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.

5 0
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.

Why would a scientist want to replicate another scientist's experiment?
choli [55]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<u>A scientist B might want to replicate the experiment of another scientist A in order to assess the claims made by scientist A.</u> In other words, replication of the experiment of another scientist is done to see if a similar outcome would be arrived at or there would be variations.

<em>The claims made by a scientist while reporting the outcome of a particular experiment must be reproducible by another scientist under similar conditions. Otherwise, the claims are said to be false.</em>

If 120.3 mL of water is shaken with oxygen gas at 2.1 atm, it will dissolve 0.0043 g O2. Estimate the Henry's law constant for t
nikklg [1K]

<u>Answer:</u> The Henry's law constant for oxygen gas in water is 1.702\times 10^{-5}g/mL.atm

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

C_{O_2}=K_H\times p_{O_2}

where,

K_H = Henry's constant = ?

C_{O_2} = solubility of oxygen gas = 0.0043g/120.3mL

p_{O_2 = partial pressure of oxygen gas = 2.1 atm

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.0043g/120.3mL=K_H\times 2.1atm\\\\K_H=\frac{0.0043g}{120.3mL\times 2.1atm}=1.702\times 10^{-5}g/mL.atm

Hence, the Henry's law constant for oxygen gas in water is 1.702\times 10^{-5}g/mL.atm

Draw the simplified curved arrow mechanism for the reaction of butan-2-one and CH3Li to give the major product.
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Follows are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

Please find the image file of the chemical reaction in the attachment:

In a water medium, the CH3- type CH 3Li is a heavy nucleophile that attacks the carbonyl carbon atom to form the alkoxide ion, which will then be protonated to form alcohol.
