Potassium is an alkali metal which means that it only needs to get rid of one electron to achieve a noble gas configuration.  Since it only needs to get rid of one electron the ion will be a cation with a charge of +1 which means the symbol will be K⁺.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

Answer;

K+

Explanation;

-Noble gas configuration is the electron configuration equivalent to noble gases or group 8 elements. According to the octet rule an atom of an element gains or looses electrons to attain noble gases configuration which is the stable configuration, such that an atom has attained maximum number of electrons in the outermost energy level.

-For instance potassium is an alkali metal, consisting of one valence electron in the outermost energy level. For an atom of potassium to attain octet configuration or noble gases configuration it will have to loose one electron, thus forming a positively charged ion of potassium, K+.

First, we determine the number of moles of barium phosphate. This is done using:

Moles = mass / Mr
Moles = 1 / 602
Moles = 0.002

Now, we see from the formula of the compound that each mole of barium phosphate has 2 moles of phosphorus (P). Therefore, the moles of phosphorus are:
0.002 * 2 = 0.004

The number of particles in one mole of substance is 6.02 x 10²³. The number of phosphorus atoms will be:
0.004 * 6.02 x 10²³

2.41 x 10²¹ atoms of phosphorus are present

Jesse travels 3.0 meters east and then turns and travels 4.0 meters north. The trip requires 35 seconds. What is his velocity? 0
melisa1 [442]
Displacement = √(3² + 4²)
Displacement = 5 meters north east

Velocity = displacement / time
Velocity = 5 / 35
Velocity = 0.14 m/s northeast

Lily is trying to measure the volume of her hand. She places it in a can full of water. The volume of water that is __________ i
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Displaced

Explanation:

A convenient way to measure the volume of an object is to measure the volume of a solid is to immerse the solid into water.

When a solid is immersed in water, it displaces some volume of water. This volume of water displaced is the same as the volume of the object.

For instance, if the volume of water in a measuring cylinder was 25 ml and i added a stone which made the water in the measuring cylinder to rise to 70 ml, it simply means that the volume of the object is 70 ml - 25 ml = 45 ml

5. A compound with a formula of lead (Pb) and sulfur (S) was determined using the method in this experiment. A sample of Pb was
Airida [17]

Answer:

The mass of S that reacted is 0.642g

Explanation:

In this case we have

⇒ mass of crucible and cover, 25.429g

⇒ mass of crucible, cover, and Pb, 29.465g

⇒ mass of crucible, cover and commass of crucible and coverpound formed, 30.107g

The mass of Pb reacted = mass of crucible, cover, and Pb - mass of crucible and cover = 29.465 - 25.429 = 4.036g

The mass of compound formed = mass of crucible, cover and commass of crucible and coverpound formed  - mass of crucible and cover = 30.107 - 25.429g = 4.678g

The mass of S reacted = Mass of compound formed - mass of Pb reacted = 4.678 -4.036 = 0.642g

The mass of S that reacted is 0.642g
