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

Assume the atmospheric pressure is 1 atm but the actual pressure is higher than 1 atm how will this error affect the calculated
ozzi
Answer : When we consider the atmospheric pressure as 1 atm then according to the ideal gas equation we can find out the molar mass of any unknown by this formula ;

PV=nRT

so if the pressure increases than 1 atm then we can see from the above equation that it will result in greater value for the number of moles (n) in the above equation.

While n = m/M where m is mass of the unknown in g and M is molecular mass.

So, if pressure is higher then it will result in molar mass of unknown which is much smaller.

Is this an example of physical or chemical weathering?<br><br><br> chemical<br><br><br> physical
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Physical

Explanation:

because the erosion of the canyon did not change any of the chemical attributes of the rock it only changed the appearance. it may have changed the color which is an example of chemical properties but in this case, it is physical. But in other cases, you would refer to this type of weathering as mechanical weathering.

Wind erosion
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

removes the fertile B horizon of soil

Explanation:

<em>Wind erosion has the capacity to remove the fertile B horizon of the soil.</em>

The term wind erosion generally refers to the capacity of high-magnitude wind to cause damages to the terrestrial environment. Soils can get their topmost layers removed by a strong wind if there are no barriers such as vegetation to break the speed of the wind.

The topmost layers in most cases consist of humus and the fertile minerals from parent materials. When the topmost layer is lost, the soil becomes unproductive for agriculture.

"The statements in the following multiple choices deal with various aspects of the relationship between vapor pressure and inter
solong [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) false.

NH₃ is more polar molecule than PH₃ so inter-molucular attraction is greater in NH₃ ( hydrogen bond ) . Hence vapour pressure is low for NH₃ .

b ) false .

The average kinetic energy of boiling water molecules is lower on a mountaintop than it is at sea level. It is so because water boils at lower temperture on mountain and kinetic energy of molecules depends upon temperature .

c ) false

vapour pressure depends upon temperature .

d ) True

CCl4 is more volatile than CBr4

e ) false

vapour pressure increases as temperature increases.
