would you expect potassium to have a high electronegativity or a low electronegativity? explain your answer
GalinKa [24]

A low electronegativity

Explanation:

Potassium is a metal that is expected to have a very low electronegativity value.

Electronegativity is the relative tendency by which an atom attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond.

Potassium is an element in the first group on the periodic table.

The common trend is that electronegativity increases from left to right and decreases down a group.

  • Potassium as metal will prefer to lose electrons rather than attracting because that will make it achieve the octet configuration that will ensure its stability.
  • This is why it will have low electronegativity.

What is the ph of a solution of 0.550 m k2hpo4, potassium hydrogen phosphate?
Solnce55 [7]
We assume that we have Ka= 4.2x10^-13 (missing in the question)
and when we have this equation:
H2PO4 (-) → H+  + HPO4-
and form the Ka equation we can get [H+]:
Ka= [H+] [HPO4-] / [H2PO4] and we have Ka= 4.2x10^-13 & [H2PO4-] = 0.55m
by substitution:
4.2x10^-13 = (z)(z)/ 0.55
z^2 = 2.31x 10^-13
z= 4.81x10^-7
∴[H+] = 4.81x10^-7
when PH equation is:

PH= -㏒[H+]
     = -㏒(4.81x10^-7) = 6.32

What is the pressure in a 245 L tank that contains 5.21 kg of helium at 27 Celsius ​
Kitty [74]
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

(These are not rounded to the correct decimal)

130.94 atm

13,266.6 kPa

99,571.4 mmHg

<h2><u>Explanation:</u></h2>

<u></u>

PV = nRT

V = 245L

P = ?

R = 0.08206 (atm) , 8.314 (kPa) , 62.4 (mmHg)

T = 273.15 + 27 = 300.15K

n = 1302.5 moles

How I found (n).

5.21kg x 1000g/1kg x 1 mole/4.0g = 1302.5 moles

Now, plug all the numbers into the equation.

Pressure in atm = (1302.5)(0.08206)(300.15) / 245 = 130.94 atm (not rounded to the correct decimal)

Pressure in kPa = (1302.5)(8.314)(300.15) / 245 = 13,266.6 kPa (not rounded to the correct decimal)

Pressure in mmHg = (1302.5)(62.4)(300.15) / 245 = 99,571.4 mmHg (not rounded to the correct decimal)
