Answer:
The same holds true for pH values above 7, each of which is ten times more alkaline (another way to say basic) than the next lower whole value. For example, pH 10 is ten times more alkaline than pH 9 and 100 times (10 times 10) more alkaline than pH 8.
Explanation:
<span>STP means standard temperature
and pressure at 0°C (273K) and 1 atm (atmosphere). The density of the unknown
gas is 0.63 gram per liter. The deal gas equation is PV = nRT. The n is the
numer of moles and can be represented as mass of the gas, m, divided by the
molar mass, c. so we have,</span>
PV = nRT
PV = (m/c)RT
Since the density is d = m/V
Pc = (m/V)RT
Pc = dRT
c = drT/P
substitute the values into the equation,
c = [(0.63g/L)(0.08206
L-atm/mol-K)(273K)]/(1atm)
<u>c = 14.11 g/mol</u>
Potassium is not found free in nature but is found in the form of potash. Potash is the ore of potassium and this ore is mined from deep down the earth or can sometimes be found on the surface. Potash was mostly formed as sea water receded and left deposits.
Potash is usually in the form of potassium salts such potassium chloride and potassium sulphate. The potash is mined then taken to the factory where it is crushed and purified by removing such impurities as clay.
The now purified potassium salts are subjected to a process called electrolysis where potassium metal is obtained from its salt.
Because it requires lots of electricity to turn it into an aqueous solution so that electrolysis can be performed on it.
