The formula K₂S indicates that _______.

1 answer:

5 0

The subscriot 2 means that in the formula there are two parts of K, and the subscript 1 (implicit) for S, indicates that there is one part of S.

This is, the formula gives the ratio of the elements K and S in the compound, which is:

2 atoms of K : 1 atom of S.

Answer: there are 2 atoms of K and 1 atom of S in a molecule of K2S.

What are the four body systems that are involved of getting oxygen in our cells ?

Alex17521 [72]

Answer: The cells that make up the digestive, muscular, skeletal, reproductive, and excretory systems all need oxygen from the respiratory system to function, and the cells of the respiratory system—as well as all the other systems—need nutrients and must get rid of metabolic wastes.

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Answer B

Explanation:

By definition mixtures are combinations of substances physically prepared and physically separated. Mixtures are classified as 'homogeneous mixtures' and 'heterogeneous mixtures'. For homogeneous mixtures all components are dissolved, with solute evenly distributed throughout the solution and assumes state of solvent. 'Heterogeneous mixtures' have inconsistent properties throughout and solute concentration is not consistent throughout the mixture.

Two samples of sodium chloride with different masses were decomposed into their constituent elements. One sample produced 2.55 g

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

4.71 g of sodium and 7.25 g of chlorine

Explanation:

Note: The question is incomplete. the complete question is given below:

Two samples of sodium chloride with different masses were decomposed into their constituent elements. One sample produced 2.55 g of sodium and 3.93 g of chlorine. Being consistent with the law of constant composition, also called the law of definite proportions or law of definite composition, which set of masses could be the result of the decomposition of the other sample?

4.71 g of sodium and 3.30 g of chlorine

4.71 g of sodium and 7.25 g of chlorine

4.71 g of sodium and 1.31 g of chlorine

4.71 g of sodium and 13.7 g of chlorine

The law of definite proportions states that all pure samples of a particular chemical compound contain the same elements combined in the same proportion by mass.

This means that irrespective of the source of any sample of a pure chemical compound, the constituents elements are always combined in the same mass ratio.

In the first sample, the mass ratio of Sodium to chlorine is given below:

mass of sodium = 2.55 g

mass of chlorine = 3.93 g

mass ratio; sodium to chlorine = 2.55 / 3.93 = 0.65

From the set of masses give above, we can determine the result of the decomposition of the second sample.

4.71 g of sodium and 3.30 g of chlorine

mass ratio; sodium to chlorine = 4.71 / 3.30 = 1.43

4.71 g of sodium and 7.25 g of chlorine

mass ratio; sodium to chlorine = 4.71 / 7.25 = 0.65

4.71 g of sodium and 1.31 g of chlorine

mass ratio; sodium to chlorine = 4.71 / 1.31 = 3.59

4.71 g of sodium and 13.7 g of chlorine

mass ratio; sodium to chlorine = 4.71 / 13.7 = 0.34

From the results above, the correct set of masses for the second sample is 4.71 g of sodium and 7.25 g of chlorine

List all orbitals from 1s through 5s according to increasing energy for multielectron atoms. Rank orbitals from smallest to larg

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

The given list of orbitals can be ranked as follow:

1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s.

Explanation:

The given list of orbitals can be ranked as follow:

1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s.

According to the Aufbau principal in ground state of elements electron first occupy the lower energy level then fill the higher energy levels. We know that there four subshells s, p, d and f. The maximum number of electrons in these subshells can be calculated by following formula:

2 (2l +1 )

and l = 0,1,2,3,....

maximum numbers of electrons in s subshell are,

l=0

2 ( 2(0) + 1)

so maximum electrons in s subshell are 2.

maximum numbers of electrons in p subshell are,

l = 1

2 ( 2(1) + 1)

2( 2 + 1

so maximum electrons in p subshell are 6.

maximum numbers of electrons in d subshell are,

l = 2

2 ( 2(2) + 1)

2( 4 + 1)

so maximum electrons in d subshell are 10.

maximum numbers of electrons in f subshell are,

l = 3

2 ( 2(3) + 1)

2( 6 + 1)

so maximum electrons in f subshell are 14.

Electron first fill 1s subshell then 2s subshell and in this way they goes to higher energy levels.
