It's 1 because there is only one electron on the outer shell.
Studentka2010 [4]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As it is known that both sodium and potassium are same group elements. Both of then belongs to group 1A.

Since, sodium is at 11th position in the periodic table and its atomic number is also 11. Therefore, electronic distribution of sodium is 2, 8, 1.

Similarly, potassium is placed at 19th position in the periodic table and its atomic number is 19. So, electronic distribution of potassium is 2, 8, 8, 1.

It is known that valence electrons are the electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom.

So, in a potassium atom there is only one valence electron is present.

Thus, we can conclude that potassium have 1 valence electron.

When a solution forms, what interactions between particles are involved? Which are exothermic? Which are endothermic?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are three types of interactions involved between the particles when solution are formed.

1 : Solute - solute interaction:

2 : Solute - solvent interaction:

3 : Solvent - solvent interaction:

1 : Solute - solute interaction:

It is the inter-molecular attraction between the solute particles.

2 : Solute - solvent interaction:

It involve the inter-molecular attraction between solvent and solute particles.

3 : Solvent - solvent interaction:

It involve the intermolecular attraction between solvent particles.

Solutions are formed if the intermolecular attraction between solute particles are similar to the attraction between solvent particles.

Exothermic process:

The process will exothermic when solute solvent bonds are formed with the release of energy and energy required to brake the solute-solute particles and solvent solvent particles are less.

Endothermic process:

The process will be endothermic when energy required to break the solute-solute particles and solvent solvent particles are higher than energy released when solute solvent bonds are formed .

An electrochemical cell is constructed with a zinc metal anode in contact with a 0.052 M solution of zinc nitrate and a silver c
lana [24]

Answer:

Q = 12.38

Explanation:

The Nernst equation is given as; Ecell = E°cell - (2.303RT/nF) log Q  ;where Q is the reaction quotient.

The reaction quotient, Q  in a reaction, is the product of the concentrations of the products divided by the product of the concentrations of the reactants.

In an electrochemical cell, Q is the ratio of the concentration of the electrolyte at the anode to that of the electrolyte at the cathode.

Q = [anode]/[cathode]

therefore , Q = 0.052/0.0042 = 12.38

How does maximum boiling azeotropic mixture is separated using fractional distillation?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

By heating the mixture to maximum boiling point and then the solution is distilled at a constant temperature without having a change in composition.

Explanation:

An azeotropic mixture is also called a constant boiling mixture and it is a mixture of two or more liquids whose proportions cannot be altered by simple distillation due to the fact that when an azeotropic mixture is boiled, the vapor has the same proportions of constituents as the unboiled mixture.

Now, maximum boiling azeotropic mixture are the solutions with negative deviations that have an intermediate composition  for which the vapor pressure of the solution is minimum and as a result, the boiling point is maximum. At that point, the solution will distill at a constant temperature without having a change in composition.

a quantity of gas has a volume of 400.0 mL when confined under a pressure of 600.0mm Hg. what will be the new volume of the gas
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

1200 mL

Explanation:

Given data

  • Initial pressure (P₁): 600.0 mmHg
  • Initial volume (V₁): 400.0 mL
  • Final pressure (P₂): 200.0 mmHg
  • Final volume (V₂): ?

For a gaseous sample, there is an inverse relationship between the pressure and the volume. If we consider the gas as an ideal gas, we can find the final volume using Boyle's law.

P_1 \times V_1 = P_2 \times V_2\\V_2 = \frac{P_1 \times V_1}{P_2} = \frac{600.0mmHg \times 400.0mL}{200.0mmHg}=1200 mL
