If the compound potassium chloride is written in words, how do you know to write the formula with one potassium and one chloride

Chemistry
1 answer:
NNADVOKAT [17]3 years ago
6 0

Because there is only one stable ionic compound made up of potassium and chlorine, and that is KCl. So calling is "mono chloride" or similar would be redundant assuming you understand basic chemistry (i.e. knowing oxidation numbers of K is +1 and Cl is -1). When compounds can exist in multiple forms in nature like CO and CO2 you will preferably indicate it through the nomenclature, calling one a monoxide and the other a dioxide.

What features did you use to classify igneous rocks as extrusive or intrusive ?
umka21 [38]

Answer: Igneous rocks may be simply classified according to their chemical/mineral composition as felsic, intermediate, mafic, and ultramafic, and by texture or grain size: intrusive rocks are course grained (all crystals are visible to the naked eye) while extrusive rocks may be fine-grained (microscopic crystals) or glass.

Explanation: Hope this helped! :)

Calculate the solubility of carbon dioxide at 400 kPa.
BaLLatris [955]

The solubility of carbon dioxide at 400 kPa  at room temperature is ;

( B ) 0.61 CO2/L

<u>Given data </u>

pressure of CO₂ = 400 Kpa = 3.95 atm

Kh of CO₂ = 3.3 * 10⁻² mol/L.atm

<h3>Calculate the solubility of carbon dioxide </h3>

Solubility = pressure * Kh value of CO₂

                = 3.95 atm * 3.3 * 10⁻² mol / L.atm

                = 0.13 mol/l  CO₂

                = 0.61 CO₂ / L

Hence we can conclude that the solubility of CO₂ at 400 kPa is 0.13 mol/l  CO₂.

From the options the closest answer is ( B ) 0.61 CO₂ / L

A group of students working in a high school chemistry lab believe they have discovered a new element! How exciting? Upon furthe
spayn [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Information given about the element:

Number of protons = 74

Number of neutrons = 110

For the atomic number:

Neutral atoms such as this one would have their atomic number to be the same with their number of electrons and protons:

     atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

The atomic number would therefore be 74

For the mass number:

The mass of an atom is centrally concentrated within the tiny nucleus. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom. Protons and neutrons are nuclear particles and are called nucleons:

     Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons = 74+110=184

Is this a new element?

From the peroidic table, tungsten(W) perfectly fits this description of the atom. It has an atomic number of 74 and a mass number of approximately 184. The element is not a new element.

Is it solid, liquid, or gas?

The element is a hard metallic solid. It is a classified as a transition metal on the periodic table. Transition metals have very unique metals and are mostly solids.

The sink-float method is often used to identify the type of glass material found at crime scenes by determining its density.
Olegator [25]

Answer:

<em><u>Glass that will sink</u></em>

  • alkali zinc borosilicate with a density of 2.57 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.46 g/mL

  • potash soda lead with a density of 3.05 g/mL in a solution with a density of 1.65 g/mL

<em><u>Glass that will float</u></em>

  • soda borosilicate with a density of 2.27 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.62 g/mL

  • alkali strontium with a density of 2.26 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.34 g/mL

<em><u>Glass that will not sink or float</u></em>

  • potash borosilicate with a density of 2.16 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.16 g/mL

Explanation:

Density is the property of matter that states the ratio of the amount of matter, its mass, to the space occupied by it, its volume.

So, the mathematical expression for the density is:

  • density = mass / volume

By comparing the density of a material with the density of a liquid, you will be able to determine whether object will float, sink, or do neither when immersed in the liquid.

The greater the density of an object the more it will try to sink in the liquid.

As you must have experienced many times an inflatable ball (whose density is very low) will float in water, but a stone (whose denisty is greater) will sink in water.

The flotation condition may be summarized by:

  • When the density of the object < density of the liquid, the object will float
  • When the density of the object = density of the liquid: the object will neither float nor sink
  • When the density of the object > density of the liquid: the object will sink.

<em><u>Glass that will sink</u></em>

  • alkali zinc borosilicate with a density of 2.57 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.46 g/mL, because 2.57 > 2.46.

  • potash soda lead with a density of 3.05 g/mL in a solution with a density of 1.65 g/mL, because 3.05 > 1.65.

<u><em>Glass that will float</em></u>

  • soda borosilicate with a density of 2.27 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.62 g/mL, because 2.27 < 2.62.

  • alkali strontium with a density of 2.26 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.34 g/mL, because 2.26 < 2.34.

<em><u>Glass that will not sink or float</u></em>

  • potash borosilicate with a density of 2.16 g/mL in a solution with a density of 2.16 g/mL, because 2.16 = 2.16
