QUICK QUESTION: On the Bohr model, how come potassium has 19 electrons in its valence shell if potassium has a K+? Isn’t it supp

ose to have 18 electrons? I thought that if an ion has a positive charge, the atom has lost electrons. Pls help me

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.

A 135 g sample of a metal requires 2.50 kJ to change its temperature from 19.5°C to 95.5°C to 100.0°C?
just olya [345]

Answer:

0.23J/g°C

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of sample  = 135g

Amount of heat  = 2.5kJ

Initial temperature  = 19.5°c

Final temperature  = 100°C

Unknown:

Specific heat capacity of the metal  = ?

Solution:

The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat required to the raise the temperature of 1g of the substance by 1°C.

   H  = m C (T₂ - T₁ )

H is the amount of heat

m is the mass

C is the specific heat capacity

T₂ is the final temperature

T₁ is the initial temperature;

     2.5 x 10³  = 135 x C x (100 - 19.5)

     2500 = 10867.5C

       C = \frac{2500}{10867.5}   = 0.23J/g°C
