Explain, in terms of electrons, why the radius of a potassium atom is larger than the radius of the potassium ion in the ground

state.

Because the potassium atom has 19 electrons and there is four layers of electrons as 2, 8, 8, 1. And for potassium ion, there is 18 electrons. It has there layers of electrons as 2, 8, 8. So the radius of potassium atom is larger than potassium ion.

Identify the substance that conducts electricity. question 19 options: 1) nacl dissolved in water 2) solid nacl 3) solid sugar 4
Delicious77 [7]

The substance that conducts electricity is NaCl dissolved in water.

So, option A is correct one.

When the sodium chloride dissolve in water , the sodium atoms and chlorine atoms separates under the presence of water molecules and exist as sodium cation and chloride anion . Now , they are free to move around in the water as positively and negatively charged ions . This separation of charge allows the solution to conduct electricity.

The solid NaCl and solid sugar does not conduct electricity because it is not dissolve in water . Similarly, sugar dissolved in water does not conduct electricity .

Chemist A burns 10.000 grams of C₂H₆ in a constant-volume container at 25ºC. Chemist B burns an unknown mass of C₂H₆ in a consta
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

10.000 grams

Explanation:

For the first law of thermodynamics, the energy must be conserved, that means that the energy in form of heat (Q) must be equal to the sum of work (W) and internal energy(ΔU) :

Q = W + ΔU

ΔU depends on the temperature and W in the variation of pressure and volume. Q depends on the temperature, but also the mass. So, there is the same temperature, ΔU is equal for both reaction, if there is no work done, the heat must be equal for both of them. So the mass such be the same.
