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.

Answer:

hope it helps..

Explanation:

'Motile' (or moving) cilia are found in the lungs, respiratory tract and middle ear. ... These cilia have a rhythmic waving or beating motion. They work, for instance, to keep the airways clear of mucus and dirt, allowing us to breathe easily and without irritation.

5 Facts about Geology
Bingel [31]
1-There are 18 volcanoes in the US with the potential to erupt again, all of them in Alaska, Hawaii and the West Coast states.

2-Rubies and sapphires are actually the same mineral - corundum. The basic chemical formula of corundum is Al2O3, but traces of iron stain the mineral red (ruby) while traces of chromium or titanium stain the mineral blue (sapphire).

3-Rubies, sapphires and emeralds are all more rare than diamonds.

4-Not all diamonds are transparent. They come in a variety of colors (called "fancies"), including yellow, green, blue, orange, brown ("champagne"), purple, grey, black (called carbanado, recently shown to be meteroic), milky white, pink, and red. Red is by far the rarest.

5-Antacids taste like chalk because they ARE chalk, a.k.a. calcium carbonate.

How is the molar heat of sublimation related to the molar heats of vaporization and fusion? On what law are these relationships
Dovator [93]

Answer: Hsub=Hfus+Hvap

Explanation:

The molar heat of vaporization measured in kilojoules per mole, or kJ/mol is the energy needed to make vapor one mole of a liquid. .

The molar heat of sublimation measured in kilojoules per mole, or kJ/mol is the energy needed to sublime one mole of a solid,

the molar heat of fusion measured in kilojoules per mole, or kJ/mol is the energy needed to melt one mole of a solid.

Hess law helps to explain the relationship in physical chemistry stating that the total enthalpy change during the complete course of a reaction is the same whether the reaction is made in one step or in several steps.

In this context Hess’s law helps to see the several steps involved as the heat of sublimation energy is equal to the sum of vaporization energy and fusion energy.
