Why is potassium sulfide's formula K2S???

Chemistry

The way it both the atoms bond together is because of ionic bonding. Potassium has a charge of +1, while sulfur has a charge of -2. If you combine them, you would get:

However, it needs to neutralize and have a charge of 0 for it to bond successfully. This would result in having TWO potassium, so potassium would have a charge of +2, neutralizing with sulfur's -2 charge. Therefore, it needs 2 potassium that adds to a charge of +2, and therefore resulting to the formula K2S.

Because potassium sulfide is made of potassium and sulfur so for every 2 atoms of potassium you need 1 atom of sulfur

2CH2(g) + 50 (g) → 400/(g) + 2 H2O(g)
Nadusha1986 [10]

168.96 g of carbon dioxide (CO₂)

Explanation:

The chemical reaction representing the combustion of acetylene:

2 C₂H₂ (g) + 5 O₂ (g)→ 4 CO₂ (g) + 2 H₂O (g)

number of moles = mass / molecular weight

number of moles of acetylene (C₂H₂) = 50 / 26 = 1.92 moles

Taking in account the stoichiometry of the chemical reaction, we devise the following reasoning:

if       2 moles of acetylene (C₂H₂) produces 4 moles of carbon dioxide (CO₂)

then 1.92 moles of acetylene (C₂H₂) produces X moles of carbon dioxide (CO₂)

X = (1.92 × 4) / 2 = 3.84 moles of carbon dioxide (CO₂)

mass = number of moles × molecular weight

mass of carbon dioxide (CO₂) = 3.84 × 44 = 168.96 g

What is the concentration in milligrams per milliter of a solution containing 23.5 meq sodium chlorise per milliliter? mw nacl =
ValentinkaMS [17]

1374.75 is the concentration in milligrams per ml of a solution containing 23.5 meq sodium chloride per milliliter.

Concentration in chemistry is calculated by dividing a constituent's abundance by the mixture's total volume.

It is calculated in mg/ml.

The unit of measurement frequently used for electrolytes is the milliequivalent (mEq). This value compares an element's chemical activity, or combining power, to that of 1 mg of hydrogen.

Formula for calculating concentration in mg/ml is

Conc. (mg/ml) = M(eq) /ml ×  Molecular weight / Valency

Given

M(eq) NaCl/ ml = 23.5

Molecular weight pf NaCl = 58.5 g/mol

Valency = 1

Putting the values into the formula

Conc. (mg/ml) = 23.5 ×58.5/1

                       = 1374.75 mg/ml

Hence, 1374.75 is the concentration in milligrams per ml of a solution containing 23.5 meq sodium chloride per milliliter.
