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.

Calculate the kinetic energy of a baseball (mass = 5.25 oz) with a velocity of 1.0 x 10^2 mi/h
pychu [463]

Answer:

262.5 Joules

Explanation:

You find the kinetic energy of multiplying half of the mass by the velocity. In this word problem it tells you the mass so you divide it by 2. That answer is 2.625, you then multiply that by the velocity, in this instance it's 1.0 x 10^2 mi/h.

The unit in kinetic energy is Joules. This is actually a really important part in chemistry and physics.

Many metals react with acids to produce hydrogen gas. A certain reaction produces 32.6 L of hydrogen gas at STP. How many moles
morpeh [17]

Answer: 1.46moles

Explanation:

Applying PV= nRT

P= 1atm, V= 32.6L, R= 0.082, T = 273K

Substitute and simplify

1×32.6/(0.082×273)=n

n= 1.46moles
