Answer: 2

Explanation: Potassium, K, has only 1 valence electron, 4s^1.  Oxygen, O, needs 2 more electrons to complete its valence shell to make 8 electrons.  That means 2 K atoms will combine with 1 O atom, to produce K2O, potassium oxide.  Both K electrons are stolen by the single O atom, so 2 electrons are transferred.

A sample of water is heated from 60.0 °C to 75.0°C by the addition of 140 j of
kupik [55]

Mass of the water : 2.23 g

<h3>Furter explanation</h3>

Heat

Q = m.c.Δt

m= mass, g

c = heat capacity, for water : 4.18 J/g° C.

ΔT = temperature

Q= 140 J

Δt = 75 - 60 = 15

mass of the water :

\tt m=\dfrac{Q}{c.\Delta T}=\dfrac{140}{4.18\times 15}=2.23~g
