<h3>Answer </h3>

Potassium nitride= K3N

<h3>Explanation </h3>

Potassium nitride is the correct name of the compound with chemical formula, K3N. The compound is formed between potassium ion (K+) and nitride ion (N-3).

Potassium has nineteen electrons and since it obeys octet rule with electronic configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1. Potassium loses an electron in its outer subshell(4s) to attain a stable electronic configuration (1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6). Thus, forming K+.

On the other hand, N has seven electrons with electronic configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p3. Nitrogen also obeys octet rule. Hence, it acquires three electrons to attain a stable octet noble gas configuration (1s2 2s2 2p6), resulting in N-3.

Every nitrogen atom acquires three electrons from potassium. Also, potassium loses one electron to each nitrogen atom. In this interaction every nitrogen atom becomes N-3 and each potassium becomes K+.

<span>You need to consider the valences of the two elements. Potassium is +1; nitrogen is -3. To balance the molecule, you need 3 potassium to one nitrogen, or K3N</span>

An iron bar at 200c is placed in thermal contact with an identical iron bar at 120c in an isolated system
Step2247 [10]

Conduction: In the conduction, the heat is transferred from the hotter body to the colder body until the temperature on both bodies are equal.

In thermal equilibrium, there is no heat transfer as the heat is transferred till the temperature on the bodies are not same.

In the given problem, an iron bar at 200°C is placed in thermal contact with an identical iron bar at 120°C in an isolated system. After 30 minutes, the thermal equilibrium is attained. Then, the temperature on both iron bars are equal.Both iron bars are at 160°C in an isolated system.

But in an open system, the temperatures of the iron bars after 30 minutes would be less than 160°C. There will be heat lost to the surrounding. The room temperature is 25°C. There will be exchange of the heat occur between the iron bars and the surrounding. But It would take more than 30 minutes for both iron bars to reach 160°C because heat would be transferred less efficiently.

A chemist dissolves 699. mg of pure hydrobromic acid in enough water to make up 180. mL of solution. Calculate the pH of the sol
Sedaia [141]

Answer: 1.32

Explanation:

First, we must obtain the molar mass of HBr. After that, we try to obtain the concentration of the hydrobromic acid from the formula n=CV since the volume of solution and mass of acid was provided. Recall that n=m/M. If the concentration of acid is thus obtained, we make use of the fact that the concentration of H+ in the acid is equal to the molar concentration of HBr to obtain the pH. The pH is the negative logarithm of the concentration we obtained in the initial step.
