Answer:

an Additional shell

Explanation:

Potassium has an additional energy level when compared to sodium. This is due to an extra shell added. In the periodic table when you go down the group, the atomic radius increases due to increasing energy levels.

The atomic radius mean the distance from the center of the nucleus to the valance shell. it actually describes the size of the atom

A student makes a compound of sulfur and oxygen. She uses 5.00 g of sulfur and 4.99 g of oxygen, and all of the elemental substa
victus00 [196]
First, we apply the law of conservation of mass which states that the total mass in a system remains constant.
Therefore, there must be 5.00 g of sulfur and 4.99 g of oxygen in the product. Now, we determine the mass percentage using:

Mass % = (mass of sulfur x 100) / total mass of compound

Mass % = (5 * 100) / (5 + 4.99)

Mass % = 50.05%

The product contains 50.05% sulfur by mass.

Sodium sulfate is slowly added to a solution containing 0.0500 M Ca 2 + ( aq ) and 0.0390 M Ag + ( aq ) . What will be the conce
levacccp [35]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

Sodium sulfate is slowly added to a solution containing 0.0500 M Ca^{2+}(aq) and 0.0390 M Ag^{+}(aq). What will be the concentration of Ca^{2+}(aq) when Ag_{2}SO_{4}(s) begins to precipitate? What percentage of the Ca^{2+}(aq) can be separated from the Ag(aq) by selective precipitation?

Explanation:

The given reaction is as follows.

      Ag_{2}SO_{4} \rightleftharpoons 2Ag^{+} + SO^{2-}_{4}

[Ag^{+}] = 0.0390 M

When Ag_{2}SO_{4} precipitates then expression for K_{sp} will be as follows.

         K_{sp} = [Ag^{+}]^{2}[SO^{2-}_{4}]

        1.20 \times 10^{-5} = (0.0390)^{2} \times [SO^{2-}_{4}]

       [SO^{2-}_{4}] = 0.00788 M

Now, equation for dissociation of calcium sulfate is as follows.

         CaSO_{4} \rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+} + SO^{2-}_{4}

      K_{sp} = [Ca^{2+}][SO^{2-}_{4}]

     4.93 \times 10^{-5} = [Ca^{2+}] \times 0.00788

           [Ca^{2+}] = 0.00625 M

Now, we will calculate the percentage of Ca^{2+} remaining in the solution as follows.

               \frac{0.00625}{0.05} \times 100

                 = 12.5%

And, the percentage of Ca^{2+} that can be separated is as follows.

                     100 - 12.5

                     = 87.5%

Thus, we can conclude that 87.5% will be the concentration of Ca^{2+}(aq) when Ag_{2}SO_{4}(s) begins to precipitate.

Which statement is true for a solution when its concentration of hydroxide ions increases? It becomes more acidic. It becomes le
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Its pH value increases.

Explanation:

pH is the measure of alkalinity or acidity of a compound.

pH = - log [H+]

and pH + pOH = 14

where pOH is the measure of basicity of a solution, given by -log[OH-]

As a solution gets more basic that is higher [OH-], the pH increases, and on the other hand, as the pH of a solution decreases by one pH unit, the concentration of H+ increases by ten times.
