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.

There are 48.72 g  Fluorine ions

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Proust stated the Comparative Law that compounds are formed from elements with the same Mass Comparison so that the compound has a fixed composition of elements

In the same compound, although from different sources and formed by different processes, it will still have the same composition/comparison

%F in CaF₂ :

\tt \%F=\dfrac{2.Ar~F}{MW~CaF_2}\times 100\%\\\\\%F=\dfrac{2.19}{78}\times 100\5=48.72\%

mass of Fluorine :

\tt 48.72\%\times 200=97.44~g

So mass Fluorine ions(2 ions F in CaF₂⇒Ca²⁺+2F⁻) :

\tt =\dfrac{97.44}{2}=48.72~g

Determine how many ml of water you need to remove, by evaporation, if you have a 500 ml of 10.20 M HNO3 dilute solution and you
Ludmilka [50]

The total volume of water that would be removed will be 75 mL

<h3>Dilution equation</h3>

Using the dilution equation:

M1V1 = M2V2

In this case, M1 = 500 mL, V1 = 10.20 M, M2 = 12 M

Substitute:

V2 = 500 x 10.20/12

         = 425 mL

The final volume in order to arrive at 12 M HNO3 would be 425 mL from the initial 500 mL. Thus, the total amount of water that will be removed by evaporation can be calculated as:

500 - 425 = 75 mL

What mass of copper is deposited when a current of 10.0a is passed through a solution of copper(ii) nitrate for 30.6 seconds?
asambeis [7]
Data Given:

Time = t = 30.6 s

Current = I = 10 A

Faradays Constant = F = 96500

Chemical equivalent = e = 63.54/2 = 31.77 g

Amount Deposited = W = ?

Solution:
             According to Faraday's Law,

                                          W  =  I t e / F

Putting Values,
 
                            W  =  (10 A × 30.6 s × 31.77 g) ÷ 96500

                            W  =  0.100 g

Result:
           0.100 g of Cu
²⁺ is deposited.
