The metallic radius of a potassium atom is 231 pm. What is the volume of a potassium atom in cubic meters?

Chemistry

Sauron [17]3 years ago
8 0
1 pm = 10∧-10 cm
Therefore, 230 pm is equivalent to 2.3 ×10∧-8 cm.
Atom is in the shape of a sphere,
The volume of a sphere is given by 4/3πr³
Thus, volume of the atom = 4/3π( 2.3 ×10∧-8)³
                                          = 4/3 (3.142 ×12.167×10∧-24
                                           = 5.096 ×10∧-23 cm³
but 1m³= 1000000cm³
Therefore, the volume of the atom = 5.096 ×10∧-29 m³

Water is initially present in a state where it's molecules are far apart. During a change of state it's molecules slow down whic
olga nikolaevna [1]

(A) gas to liquid is most likely to take place. This change from gas to liquid is the forming of water molecules. Gas particles have the most energy and therefore speed up the most, whereas solids have the least amount of energy and slow down. The intermediate step from gas to solid is a liquid. We call this process from gas to liquid condensation.

Explain the property of velocity. Name one substance with high velocity.
mafiozo [28]
Velocity is defined as displacement over time. Could you have possible meant viscosity? If so, viscosity is defined as the state of being thick, sticky, and semifluid in consistency, due to internal friction. And example of a substance with a high viscosity would be honey.

calcium has atomic number of 20 how many electrons of a calcium atom are involved in chemical bonding
Lelu [443]

The answer is 2 electrons.


The electron configuration of calcium is 2:8:8:2

Calcium has two electrons in its outermost shell. These are its valence electrons and are the ones used in bonding with other elements.  Valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding.

Calcium is a metal. When metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions. The resulting compound is known  as an ionic compound.

For example, when calcium metal reacts with chlorine gas,   calcium gives up its two valence electrons and Chlorine accepts them resulting in a new substance called calcium chloride in which the two elements have ended up forming ionic bonds.

What was a key discovery in the advancement me up early information transfer
Llana [10]

Answer:

The transfer was essential to understand the mutation and the possibility of new, more resistant strains in microorganisms.

Explanation:

the transfer of microorganisms is based on the transfer of genetic data through conductive pathways that penetrate the membranes, called pili or genetic bridges.

These mutated genes with higher resistance are transmitted and resistance is generated in entire populations and even species.

Consider the reaction NOBr(g) => NO(g) + 1/2 Br2(g). A plot of 1/[NOBr] vs time give a straight line with a slope of 2.00 M-1
timama [110]

Answer:

Thus, the order of the reaction is 2.

The rate constant of the graph which is :- 2.00 M⁻¹s⁻¹

Explanation:

The kinetics of a reaction can be known graphically by plotting the concentration vs time experimental data on a sheet of graph.

The concentration vs time graph of zero order reactions is linear with negative slope.

The concentration vs time graph for a first order reactions is a exponential curve.  For first order kinetics the graph between the natural logarithm of the concentration vs time comes out to be a straight graph with negative slope.

The concentration vs time graph for a second order reaction is a hyberbolic curve. Also, for second order kinetics the graph between the reciprocal of the concentration vs time comes out to be a straight graph with positive slope.

Considering the question,

A plot of 1/[NOBr] vs time give a straight line with a slope of 2.00 M⁻¹s⁻¹.

<u>Thus, the order of the reaction is 2.</u>

<u>Also, slope is the rate constant of the graph which is :- 2.00 M⁻¹s⁻¹</u>
