Potassium oxide is an ionic compound. The potassium has a charge of <span>K+</span> and oxygen has a charge of <span>O<span>2−</span></span>. We need 2 potassium ions to balance one oxide ion making the formula <span><span>K2</span>O</span>.

Potassium hydroxide is an ionic compound. The potassium has a charge of <span>K+</span> and hydroxide has a charge of <span>OH−</span>. We need 1 potassium ion to balance one hydroxide ion making the formula KOH.

<span><span>K2</span>O+<span> H2</span>O→KOH</span>

To balance the equation we place a coefficient of 2 in front of the potassium hydroxide.

<span><span>K2</span>O+<span>H2</span>O→2KOH</span>

I hope this was helpful.

What is 9872002 in scientific notation?
frutty [35]

Answer:

= 9.872002 × 10^6

Explanation:

Move the decimal point in your number until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The resulting decimal number is a.

Count how many places you moved the decimal point. This number is b.

If you moved the decimal to the left b is positive.

If you moved the decimal to the right b is negative.

If you did not need to move the decimal b = 0.

Write your scientific notation number as a x 10^b and read it as "a times 10 to the power of b."

Remove trailing 0's only if they were originally to the left of the decimal point.

An unsaturated solution is formed when 80 grams of a salt is dissolved in 100 grams of water at 40. This salt could be ?
LekaFEV [45]
A simple way to go about this is that we look at the solubility curve, on the x axis we first look at the temperature and then the corresponding value of solute/100g H2O on the y axis, from the 4 curves above only NaNO3 has a curve that can accommodate  80g of salt at 40 without being Saturated since at 40 degrees it can accommodate 105g of salt to become completely Saturated.

Why do all atoms of an element have the same atomic number, although they may have
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Here’s what I get.

Explanation:

  • The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
  • The number of protons determines the number of electrons.
  • The number of electrons determines the chemical properties of the element,

Thus, the atomic number determines the identity of the element.

The atomic mass does not affect the chemical properties, so different isotopes of an element behave alike.
