Answer:

soluble because all compounds containing K are soluble

Explanation:

Most metal hydroxides are insoluble. However, alkali metal hydroxides (such as KOH and NaOH) are very soluble.

In the case of KOH, the K cation is attracted to the electronegative oxygen on water. The OH anion is capable of hydrogen bonding to the water. (Notice how OH⁻ is simply the deprotonated form of water.)

 how are subscripts determine the formula of ionic and covalent compounds ?
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

To determine the correct subscripts in a chemical formula, you have to solve how many atoms you need to balance the charge.

For example if I had the compound Calcium Fluoride I would look at the periodic table and see that Calcium's ionic formula is

Ca2+

. How do I know this? Well all elements want to have 8 valance electrons so they can be stable(happy). Seeing that Calcium has 2 valance electrons it is going to give away 2 electrons because that is easier than gaining 6 to be happy. Since Calcium has given away 2 electrons it has two more protons than electrons. We know that Protons have a Positive charge, Electrons have Negative charge, and the number of electrons is equal to the atomic number of an element in its pure non-ionic state. (Meaning it doesn't have a positive or negative charge; it is balanced.)

So if calcium gave away two electrons, it will have two more protons than an electron giving it a (2+) charge. The same process can be applied to Fluoride. Since fluoride is one to the left of the noble gases(group 18 or 8A) on the periodic table we know that it has 7 valance electrons because it is in group 7A or 17.

Knowing that we have 7 electrons the fluoride atom will gain an extra electron. Since the fluoride atom gained an extra electron it will have one more negative charge than a positive making it a ^(−)ion.

So you know that Calcium has a 2+ charge and that fluoride has a 1- charge, you then need these ions to balance out. So you need two fluorine atoms with a 1- ions to balance out the 2+ ion of calcium. Your final answer would be

CaF2

because you need two fluorine atoms to balance out the 2+ charge of the calcium.

Final Tip: Determine the charges then inverse the charges, remove the positive and negative superscipts, and write the charge numbers as a sub script. Ie. Calcium Fluoride

Ca2+ and F−

inversing and removing the charge signs would give you

Which state of matter has the MOST energy?
Ierofanga [76]

The state of matter that has the most energy is gas. In a solid, there is limited room for molecules to move around.

The gas state of matter has the most energy because of how freely the molecules move. Matter is a physical substance of which there are three, and they are solid, liquid, and gas. Solid matter is very compact with the particles very close together and not much movement; therefore, no action, no energy.

I'm stuck on this assignment, +20 PTS and BRAINLIEST for step by step:
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

2. 2.74 L

3. 488 K

4. 7.47 L

5. 38.6 L

6. 2.85 mol

7. 319 K

8. 3.43 kPa

Explanation:

Generally speaking, you want to convert units to SI units, but in this case, we are working with ratios.  This makes up for using the units that wouldn't appropriate elsewhere.

2.  Use the equation P₁V₁ = P₂V₂.  Solve for V₂.  

(3.05 L)(870 kPa) = (969 kPa)(V₂)  

V₂ = 2.74 L.  

3.  Use the equation V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂. Solve for T₂.  

(3.32 L)/(360 K) = (4.50 L)/(T₂)  

T₂ = 488 K.

4.  Do the same as above, but for V₂.  

(5.10 L)/(-56°C) = V₂/(-82°C)  

V₂ = 7.47 L

5.  Use the equation V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂.  Solve for V₂.  

(37.2 L)/(0.750 mol) = (V₂)/(0.778 mol)  

V₂ = 38.6 L

6.  Do the same as above, but for n₂.

(86.0 L)/(2.65 mol) = (92.5 L)(n₂)  

n₂ = 2.85 mol

7.  Use the equation P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂.  Solve for T₂.  

(3.00 atm)/(390 K) = (2.45 atm)/(T₂)  

T₂ = 319 K

8.  Do the same as above, but for P₂.  

In this specific case, however you will need to convert units.  Since both temperatures don't have the same sign, the ratio won't come out right.  Convert to Kelvin.  Add 273.15 to the temperature in Celsius to convert to Kelvin -12.3°C = 260.85 K  25°C = 298.15 K.

(3.00 kPa)/(260.85 K) = P₂/(298.15 K)

P₂ = 3.43 kPa

There is a lot in here... If you are confused about something, let me know!
