There are many things that we do in our daily lives that involve energy changes. For example ,when you hold your textbook in the air, you are giving it potential energy. Another example is an object in simple harmonic motion. Energy is constantly being transferred from one from to another, potential to kinetic.
The atomic cation with +1 charge with the following configuration:
1s22s22p63s23p6
Is Potassium (K+), remember potassium have 19 electrons in its neutral state, when if losses one electrons it becomes + with one less electron, meaning it will have 18 electrons as a cation.
There are 2 electrons in 1s orbital as it can be seen from the electron configuration.
Answer: The quantity of heat produced by the reaction is +26710.656J
Explanation:
Quantity of Heat, Q = mass * specific heat capacity *temperature change
Q = mCpTc, where m= mass, Cp= specific heat capacity, Tc is temperature change
m= 210.0g, Cp=4.184J/(g · oC), Tc= 57.6 - 27.2 = 30.4 oC
Q = 210.0g *4.184J/(g · oC) * 30.4 oC
Q = +26710.656J
Therefore, the quantity of heat produced by the reaction is +26710.656J.
Note: <em>Even though heat is given out by the system and is normally written as a negative value to indicate that heat is lost, the answer is written as a positive decimal number according to instruction.</em>
Electrons are found outside of an atom.
