The two isotopes of potassium with significant abundance in nature are 39K asotopic mass 38.9637 amu, 932.58%) and 41K Osotopic m

ass 40.9618 amu, 6.730%). Fluorine has only one naturally occurring isotope, 19F (isotopic mass 18.9984 amu). Calculate the formula mass of potassium fluoride.

Answer:

\boxed{\text{58.0919 u}}

Explanation:

1. Atomic mass of K

To get the atomic mass of K, you calculate the weighted average of the isotopic masses.

That is, you multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by a number representing its relative importance (e.g., its percent of the total).

Set up a table for easy calculation:

\begin{array}{ccrcr}\textbf{Atom} & \textbf{Mass/u} &\textbf{Percent} & \textbf{Calculation}& \textbf{Result/u}\\^{39}\text{K}& 38.9637 & 93.258 & 38.9637 \times 0.932 58 & 36.3368\\^{41}\text{K}& 40.9618 & 6.730 & 40.9618 \times 0.06730& 2.7567\\& & \text{TOTAL } = &\textbf{39.0935}\\\end{array}

2. Formula mass of KF

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{K} & = & \text{39.0935 u}\\\text{F} & = & \text{18.9984 u}\\\text{Total} & = & \textbf{58.0919 u}\\\end{array}\\\text{The formula mass using only the two isotopes of K is $\boxed{\textbf{58.0919 u}}$}

Explanation . Claim: How solar cells different from silicon.                               evidence-The most promising group of these new materials are called hybrid lead halide perovskites, which appear to promise a revolution in the field of solar energy.Pure crystalline silicon is a poor conductor of electricity as it is a semiconductor material at its core.In a solar cell, the layers are positioned next to each other and that way an electric field is created.Crystalline silicon cells are made of silicon atoms connected to one another to form a crystal lattice. This lattice provides an organized structure that makes conversion of light into electricity more efficient.Solar cells are made from silicon boules. These are polycrystalline structures that have the atomic structure of a single crystal. The most commonly used method for the creation of the boule is known as the Czochralski method.

Reasoning: Traditional crystalline solar cells are typically made of silicon. An organic solar cell uses carbon-based materials and organic electronics instead of silicon as a semiconductor to produce electricity from the sun. Organic cells are also sometimes referred to as “plastic solar cells” or “polymer solar cells” hybrid perovskites Libai Huang, assistant professor of chemistry at Purdue, says the new material, called a hybrid perovskites, would create solar cells thinner than conventional silicon solar cells, and is also flexible, cheap and easy to make.

10.The electroscope is a fairly simple device comprised of a metal rod with two thin leaves attached to one end. If the electroscope is given a negative charge, the metal leaves will separate from each other. It is this characteristic that makes the electroscope useful as a detection device. A negatively charged electroscope will discharge when ions in the air remove electrons from it, and consequently, a positively charged electroscope will discharge when it takes electrons from the air around it. The rate of discharge of the electroscope is a measure of ions in the air and can be used as a basis of measurement and detection

what is the structure of XeO2F2???i know its hybridization as sp3d but cannot quite understand its diagram in free space,help an
skelet666 [1.2K]
The shape of XeO₂F₂ is Trigonal bi-pyramidal see-saw tetrahedron (see attached pictures)
- As you said the hybridization of Xe here is sp³d so its geometry has to be Trigonal bi-pyramidal in which F atom located on axial positions but for the final shape we exclude lone pair on Xe to give see-saw shape (see second picture) 
- Remember that we have 5 pairs (4 bond pairs + 1 lone pair) and we have to place lone pair at equatorial position.
