It is given that the charge on potassium is +1 i.e. Potassium is a cation, K⁺ and the charge on selenium is given as -2, i.e. selenium is an anion, Se²⁻

The two ions are shown to combine to form a molecule: KXSeY where X and Y correspond to the proportions in which the two atoms combine.

Since the molecule is neutral, the positive and negative charges need to be balanced. This is possible only if 2 units of K⁺ combines with 1 unit of Se²⁻.

Therefore, the formula would be K₂Se

X = 2 and Y = 1

What is the difference between an atom in the ground state and an atom in an excited state? A. The atom in the ground state has
Marizza181 [45]

The correct option is C.

An atom can be either in the ground state or in an excited state. An atom is said to be in the ground state, if the total energy of its electron can not be lowered by moving one or more electrons into different orbitals. At the ground state, the electrons in the atom have the lowest energy possible and they are stable. On the other hand, an atom is said to be in an excited state, if the energy of its electrons can be lowered by transferring one or more electrons into different orbitals. An atom in an excited state has more energy and is less stable.

A gas has a volume of 5.00 L at 0°C. What final temperature, in degrees Celsius, is needed to change the volume of the gas to ea
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

A = -213.09°C

B = 15014.85 °C

C = -268.37°C

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume of gas = 5.00 L

Initial temperature = 0°C  (273 K)

Final volume = 1100 mL, 280 L, 87.5 mL

Final temperature = ?

Solution:

Formula:

The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.

According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume  

T₂ = Final temperature

Conversion of mL into L.

Final volume = 1100 mL/1000 = 1.1 L

Final volume =  87.5 mL/1000 = 0.0875 L

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

T₂ = V₂T₁ / V₁

T₂ = 1.1 L × 273 K / 5.00 L

T₂ = 300.3 L.K / 5.00 K

T₂ = 60.06 K

60.06 K - 273 = -213.09°C

2)

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

T₂ = V₂T₁ / V₁

T₂ = 280 L × 273 K / 5.00 L

T₂ = 76440 L.K / 5.00 K

T₂ = 15288 K

15288 K - 273 = 15014.85 °C

3)

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

T₂ = V₂T₁ / V₁

T₂ = 0.0875 L × 273 K / 5.00 L

T₂ = 23.8875 L.K / 5.00 K

T₂ = 4.78 K

4.78 K - 273 = -268.37°C

On what is the geologic time scale based?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer: Either A or D

Geologists and paleontologists constructed the geologic table based on the relative positions of different strata and fossils, and estimated the time scales based on studying rates of various kinds of weathering, erosion, sedimentation, and lithification.

What is the correct balanced equation for the reaction that occurs when aqueous ammonium chloride reacts with aqueous barium nit
Setler [38]

Answer:

2NH_{4}Cl + Ba(NO_{3} )_{2} ⇒  BaCl_{2} + 2NH_{4}NO_{3}

Explanation:

In balancing a chemical equation we make sure the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side of the equation equals that on the product side

NH_{4}Cl + Ba(NO_{3} )_{2} ⇒  BaCl_{2} + NH_{4}NO_{3}

The equation above represents an unbalanced equation of the reaction of aqueous ammonium chloride  with aqueous barium nitrate .we can balance this equation by adding the right coefficients to reactants and product.

2NH_{4}Cl + Ba(NO_{3} )_{2} ⇒  BaCl_{2} + 2NH_{4}NO_{3}
