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)

ΔU for a van der Waals gas increases by 475 J in an expansion process, and the magnitude of w is 93.0 J.
timofeeve [1]

Complete question:

ΔU for a van der Waals gas increases by 475 J in an expansion process, and the magnitude of w is 93.0 J. calculate the magnitude of q for the process.

Answer:

The magnitude of q for the process 568 J.

Explanation:

Given;

change in internal energy of the gas, ΔU = 475 J

work done by the gas, w = 93 J

heat added to the system, = q

During gas expansion process, heat is added to the gas.

Apply the first law of thermodynamic to determine the magnitude of heat added to the gas.

ΔU = q - w

q = ΔU +  w

q = 475 J  +  93 J

q = 568 J

Therefore, the magnitude of q for the process 568 J.

What is the effect of molecular weight on melting and boiling point of alkanes??​
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Their melting and boiling points of alkanes are relatively low. The higher the molecular weight (the greater the number of carbons), the higher the boiling point.
