Answer:

40.06 amu.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Isotope A (K-39)

Mass of A = 39 amu

Abundance of A = 23%

Isotope B (K-40)

Mass of B = 40 amu

Abundance of B = 48%

Isotope C (K-41)

Mass of C = 41 amu

Abundance of C = 100 – (23 + 48)

Abundance of C = 100 – 71

Abundance of C = 29%

Average mass =?

Average mass = [(Mass of A × A%)/100] + [(Mass of B × B%)/100] + [(Mass of C × C%)/100]

= [(39 × 23)/100] + [(40 × 48)/100] + [(41 × 29)/100]

= 8.97 + 19.2 + 11.89

= 40.06 amu

Thus, the average mass of potassium is 40.06 amu

What does the 4 indicate in 1s22s22p4? 4th subshell 4 electrons 4th energy level
kupik [55]

Answer: The number 4 indicates 4 electrons.

Explanation: We are given an electronic configuration, which is:

1s^22s^22p^4

Here,

  • The letters denote the sub-shells of an element.
  • The numbers written before the letters which are 1, 2 and 2 represents the Principle Quantum Number and these represents the energy level of the sub-shells.
  • The number which are written in the superscripts which are 2, 2 and 4 denotes the electrons which are present in the sub-shell.

Hence, 4 indicates 4 electrons present in 2p sub-shell.

How does a system at equilibrium respond to the addition of more reactant
grin007 [14]

Answer:

It favors the forward reaction.

Explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's Principle, when a system at equilibrium suffers a perturbation, the system will react in order to counteract the effect of such perturbation.

If more reactant is added, the system will try to decrease its concentration. It will do so by favoring the forward reaction, decreasing the concentration of the reactant  and increasing the concentration of the products, in order to re-establish the equilibrium.

Question 12 of 25
NISA [10]

Answer:

B. Equal amounts of all gases have the same volume at the same

conditions

Explanation:

Amedo Avogadro found the relationship between volume of a gas and the number of molecules contained in the volume.

The law states that "equal volumes of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contains equal number of molecules or moles".

The law describes the behavior of gases when involve in chemical reactions. It enables one to change over at will in any statement about gases from volumes to molecules and vice versa.

So, the right option is B which implies that equal amounts of all gases have the same volume at the same conditions.
