What charge will a potassium ion form?

Chemistry
1 answer:
miskamm [114]3 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.

A chemist measures the energy change ?H during the following reaction: 2HgO (s) ?2Hg (l) +O2 (g) =?H182.kJ Use the information t
Leni [432]

Answer:

The reaction is endothermic.

Yes, absorbed

3.06x10¹kJ are absorbed

Explanation:

In the reaction:

2HgO(s) → 2Hg(l) + O₂(g) ΔH = 182kJ

As ΔH >0,

<em>The reaction is endothermic</em>

<em />

As the reaction is endothermic, when the reaction occurs,

<em>the heat is absorbed.</em>

<em></em>

Now, based on the equation, when 2 moles of HgO (Molar mass: 216.59g/mol), 182kJ are absorbed.

72.8g are:

72.8g * (1mol / 216.59g) = 0.3361 moles HgO.

that absorb:

0.3361 moles HgO * (182kJ / 2 moles) =

<h3>3.06x10¹kJ are absorbed</h3>
