Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Potassium is a metal. Remember that metals are electropositive in nature. This implies that they give out electrons when they undergo ionic bonding with nonmetals.
Chlorine is a nonmetal. So the bond between chlorine and potassium is ionic. Potassium gives out one electron to chlorine and the both ions now attain a stable octet.
The electronic configuration of potassium is [Ar]4s1. After giving out an electron to chlorine in an ionic bond, its electronic configuration is now [Ar].
Answer:
52.9 KJmol-1
Explanation:
From;
log(k2/k1) = Ea/2.303 * R (1/T1 - 1/T2)
The temperatures must be converted to Kelvin;
T1 = 25° C + 273 = 298 K
T2= 35°C + 273 = 308 K
R= gas constant = 8.314 JK-1mol-1
Substituting values;
log 2 = Ea/2.303 * 8.314 (1/298 - 1/308)
Ea = 52.9 KJmol-1
