The original potassium atom then becomes a potassium cation with formula k+ the potassium atom donates one of its electrons, to be specific the only the electron in its valence shell to another more electronegative atom.

A small hole in the wing of a space shuttle requires a 15.9 cm2 patch.
Rzqust [24]

The patch area in square kilometers is 1.59*10⁻⁹ km₂

Why?

This is an unit conversion problem. We have to convert from cm² to km². We can do that by knowing that there are 100 cm in 1 m, and 1000 m in 1 km, so 100000 cm=1km. Knowing that we can apply the following conversion factor:

15.9 cm^{2} * (\frac{1 km}{100000 cm} )^{2}=0.00000000159 km^{2}

Now to convert this value to scientific notation, we have to move the decimal point to the right until we get a whole number, and the exponent of the number 10 is going to be the number of spaces we moved to the right (negative), so the final answer is:

0.00000000159 km^{2}=1.59*10^{-9} km^{2}

Have a nice day!

Match the name of each gas law to the properties it compares. 1. Gay-Lussac's law 2. Boyle's law 3. Avogadro's law a. Volume and
oee [108]

Answer:

1. C    2. B     3.  A

Explanation:

1. Gay- Lussac law, states that as along as the volume is kept constant, the      pressure of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to the temperature.

The properties it compares is; (c.) Pressure and temperature

2.  Boyle's Law states that; as long as the temperature is kept constant, the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure.

It therefore compares; (b.) Pressure and volume

3. Avogadro's Law states that equal volumes of different gases contain the same number of molecules provided the temperature and pressure are the same.

It therefore compares;  (a.) Volume and moles
