The  number of atoms  of K that are in 235 g  of the compound  is

2.57 x10^24 atoms


 calculation

Step 1:  find the moles of K2S

= moles = mass/molar mass

=  235 g/110 g/mol= 2.136  moles

Step 2: multiply  2.136 moles  by no. of K atoms in K2S

= 2.136  x2 = 4.272 moles


Step 3: use the Avogadro's  law to determine number of K atoms

that is according to Avogadro's law  1 mole = 6.02 x 10^23  atoms

                                                            4.272 moles= ? atoms

by cross multiplication

= (4.272  moles x 6.02 x10^23 atoms)  / 1 mole = 2.57 x10^24 atoms

larisa86 [58]

The atomic number of Fluorine is 9

Valence (outer) electron configuration is : 2s²2p⁵

Therefore, it requires 1 electron in the p-orbital to complete its octet of 8 electrons.

Thus, the atom Fluorine generally will become <u>more </u>stable through the formation of an ionic chemical compound by accepting <u>1 </u> electron from another atom. This process will fill its outer energy level.

Ans:  A) more, 1

Fudgin [204]

The reaction of iron sulfide (FeS) with hydrochloric acid (HCl) results in the formation of ferrous chloride (FeCl2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas. The reaction can be shown as follows:

FeS (s) + HCl(aq) ---- FeCl2(s) + H2S(g)

The bubbles indicate the formation of H2S gas which is a chemical change. The formation of bubbles indicates this change as it suggests that the reactants are combing to form products i.e. it signals a chemical reaction.
