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

If you want to use a serial dilution to make a 1/50 dilution. The first dilution you make is a 1/5 dilution with a total volume
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

0.2 mL stock solution, 0.8 solvent, 0.1 mL first solution and 0.9 solvent

Explanation:

The final volume for fist solution is 1 mL and concentration must will be 1/5, then 1 mL/5=0.2 mL. For complete the 1 mL add the missing solvent volume 1 mL-0.2 mL=0.8 mL. For second solution, assuming final volume is 1 mL, and concentration 1/10, then we have 1 mL /10=0.1 mL solution 1/5. Completing volume, 1 mL-0.1 mL= 0.9 mL solvent.

If the wavelength of purple light is 400 x 10^-9 m, what is the frequency?
FromTheMoon [43]

The frequency : a) 7.5 x 10¹⁴ /s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Radiation energy is absorbed by photons

The energy in one photon can be formulated as

\large{\boxed{\bold{E\:=\:h\:.\:f}}}

Where

h = Planck's constant (6,626.10⁻³⁴ Js)

f = Frequency of electromagnetic waves  (/s or Hz)

f = c / λ

c = speed of light

= 3.10⁸  m/s

λ = wavelength

The wavelength(λ) of purple light is 400 x 10⁻⁹ m, so the frequency :

\tt f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3.10^8~m/s}{4.10^{-7}m}\\\\f=\boxed{\bold{7.5.10^{14}}/s}
