Answer:

Potassium cation = K⁺²

Explanation:

The metal cation in K₂SO₄ is K⁺². While the anion is SO₄²⁻.

All the metals have tendency to lose the electrons and form cation. In given compound the metal is potassium so it should form the cation. The overall compound is neutral.

The charge on sulfate is -2. While the oxidation state of potassium is +1. So in order to make compound overall neutral there should be two potassium cation so that potassium becomes +2 and cancel the -2 charge on sulfate and make the charge on compound zero.

2K⁺² , SO₄²⁻

K₂SO₄

What is the maximum mass of aluminum chloride that could be obtained from 6 mol of barium chloride?

kodGreya [7K]

You have to find the stoichiometric ratio between AlCl₃ and BaCl₂. The common element between them is Cl. So, the ratio of Cl in BaCl₂ to AlCl₃ is 2/3. The molar mass of AlCl₃ is 133.34 g/mol. The solution is as follows:

Mass of AlCl₃ = (6 mol BaCl₂)(2 mol Cl/1 mol BaCl₂)(1 mol AlCl₃/3 mol Cl)(133.34 g/mol) = 533.36 g AlCl₃

Calculate the energy of an electron in the n = 2 level of a hydrogen atom.

ANEK [815]

Answer: The energy of an electron in the n = 2 level of a hydrogen atom is 3.40 eV.

Explanation:

Given: n = 2

The relation between energy and $n^{th}$ orbit of an atom is as follows.

$E = - \frac{13.6}{n^{2}} eV$

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$E = - \frac{13.6}{n^{2}} eV\\= - \frac{13.6}{(2)^{2}}\\= - 3.40 eV$

The negative sign indicates that energy is being released.

Thus, we can conclude that the energy of an electron in the n = 2 level of a hydrogen atom is 3.40 eV.
