It's 1 because there is only one electron on the outer shell.

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.

The ksp of pbi2 is 1.4 x 10-8. what is the molar solubility of lead(ii iodide in a solution of 0.400 m sodium iodide?
tino4ka555 [31]
The solubility product of a substance us calculated by the product of the concentration of the dissociated ions in the solution raise to the stoichiometric coefficient of the ions. Therefore, we need the dissociation reaction. For this, it will have the reaction:

PbI2 = Pb^2+ + 2I-

We solve as follows:

Ksp = [Pb2+][I-]^2 = <span>1.4 x 10-8
</span><span>1.4 x 10-8 = x(2x)^2
</span><span>1.4 x 10-8 = 4x^3
x = 1.5x10^-3 M

The molar solubility would be </span>1.5x10^-3 M.

The value of Kp for the reaction NO(g) 1 1 2 O2(g) 4 NO2(g) is 1.5 3 106 at 25°C. At equilibrium, what is the ratio of PNO2 to P
expeople1 [14]

Answer : The ratio of p_{NO_2} to p_{NO} is, 6.87\times 10^5

Solution :  Given,

K_p=1.5\times 10^6

p_{O_2} = 0.21 atm

The given equilibrium reaction is,

NO(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2\rightleftharpoons NO_2(g)

The expression of K_p will be,

K_p=\frac{(p_{NO_2})}{(p_{NO})\times (p_{O_2})^{\frac{1}{2}}}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

1.5\times 10^6=\frac{(p_{NO_2})}{(p_{NO})\times (0.21)^{\frac{1}{2}}}

\frac{(p_{NO_2})}{(p_{NO})}=(1.5\times 10^6)\times (0.21)^{\frac{1}{2}}

\frac{(p_{NO_2})}{(p_{NO})}=6.87\times 10^5

Therefore, the ratio of p_{NO_2} to p_{NO} is, 6.87\times 10^5

4.2g of sodium bicarbonate is equivalent to how many moles of sodium bicarbonate
Mnenie [13.5K]
<span>The mass of one mole of sodium bicarbonate (aka NaHCO3) is equal to 1 * 22.99g/mol + 1 * 1.00g/mol + 1 * 12.01g/mol + 3 * 16.00g/mol = 83.91g/mol. From this, we can convert 4.2g of NaHCO3 to moles by dividing by 83.91g/mol, to get 0.050 moles of sodium bicarbonate.</span>
