What happens to the potassium atom when it reacts with the chlorine atom? What is the electron configuration of the potassium af

ter the change?

hodyreva [135]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Potassium is a metal. Remember that metals are electropositive in nature. This implies that they give out electrons when they undergo ionic bonding with nonmetals.

Chlorine is a nonmetal. So the bond between chlorine and potassium is ionic.  Potassium gives out one electron to chlorine and the both ions now attain a stable octet.

The electronic configuration of potassium is [Ar]4s1. After giving out an electron to chlorine in an ionic bond, its electronic configuration is now [Ar].

Gasoline has a density of .74g/mL. How many milliliter if gasoline have a mass of 2.5kg?
nata0808 [166]

Answer: 3378.4mL

Explanation:

density of Gasoline = 0.74g/mL.

Volume of gasoline in milliliter = ?

mass of gasoline = 2.5kg

(Since density is in grams per millilitre, convert mass in kilograms to grams)

If 1kg = 1000grams

2.5kg = 2.5 x 1000 = 2500grams

Recall that density is obtained by dividing the mass of a substance by its volume

i.e Density = Mass / Volume

0.74g/mL = 2500grams/Volume

Volume = (2500 grams / 0.74g/mL)

Volume = 3378.4mL

Thus, the volume of gasoline is 3378.4mL

sattari [20]

Answer:

Step 1;

q = w = -0.52571 kJ, ΔS = 0.876 J/K

Step 2

q = 0, w = ΔU = -7.5 kJ, ΔH = -5.00574 kJ

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

P_i = 100 N·m

T_i = 327 K

P_f = 90 N·m

Step 1

For isothermal expansion, we have;

ΔU = ΔH = 0

w = n·R·T·ln(P_f/P_i) = 1 × 8.314 × 600.15 × ln(90/100) = -525.71

w ≈<em> -0.52571</em> kJ

At state 1, q = w = -0.52571 kJ

ΔS = -n·R·ln(P_f/P_i) = -1 × 8.314 × ln(90/100) ≈ 0.876

ΔS ≈ 0.876 J/K

Step 2

q = 0 for adiabatic process

ΔU = 25×(27 - 327) = -7,500

w = ΔU = <em>-7.5 kJ</em>

ΔH = ΔU + n·R·ΔT

ΔH = -7,500 + 8.3142 × 300 = -5,005.74

ΔH = ΔU = <em>-5.00574 kJ</em>
