A student says: Potassium (K) always has 20 protons. Explain why the student is incorrect.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Katen [24]2 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

19

Potassium/Atomic number

This tells you that potassium has 19 protons and - since the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons- also 19 electrons. To find out the number of neutrons you have to look at the atomic mass or weight of the element. This can also be found in the periodic table.

What is the value of work done on an object when a 50–newton force moves it 15 meters in the same direction as the force?
victus00 [196]

Answer:

work done = 750 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Force on object = 50 N

Distance covered = 15 m

Work done = ?

Solution:

W = F. d

W = work done

F = force

d = distance

Now we will put the values in formula.

W = 50 N × 15 m

W = 750 N. m = 750 J

Which of the following solutions is acidic? [H3O+] = 1.0 x 10-10 M [H3O+] &lt; 1.0 x 10-7 M [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-10 M [OH-] = 1.0 x
Burka [1]

Answer:

[OH-] = 1.0 x 10-10 M

Explanation:

The acidity of a solution can be determined directly from the concentration of the hydrogen ions and indirectly from the concentrations of the hydroxide ions.

Generally, for a neutral solution we have;

[H3O+] = [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-7 M

For an acidic solution;

[H3O+] > 1.0 x 10-7 M

[OH-] < 1.0 x 10-7 M

Comparing the options the correct option is;

[OH-] = 1.0 x 10-10 M

A hot air ballon will rise in air because:
solmaris [256]

Answer: C

Explanation:

Hot air is a lot less dense for a few reasons. Hot air essentially means the particles have more kinetic energy, and move around a lot more. Cold air is dense because the particles move a lot less, have less energy, and are closer together.
