Explain why a potassium atom would not bond with a calcium atom?

Chemistry
1 answer:
docker41 [41]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Calcium atoms have smaller radii than potassium atoms since calcium atoms have a greater nuclear charge. Each calcium atom will be closer to the delocalized electrons. Thus, the bonds in calcium will be stronger than that in potassium.

A 100 gram block is placed on a scale that is known to have a 12% error. What will the scale read?
sesenic [268]

The scale will read <u>112 grams.</u>

Why?

Since we already know the percent error of the scale (12%) and we also know the mass of the block that is placed on the scale, we can calculate what will be the read of the scale by using the following formula:

ScaleRead=100g+(100g*\frac{12}{100})=100g+(100g*0.12)=100g+12g\\\\ScaleRead=112g

We can see that the scale will read 112 grams.

Let's verify that we are right by using the following formula to verify if the obtained value for the scale read will be 12%:

PercentError=\frac{ActualValue-RealValue}{RealValue}*100=\frac{112g-100g}{100g}*100\\\\PercentError=\frac{12g}{100g}*100=0.12*100=12(percent)

Hence, we can see that the scale will read <u>112 grams.</u>

Have a nice day!

Calculate the pH of a buffer solution made by adding 15.0 g anhydrous sodium acetate (NaC2H3O2) to 100.0 mL of 0.200 M acetic ac
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

pH of Buffer Solution 5.69

Explanation:

Mole of anhydrous sodium acetate = \frac{Given mass}{Molecular mass}

                                                           = \frac{15}{82}

                                                           = 0.18 mole

 100 ml of 0.2 molar acetic acid  means

= M x V

= 0.2 x 100

= 20 mmol

= 0.02 mole

Using Henderson equation to find pH of Buffer solution

pH = pKa + log\frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}

     = 4.74 + log\frac{0.18}{0.02}

     = 4.74 + log 9

     = 5.69

So pH of the Buffer solution = 5.69

A compound contains 38.7% K, 13.9% N, and 47.4% O by mass. What is the empirical formula of the compound?
inysia [295]
K ---> 38.7 g / 39.1 g/mol = 0.99
N ---> 13.9 g / 14.0 g/mol = 0.99
O ---> 47.4 g / 16.0 g/mol = 2.96

Divide by smallest:

K ---> 0.99 / 0.99 = 1
N ---> 0.99 / 0.99 = 1
O ---> 2.96 / 0.99 = 3
