Due to periodic trends potassium would lose its one valence electron to have a more stable electron configuration equivalent to that of argon, which is a noble gas with a full octet. Fluorine would gain one valence electron to get a full octet equivalent to that of neon. Since potassium lost an electron it now has a positive charge and since fluorine gained an electron it is now negative. Since both are more stable this way as a full octet they will no longer exchange electrons but the positive potassium and negative fluorine will pull towards each other strongly forming an ionic bond.

What is the specific heat of a substance if 1560 cal are required to raise the temperature of a 312-g sample by 15°C?
Oksanka [162]
The specific heat capacity  the substance is calculated  using  the below formula

Q(heat) = Mc delta T
Q =1560  cal
m(mass) 312 g
delta T (change in temperature ) = 15 c
C= specific heat capacity=?

by making c the subject of the formula 
c=Q/m delta T
= 1560  cal/ 312g x 15 c = 0.33 cal/g/c (answer B)

Jerry listed the following process on his notebook:
topjm [15]

Answer:

2

Explanation:

1. The dew is formed when the water vapor at the atmosphere contacts the leaves, which are at a low temperature, so, the vapor temperature decreases, and the liquid is formed. So, it's a gas to liquid change.

2. Ice cubes are at the solid-state, thus this transformation is solid to a liquid change.

3. The cold juice is at a low temperature, so when the water vapor of the air contacts with the glass, its temperature decreases, and its change to a liquid phase. So, it's a gas to liquid change.

4. The evaporated water from the Earth's surface goes to the atmosphere, and, at high altitudes, the temperature is low, so the water vapor condenses and the drops get closer together forming the clouds. So, it's a gas to a liquid change.
