In a bond between potassium (K) and bromine (Br),

Chemistry

Answer:

D (But as a heads up, you wrote barium instead of Bromine)

Explanation:

The Potassium atom will lose an electron since its valence shell only has one, while Bromine has 7 electrons in its valence shell. Potassium wants to get rid of its one electron, Bromine wants to gain that one electron to get a full shell.

Potassium will become a CATION with a positive charge (since it lost an electron), Bromine will become an ANION with a negative charge (since it gained an electron)

ANALYZE A ball of clay is manipulated into different shapes in each of the images

alekssr [168]

Answer:

The amount of mass and matter in all the transformations of the clay ball will remain the same or constant

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of mass we have, for an enclosed system to and from which there is no transfer of matter or energy, mass cannot be created nor destroyed, and remains constant at the given value, but the matter which make up the mass can be changed into different forms

Therefore, the clay ball can be transformed into different shapes and will still posses the same initial mass before the transformation, provided there are no transfer of matter or energy from the clay ball system.

How should the baking of a pizza be categorized

MrMuchimi

<h2>The baking of a Pizza be Categorize as Endothermic Process</h2>

The baking of a pizza should be categorized as an endothermic process because the dough absorbs heat. An endothermic process is a method that absorbs energy from its surroundings which is habitually in the form of energy.

It can be a biochemical process like solving the salt in water or just the melting of ice. Therefore, the dough absorbs heat and it is categorized as an endothermic process.

Carlos is making phosphorus trichloride using the equation below. He uses 15.5 g of phosphorus and collects 50.9 g of phosphorus

Oxana [17]

Answer : The mass of chlorine reacted with the phosphorus is, 53.25 grams.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of phosphorus.

$\text{Moles of phosphorus}=\frac{\text{Mass of phosphorus}}{\text{Molar mass of phosphorus}}$

$\text{Moles of phosphorus}=\frac{15.5g}{31g/mol}=0.5mol$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $Cl_2$

The balanced chemical reaction is:

$2P+3Cl_2\rightarrow 2PCl_3$

From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 moles of phosphorous react with 3 moles of $Cl_2$

So, 0.5 moles of phosphorous react with $\frac{3}{2}\times 0.5=0.75$ moles of $Cl_2$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $Cl_2$

$\text{Mass of }Cl_2=\text{Moles of }Cl_2\times \text{Molar mass of }Cl_2$

Molar mass of $Cl_2$ = 71 g/mol

$\text{Mass of }Cl_2=0.75mol\times 71g/mol=53.25g$

Therefore, the mass of chlorine reacted with the phosphorus is, 53.25 grams.

A sample of 0.600 mol of a metal m reacts completely with excess fluorine to form 46.8 g of mf2. how many moles of f are in the

oksian1 [2.3K]

The balanced chemical reaction is expressed as:

M + F2 = MF2

To determine the moles of the element fluorine present in the product, we need to determine the moles of the product formed from the reaction and relate this value to the ratio of the elements in MF2. We do as follows:

moles MF2 produced = 0.600 mol M ( 1 mol MF2 / 1 mol M ) = 0.600 mol MF2
molar mass MF2 = 46.8 g MF2 / 0.6 mol MF2 = 78 g/mol
moles MF2 = 46.8 g ( 1 mol / 78 g ) = 0.6 mol
moles F = 0.6 mol MF2 ( 2 mol F / 1 mol MF2 ) = 1.2 moles F
