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

Hello, I need some help writing a paragraph about the water cycle! If u can write a paragraph EXPLAINING the water cycle i would

Serhud [2]

Answer:

The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle or the hydrological cycle, describes the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth. The mass of water on Earth remains fairly constant over time but the partitioning of the water into the major reservoirs of ice, fresh water, saline water and atmospheric water is variable depending on a wide range of climatic variables. The water moves from one reservoir to another, such as from river to ocean, or from the ocean to the atmosphere, by the physical processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, surface runoff, and subsurface flow. In doing so, the water goes through different forms: liquid, solid (ice) and vapor. Hope this helps, mark as brainliest please!

Do you think there should be greater restrictions on who can buy explosives or accelerants? Why or why not?

fgiga [73]

In my opinion yes, as of now, almost anyone could get there hands on lets say an explosive. Have you heard of dynamite fishing? It is illegal, but it is still done once people have access to dynamite, then what ends up happening not only do marine wildlife get killed but it pollutes the water and lessens the chance of the natural cycle of life. Also there are several other factors, firstly, what will you do with an explosive once you get your hands on it? Perhaps you could just use an explosive for fun/personal entertainment...that isn't right and it could harm people. So, to conclude the harder it is for people to access explosives or even acclerants the better...and to add this can be possible by making people get like some sort of licence to use them, and let them be trained in certain conditions so that there is no regrets once they have access to them. I know my idea sounds far fetched but its a thought!

A 48.0g sample of quartz, which has a specific heat capacity of 0.730·J·g−1°C−1, is dropped into an insulated container containi

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The equilibrium temperature of the water is 26.7 °C

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Mass of the sample quartz = 48.0 grams

Specific heat capacity of the sample = 0.730 J/g°C

Initial temperature of the sample = 88.6°C

Mass of the water = 300.0 grams

Initial temperature = 25.0°C

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g°C

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate final temperature

Qlost = -Qgained

Qquartz = - Qwater

Q =m*c*ΔT

Q = m(quartz)*c(quartz)*ΔT(quartz) = -m(water) * c(water) * ΔT(water)

⇒ mass of the quartz = 48.0 grams

⇒ c(quartz) = the specific heat capacity of quartz = 0.730 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT(quartz) = The change of temperature of the sample = T2 -88.6 °C

⇒ mass of water = 300.0 grams

⇒c(water) = the specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT= (water) = the change in temperature of water = T2 - 25.0°C

48.0 * 0.730 * (T2-88.6) -300.0 * 4.184 *(T2 - 25.0)

35.04(T2-88.6) = -1255.2 (T2-25)

35.04T2 -3104.544 = -1255.2T2 + 31380

1290.24T2 = 34484.544

T2 = 26.7 °C

The equilibrium temperature of the water is 26.7 °C
