Answer:

K

Explanation:

Ionization energy refers to the energy required to remove an electron from an atom. It usually increases across the period due to the increase in the size of the nuclear charge and decreases down the group due to increase in the number of shells.

If we look at the element, K, it has only one electron in its outermost shell. This implies that after this one electron is removed, the second ionization energy involves the removal of an electron from a filled shell.

This usually requires a lot of energy. Hence, the element having the highest difference in energy between first and second ionization energy is K.

balu736 [363]

Answer:75%

Explanation:

First, the balanced reaction equation must be written out clearly as a guide to solving the problem. The molar masses of H3PO4 and K3PO4 are then calculated as they will be consistently required in solving the problem. The theoretical yield is obtained from the amount of H3PO4 reacted. Since 1 mole of H3PO4 yields 1 mole of K3PO4, 0.05 moles of H3PO4 yields 0.05 moles of K3PO4. The mass of K3PO4 is produced is then the product of 0.05 and it molar mass hence the theoretical yield. The % yield is calculated as shown.

What is one source of organic matter in soil ?
stealth61 [152]
The original source of the soil organic matter is plant tissue. In the forest, organic matter is added in the soil mainly in the form of fallen leaves. Under natural conditions, the tops and roots of trees, shrubs, grasses and other native plants annually supply large quantities of organic residues.

How many atoms are in 24.6 moles of carbon?
alina1380 [7]

Answer: There are 148.1412\times 10^{23} atoms of carbon in the given moles.

Explanation:

We are given 24.6 moles of carbon and we need to find the number of atoms.

According to mole concept:

1 mole of an element contains 6.022\times 10^{23} number of atoms.

So, 24.6 moles of carbon will contain 24.6\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=148.1412\times 10^{23} atoms.

Hence, there are 148.1412\times 10^{23} atoms of carbon in the 24.6 moles of carbon.
