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.

masha68 [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is "-268.667°C".

Explanation:

Given:

Temperature,

= 4.483 K (below)

Now,

The formula of temperature conversion will be:

⇒ T(^{\circ} C)=T(K)-273.15

By putting the values, we get

⇒            =4.483-273.15

⇒            =-268.667^{\circ} C

Thus the above is the correct answer.

Calculate the number of O atoms in 0.150 g of CaSO4 · 2H2O.
natulia [17]

Answer:

There are 0.00523 moles of oxygen in 0.150 grams of calcium sulfate crystal.

Explanation:

Mass of calcium sulfate crystal = m = 0.150 g

Molar mass of calcium sulfate crystal = M = 172 g/mol

Moles of magnesium nitrate = n

n=\frac{m}{M}

n=\frac{0.150 g}{172 g/mol}=0.0008721 mol

1 mole of calcium sulfate crystal has 6 moles of oxygen atoms. Then 0.004446 moles calcium sulfate crystal will have :

6\times 0.0008721 mol=0.0052326mol\approx 0.00523 mol

There are 0.00523 moles of oxygen in 0.150 grams of calcium sulfate crystal.
