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.

Given parameters:

Mass of steam  = 85g

Unknown:

Heat released when the liquid is condensed  = ?

Solution:

The heat released by the substance is given as;

         H  = mL

H is the heat released

m is the mass

L is the latent heat of steam  = 2352J/g

Heat released  = 85 x 2352  = 199920J

1. Some athletes have as little as 3.0% body fat. If such a person has a body mass of 65 kg, how many pounds of body fat does th
77julia77 [94]
1. 3.0% ----> 3.0 kg fat= 100 kg body weigh
also remember that 1 kg= 2.20 lbs

65 kg  \frac{3.0 kg}{100 kg} x  \frac{2.20 lb}{1 kg} = 4.29 lbs

2. 0.94 g/mL----> 0.94 grams= 1 mL
1 Liters= 1000 mL
1kg= 1000 grams

3 Liters  \frac{1000 mL}{1 L} x   \frac{0.94 grams}{1 mL} x  \frac{1 kg}{1000 g} x   \frac{2.20 lbs}{1 kg}  = 6.20 lbs
