What charge will a potassium ion form?

Chemistry
1 answer:
miskamm [114]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:Potassium

Explanation:

Magnesium is in the second column and therefore has 2 electrons in its outermost shell. It would tend to lose two electrons and form a +2 ion. Potassium is in the first column and therefore has 1 electron in its outermost shell. It would tend to lose one electron and form a +1 ion.

The burning of fossil fuels produces what kind of energy​
leva [86]

Answer:

When fossil fuels are burned carbon and hydrogen react with oxygen in air to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). During this reaction heat is released which further amplifies the reaction. Electricity is generated by transforming mechanical energy (heat) to electrical energy in a turbine or generator.

Place the following solutions in order of increasing osmotic pressure. I. 0.15 M C2H6O2. II. 0.15 M MgCl2, III. 0.15 M NaCl, A.
lozanna [386]

Answer:

D. I < III < II

Explanation:

  • The osmotic pressure (π) is given by the relation:

<em>π = iMRT.</em>

where, π is the osmotic pressure.

i is van 't Hoff factor.

M is the molarity of the solution.

R is the general gas constant.

T is the temperature.

<em>M, R and T are constant for all solutions.</em>

So, the osmotic pressure depends on the van 't Hoff factor.

  • The van 't Hoff factor is the ratio between the actual concentration of particles produced when the substance is dissolved and the concentration of a substance as calculated from its mass.
  • For most non-electrolytes dissolved in water, the van 't Hoff factor is essentially 1.
  • For most ionic compounds dissolved in water, the van 't Hoff factor is equal to the number of discrete ions in a formula unit of the substance.

For C₂H₆O₂ (non-electrolyte solute): i = 1.

For MgCl₂: i = 3.

It dissociates to give (Mg²⁺ + 2Cl⁻).

For NaCl: i = 2.

It dissociates to give (Na⁺ + Cl⁻).

So, the solute that has the highest osmotic pressure is  II. 0.15 M MgCl₂, then III. 0.15 M NaCl, then I. 0.15 M C₂H₆O₂.

  • So, the answer is:

<em>D. I < III < II.</em>

When 0.422g of phosphorus is burned, 0.967g of a white oxide is obtained.
nata0808 [166]
Moles = mass / molar mass 

<span>moles P = 0.422 g / 30.97 g/mol = 0.01363 mol </span>
<span>moles O = (0.967 g - 0.422g) / 16.00 g/mol = 0.03406 moles </span>

<span>So ratio moles P : moles O </span>
<span>= 0.01363 mol : 0.03406 mol </span>

<span>Divide each number in the ratio by the smallest number </span>

<span>(0.01363 / 0.01363) : (0.03406 / 0.01363) </span>
<span>= 1 : 2.5 </span>

<span>The empirical formula needs to be the smallest whole number ratio of atoms in the molecules. Since you have a non-whole number, multiply the ratio by the smallest number needed to make both number whole numbers. In this case x 2 </span>

<span>2 x (1 : 2.5) </span>
<span>= 2 : 5 </span>
