Mass of Potassium : 116.1 g
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
38.7% potassium in Potassium nitrate
300 g of KNO3
Required
mass of potassium
Solution
%mass of element = (mass of an element in 1 mole of compound/mass of 1 mole compound) x 100%
mass of K(potassium) in 300 g KNO3 :
= 38.7% x 300 g
= 116.1 g
Preparation of small volumes of gases.
Answer:
E. potassium (K) and bromine (Br)
Explanation:
An ionic bond is formed between compounds with a large electronegativity difference between them. It is usually between a metal and non-metal.
- Potassium is a true metal found in group 1 on the periodic table.
- Bromine is a highly electronegative non-metal which is a halogen.
- Potassium will lose one of its electrons which will be gained by the Bromine.
- The electrostatic attraction between the two species will cause the ionic bond to form.
- The ability of one specie willing to lose electron and the other gaining, is the main bed rock of ionic bonding.
