8 0

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.

Mkey [24]
Oil molecules like to stick to other oil molecules more than they like to stick to water molecules. This is because mineral oil has nonpolar molecules and water has polar ones.

A gas occupies a volume of 2.4 L at 14.1 kPa. What volume will the gas occupy at 84.6 kPa?
Naddik [55]

Answer:

  • <u>0.40 L</u>

Explanation:

Boyle's law for gases states that, at constant temperature, the volume and pressure of a fixed amount of gas are inversely related.

Mathematically, that is:

  • PV = constant

  • P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Here, you have:

  • V₁ = 2.4 L
  • P₁ = 14.1 Kpa
  • P₂ = 84.6 KPa
  • V₂ = ?

Then, you can solve for V₂:

  • V₂ = P₁V₁ / P₂

Substitute and compute:

  • V₂ = 14.1 KPa × 2.4L / 84.6 KPa = 0.40 L ← answer

What initially forms as pale blue and pale green precipitate when nh3 is added to cuh2o6?
andre [41]
The chemical equation that shows the reaction between nh3 and cuh206 is detailed as: [Cu(H2O)6]2+ (aq) + 2NH3(aq). —> [Cu(OH)2(H2O)4](s) + 2NH4 + (aq). the blue precipitate is Cu(OH)2(H2O)4 in which the blue color is caused by the Cu present in the solid.
