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.

Answer:
Percent yield: 78.2%
Explanation:
Based on the reaction:
4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃
<em>4 moles of Al produce 2 moles of Al₂O₃</em>
<em />
To find percent yield we need to find theoretical yield (Assuming a yield of 100%) and using:
(Actual yield (6.8g) / Theoretical yield) × 100
Moles of 4.6g of Al (Molar mass: 26.98g/mol) are:
4.6g Al × (1mol / 26.98g) = 0.1705 moles of Al.
As 4 moles of Al produce 2 moles of Al₂O₃, theoretical moles of Al₂O₃ obtained from 0.1705 moles of Al are:
0.17505 moles Al × (2 moles Al₂O₃ / 4 moles Al) = <em>0.0852 moles of Al₂O₃</em>,
In grams (Molar mass Al₂O₃ = 101.96g/mol):
0.0852 moles of Al₂O₃ × (101.96g / mol) =
<h3>8.7g of Al₂O₃ can be produced (Theoretical yield)</h3>
Thus, Percent yield is:
(6.8g / 8.7g) × 100 =
<h3>
78.2% </h3>
The correct answer would be the third option. There would be two atoms that can form hydrogen bonds with the water molecules from the molecule NH2CH2CH2OH. The atoms O and N could make hydrogen bonds with H. Hydrogen bond is an intermolecular force that is a dipole-dipole interaction between a hydrogen and an atom of O, F and N.
C. CO2 is the compound (carbon dioxide) while N2 is the element (nitrogen)
