Two samples of potassium iodide are decomposed into their constituent elements. The first sample produced 13.0g of potassium and

Leona [35]

Answer:

79.43kg

Explanation:

To adequately solve this problem, we should know the law of constant composition. This is a pointer to the fact that no matter the type of sample, the percentage compositions of potassium and iodine still remains the same. We can use these masses to get a formula and we would know the percentage compositions in whatever mass we are dealing with.

First of all, we add the masses in the first sample. 13 + 42.3 = 55.3

Hence, the percentage composition of the potassium is 13/55.3 * 100 = 23.51%

The percentage composition of the iodine is = 100 - 23.51 = 76.49%

Now, we need to get the formula of the compound. We can get this by dividing the percentage compositions with the atomic masses. The atomic mass of potassium and iodine is 39 and 127 respectively.

Potassium = 23.51/39 =0.603

Iodine = 76.49/127 = 0.602

We then divide by the smaller value to get the formula and this shoes our formula is KI

We can see they have a ratio of 1 to 1, meaning one atom of potassium to one atom of iodine. This further confirms the percentage compositions of 23.5 to 76.5

Now to get the mass of iodine yielded, let us say the mass is xkg

This means x/(x + 24.4) * 100 = 76.5

100x = 76.5( x + 24.4)

100x = 76.5x + 1866.6

100x - 76.5x = 1866.6

23.5x = 1866.6

x = 1866.6/23.5 = 79.43kg

Using the development of the atomic model.explain how scientists refine and build off each other’s findings, in order to develop

sineoko [7]

<span>The Atomic Model was something that was first developed by Neils Bohr. Several years later, Schrodinger took Bohr's basis of a theory and developed it into something larger. So as we can see, theories are a bit like puzzles. When first starting out, one person develops something, or has an idea on something. Others trying to either prove or disprove the original findings, will then test things in a new way, revealing more and more of the puzzle. As the puzzle becomes more and more clear, there is more and more that is revealed. Eventually, we get to a point where we have almost the entire picture, however we are still missing a few key pieces that complete the puzzle. We can see the big picture, but you can not exactly prove out what exactly the details are. This is how scientists such as Bohr and Schrodinger use each others research to build and refine theories. Eventually, we reach a point where we are only missing maybe one or two pieces, and at that point, a theory transitions into almost fact, such as evolution.</span>

How do glaciers cause erosion and deposition

koban [17]

Like flowing water, flowing ice erodes the land and deposits the material elsewhere. Glaciers cause erosion in two main ways: plucking and abrasion.
Plucking is the process by which rocks and other sediments are picked up by a glacier. They freeze to the bottom of the glacier and are carried away by the flowing ice.
The other way you'll need more informations because my Knowledges are limited by here.
