Answer:

The number of core electrons = 18 electrons.

The number of valence electrons = 1 electron.

Explanation:

  • The core electrons are the electrons in the inner shells (1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶).

∴ the number of core electrons = 18 electrons.

  • The valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell (4s¹).

∴ the number of valence electrons = 1 electron.

Answer:

18 core electrons

1 valence electron

Explanation:

In the periodic table, potassium stands at the head or beginning of the fourth period. It is found in group 1. The third period ends with argon having 18 electrons. This implies that potassium should have at least 18 core electrons. Since it is found in group 1 having only 1 valence electron, it is expected to also have one valence electron.

Its electron configuration summarizes these statements above; 1s22s22p63s23p64s1

There are 18 core electrons and one valence electron in the outermost 4s1 orbital (the fourth shell)

Calculemos la formula empirica y molecular de carbonato de hierro Fe2(co3)3.Fe.38.3%C.12.3%.0.4 92% masa 292g
DENIUS [597]

Respuesta:

292 g / mol;

Por favor, consulte la explicación.

Explicación:

El número de átomos de cada elemento en el compuesto: Fe2 (co3) 3.

Fe = 2; C = 3; 0 = 3 * 3 = 9

Fe2 = 112 g / mol

C = 12 g / mol

O = 16 g /

Masa molecular = ((112 + (12 * 3) + (16 * 9)

= (112 + 36 + 144)

= 292 g / mol.

Total = 2 + 3 + 9 = 14

Fe2 = 112/292 * 100% = 38,356%

C = 36/292 * 100% = 12,328 * '

O = (16 * 9) / 292 * 100% = 49,32%

What is the name of the thermodynamic barrier that must be overcome before products are formed in a spontaneous reaction?
Black_prince [1.1K]
Activation energy is a thermodynamic barrier that must be overcome before products are formed in a reaction. It is the minimum amount of energy needed for a reaction to occur. The energy can be in the form of kinetic or potential energy. This concept was introduced by Svante Arrhenius, which brought about the Arrhenius equation which is a formula used to determine rate of reactions.

A 50-mL beaker only has a scale that measures 10, 20, 30, and 40 mL. What is the uncertainty associated with the 50 mL beaker.
Juliette [100K]
If the uncertainty of a certain measurement instrument is not given, then it is assumed to be equal to half of the least count of that instrument. In this case, the least count is 10 ml, so half of this is 5 ml. Therefore, the graduated cylinder has an uncertainty of +/- 5 ml
