What will occur when potassium reacts with sulfur?

1 answer:

4 0

The electrons are transferred from potassium to sulphur, in this reaction, potassium is being oxidised and sulphur is being reduced. Two potassium atoms each lose one electron forming K+ ions. Sulphur gains two electrons forming S2-/2- ions. The resultant formula will be: K2S, bonding in this compound is ionic.

Radium has a half-life of 1,620 years. In how many years will a 1 kg sample of radium decay and reduce to 0.125 kg of radium?

Tasya [4]

We can calculate years by using the half-life equation. It is expressed as:

A = Ao e^-kt

<span>where A is the amount left at t years, Ao is the initial concentration, and k is a constant.

</span>From the half-life data, we can calculate for k.

1/2(Ao) = Ao e^-k(1620)
<span>k = 4.28 x 10^-4
</span>
0.125 = 1 e^-<span>4.28 x 10^-4 (</span>t)
t = 4259 years

Write the condensed ground-state electron configurations of these transition metal ions, and state which are paramagnetic:

serg [7]

The ground-state electron configurations of $Cd^{2+}$ transition metal ions are diamagnetic [Kr] $4d^{10}$ . The ion is diamagnetic because there all electrons are paired.

<h3>What is Diamagnetic?</h3>

A magnetic field repels diamagnetic materials because it induces an opposing magnetic field in them when it is applied, which produces a repelling force.
In contrast, a magnetic field draws paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials together.
All materials experience the quantum mechanical phenomenon known as diamagnetism, which is the only source of magnetism in a material.
The magnetic dipoles within paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials exert an attracting force that outweighs the modest diamagnetic force.
Diamagnetic materials have a magnetic permeability that is less than vacuum, or 0.
Although superconductors behave as strong diamagnets, diamagnetism is often a modest effect that can only be observed by sophisticated laboratory equipment.
