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.

Typically, the actual yield is lower than the theoretical yield because few reactions complete (i.e., are not 100% efficient) or because not all of the product in a reaction is collected. It is also conceivable for the real yield to exceed the theoretical yield.

What is theoretical yield ?

Theoretical yield is what would be obtained if 100% of the reaction was completed and no product was wasted in any way; however, procedures are not this efficient. Everything is dependent on the experimenter's precision and the reaction. Some reactions are reversible, meaning that less than 100% of the reaction proceeds to completion; some reactions do not go to completion because they require a large amount of energy or additional time, for example. Substances in the reaction may be lost throughout the method or difficult to separate from other sections of the experiment. In chemistry, some degree of inaccuracy is always expected.

What is the relationship between the circulatory and respiratory systems?
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The circulatory and respiratory systems work together to circulate blood and oxygen throughout the body. Air moves in and out of the lungs through the trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles. Blood moves in and out of the lungs through the pulmonary arteries and veins that connect to the heart

Logan is cooking, and he wants to increase the boiling point of the water. Which solute would not be a good choice as it would n
Mars2501 [29]
Sugar would not increase the boiling point of the water as much as the others.To show this, we recall the equation for boiling point elevation ∆t:  
     ∆t = i Kb m 

The difference in these four solutions will be in the product of the van't Hoff Factor i and molality m: i * m. 

If we assume that we have 0.1m of each solute, the products i*m for these solutions are:
     
     Solution                      Identity of particles                          i      i * m
        0.1 m NaCl                 Na+, Cl-                                         2     2 * 0.1 = 0.2
        0.1 m MgSO4             Mg^2+, SO4^2-                            2     2 * 0.1 = 0.2
        0.1 m K2SO4              two K+, SO4^2-                           3     3 * 0.1 = 0.3
        0.1 m C12H22O11      covalently bonded molecules     1     1 * 0.1 = 0.1

Therefore, having the lowest  i * m, sucrose will have the lowest boiling point elevation.

Ampicillin is a bacteriostatic antibiotic. (Instead of killing bacteria, it inhibits their growth.) Ramon plated bacteria transf
love history [14]

Answer:

A) That resistance in bacteria is produced due to inactivation of ampicillin by the beta lactamase enzyme. This enzyme is expressed by the bla gene found in the plasmid. This enzyme is secreted into the culture medium, thereby inactivating ampicillin. Thanks to this inactivation, the bacteria colonies will be able to develop. After a day of incubation, only those bacteria that took the plasmid that gives them resistance to ampicillin will grow after transformation. After prolonged incubation, two types of colonies can be observed in the culture medium. One large colony with ampicillin resistance, and another small colony, both of which are sensitive to ampicillin.

B) Large colonies are characterized by being resistant to ampicillin. When Ramón isolates the plasmid, he will have the gene that provides resistance to antibiotics. Said plasmid can be used again on those bacteria that are sensitive to ampicillin.

On the other hand, satellite colonies are sensitive to ampicillin. These types of colonies do not have the plasmid that contains the gene that gives ampicillin resistance. It is not possible to isolate any plasmids from these satellite colonies. These satellite bacteria will not be able to grow if they are transferred to a plate containing fresh ampicillin, while large colonies, which possess the plasmid that gives them resistance to ampicillin, will be able to grow on that plate.
