Answer: 19 electrons

Explanation:

An atom is smallest unit of a matter or substance.It consist of three subatomic particles : electrons, protons, neutrons.

Protons and neutrons are located in the center of an atom where mass of an atom is concentrated. Electrons are located outside the nucleus where they orbit in different energy levels around the nucleus.

Potassium is an element with atomic number of 19 and thus contains 19 electrons.The electrons are filled according to Afbau's rule in order of increasing energies and thus the electronic configuration

$K:19:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^1$

Total number of electrons = 2+2+6+2+6+1 = 19

The answer is electron.

The nucleus of a neutral potassium atom is "surrounded" by electron.

The neutral potassium atom contains equal number of protons and neutrons, and there are 19 electrons and 19 protons while 20 neutrons.

20 protons and 20 neutrons are there in the nucleus while 19 electrons surrounds the nucleus in different orbits .

How many chloride ions are in a 220 grams of calcium chloride?

fomenos

The Ions present in CaCl₂ are,

Ca²⁺ Cl⁻ Cl⁻

Means 1 formula unit contains 1 Ca²⁺ ion and 2 Cl⁻ ions.

Also, 1 mole of CaCl₂ contains 6.022 × 10²³ formula units.

So, 1 mole formula units of CaCl₂ contain,

2 × 6.022 × 10²³ = 1.20 × 10²⁴ Cl⁻ Ions

Now, Calculating number of moles contained by 220 g of CaCl₂,
As,
110.98 g of CaCl₂ = 1 mole
Then,
220 g of CaCl₂ = X moles
Solving for X,
X = (220 g × 1 mol) ÷ 110.98 g

X = 1.98 moles
As,
1 mole contained = 1.20 × 10²⁴ Cl⁻ Ions
Then,
1.98 mole will contain = X Cl⁻ Ions
Solving for X,
X = (1.98 mol × 1.20 × 10²⁴ Ions) ÷ 1mol

X = 2.38 × 10²⁴ Cl⁻ Ions

as a 15.1-gram sample of a metal absorbs 48.75 j of heat its temperature increases 25.0 k what is the specific heat capacity of

Leviafan [203]

Specific heat capacity (c) of a material is related to the Energy Absorbed (Q), mass of the material (m) and the change in temperature (T) by the following equation:

$c= \frac{Q}{mT}$

Substituting the values of Q, m and T in the above equation, we get:

$c= \frac{48.75}{15.1*25}=0.129$

So the specific heat capacity of the metal with given conditions will be 0.129 J/g.K

Answer: values of the quantum numbers: -6,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6

location of the electron: In the 7th energy level away from the nucleus.

Explanation:

From the description of the problem, the magnetic number is given is as -6,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6 and the electron is located in the 7th energy level away from the nucleus. Basically, the problem is testing for the understanding of the principal quantum numbers which gives the location of electrons and the magnetic quantum number that shows the spatial orientation of the orbitals.

The orbital designation of the describe electron is 7d

Magnetic quantum number is limited by the azimuthal quantum number which is the quantum number describing the possible shapes. The azimuthal is given as L= n-1. "n" is the principal quantum number which is 7. Therefore L is 6 and the magnetic quantum numbers are -6,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6

The position of the electron is given by the principal quantum number which represents the main energy level in which the orbital is located or the average distance from the nucleus.

Place the following in correct sequence from simplest to most complex: 1. molecules 2. atoms 3. tissues 4. cells 5. organs

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Simplest to complex

Atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, organs

Explanation:

An atom is the smallest or basic unit of any substance or thing. therefore, it is simplest among given.

Two or more atoms joined together to form molecules. Therefore, molecules are complex than atoms.

Cell is the basic unit of life and a cell is made of many molecules and compounds. So, cells are more complex than molecules.

Several cells organised in a definite way to form tissue, so tissues are group of cells and perform a definite function inside a living thing. So, tissues are more complex than cell.

Organs consist of several cells and tissues and perform a specific functions. Therefore, organs are the most complex structure among given.

Therefore order from simplest to complex is as follows:

Atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, organs

The pOH of a solution is 6.0. Which statement is correct? Use p O H equals negative logarithm StartBracket upper O upper H super

Katen [24]

Answer:

The pH of the solution is 8.

Explanation:

To which options are correct, let us determine the concentration of the hydroxide ion, [OH-] and the pH of the solution. This is illustrated below:

1. The concentration of the hydroxide ion, [OH-] can be obtained as follow:

pOH = –Log [OH-]

pOH = 6

6 = –Log [OH-]

–6 = Log [OH-]

[OH-] = Antilog (–6)

[OH-] = 1x10^–6 mol/L

2. The pH of the solution can be obtained as follow:

pH + pOH = 14

pOH = 6

pH + 6 = 14

pH = 14 – 6

pH = 8.

From the calculations made above,

[OH-] = 1x10^–6 mol/L

pH = 8.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

The pH of the solution is 8
