Answer: 69.72 kg of cryolite will be produced.
Explanation:
The balanced chemical equation is:
To calculate the moles, we use the equation:
moles of 
= 
moles of 
= 
moles of 
= 
As 1 mole of reacts with 6 moles of
166 moles of reacts with = 
moles of
As 1 mole of reacts with 12 moles of
166 moles of reacts with = 
moles of
Thus is the limiting reagent.
As 1 mole of produces = 2 moles of cryolite
166 moles of reacts with = 
moles of cryolite
Mass of cryolite 
= 
Thus 69.72 kg of cryolite will be produced.
Answer: K only has 1 valence electron. It will leave with only a little effort, leaving behind a positively charged K^+1 atom.
Explanation: A neutral potassium atom has 19 total electrons. But only 1 of them is in potassium's valence shell. Valence shell means the outermost s and p orbitals. Potasium's electron configuration is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^1. The 4s orbital is the only orbital in the 4th energy level. So it has a valency of 1. This means this electron will be the most likely to leave, since it is the lone electron in the oyutermost energy level (4). When that electron leaves, the charge on the atom go up by 1. The atom now has a full valence shell of 3s^2 3p^6, the same as argon, Ar.
