K ---> 38.7 g / 39.1 g/mol = 0.99
N ---> 13.9 g / 14.0 g/mol = 0.99
O ---> 47.4 g / 16.0 g/mol = 2.96

Divide by smallest:

K ---> 0.99 / 0.99 = 1
N ---> 0.99 / 0.99 = 1
O ---> 2.96 / 0.99 = 3

Which of the following atoms would gain two electrons to fill its valence energy level?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

The atom that would gain two electrons to fill its valence energy level is S(sulfur)

This is because s (sulfur) is in atomic number 16 with 2.8.6 of [Ne] 3s^2 2p^4 electronic configuration. This implies that sulfur has 6 valence electron and therefore it require two electron to fill its valence energy level and obtain 18 rule electrons.

What is the mass of 5.119 102 molecules of copper sulfate<br> (CuSO4)?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Mass = 135.66 ×10⁻²¹ g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of molecules of CuSO₄= 5.119×10²

Mass of CuSO₄= ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

1 mole contain 6.022×10²³ molecules

5.119×10² molecules ×1 mol / 6.022×10²³ molecules

0.85×10⁻²¹ mol

Mass in grams:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.85×10⁻²¹ mol × 159.6 g/mol

Mass = 135.66 ×10⁻²¹ g

What would happen if evaporation does not take place in nature​
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Evaporation is an important process in the water cycle. If there is no evaporation, there is no moisture in the atmosphere. As a result, clouds cannot form and there is no rain. Plants do not receive natural water and die. And there would be no rivers or lakes because their water comes from evaporation via rain or snow.
