the area where they are needed.
This is the most complex problem that if solved can peg back food rot.
Additional measures should be put in place to preserve the food.

A 30.0-g piece of metal at 203oC is dropped into 400.0 g of water at 25.0 oC. The water temperature rises to 29.0 oC. Calculate

oee [108]

The specific heat of the metal is 2.4733 J/g°C.

Given the following data:

Initial temperature of water = 25.0°C

Final temperature of water = 29.0°C

Mass of water = 400.0 g

Mass of metal = 30.0 g

Temperature of metal = 203.0°C

We know that the specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g°C.

To find the specific heat of the metal (J/g°C):

Heat lost by metal = Heat gained by water.

$Q_{metal} = Q_{water}$

Mathematically, heat capacity or quantity of heat is given by the formula;

$Q = mc\theta$

Where:

Q is the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m is the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity.

∅ represents the change in temperature.

Substituting the values into the formula, we have:

$30(203)c = 400(4.184)(29 \; -\; 20)\\\\6090c = 1673.6(9)\\\\6090c = 15062.4\\\\c = \frac{15062.4}{6090}$

Specific heat capacity of metal, c = 2.4733 J/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat of the metal is 2.4733 J/g°C.
