Answer:  K only has 1 valence electron.  It will leave with only a little effort, leaving behind a positively charged K^+1 atom.

Explanation:  A neutral potassium atom has 19 total electrons.  But only 1 of them is in potassium's valence shell.  Valence shell means the outermost s and p orbitals.  Potasium's electron configuration is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^1.  The 4s orbital is the only orbital in the 4th energy level.  So it has a valency of 1.  This means this electron will be the most likely to leave, since it is the lone electron in the oyutermost energy level (4).  When that electron leaves, the charge on the atom go up by 1.  The atom now has a full valence shell of 3s^2 3p^6, the same as argon, Ar.

What mass of KNO, will dissolve in 100 g of water at 100°C?
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

About 170-180 grams of potassium nitrate are completely dissolved in 100 g.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the reported solubility data for potassium nitrate at different temperatures on the attached picture, it is possible to bear out that about 170-180 grams of potassium nitrate are completely dissolved in 100 g; considering that the solubility is the maximum amount of a solute that can be dissolved in a solvent, in this case water.

Best regards!

7) Explain how tsunamis are formed. How do tsunamis change the surface of the Earth?
antiseptic1488 [7]
A tsunami is a series of waves generated in an ocean or other body of water by a disturbance such as an earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption, or meteorite impact. The picture at the left shows how an earthquake can generate a tsunami in the overlying water.

By washing away large surfaces of land and depositing it in a different area. Also does damage to structures and deposits salt into the soil.
