Cream of tartar, a common ingredient in cooking, is the common name for potassium bitartrate (abbreviated KBT, molar mass 188.2 g/mol). Historically, KBT was a crystalline solid that formed on the casks of wine barrels during the fermentation process. Calculate the maximum mass of KBT that can dissolve in 280. mL of solution to make a saturated solution. KBT dissolves to form the potassium ion (K+) and the bitartrate ion (abbreviated as BT-). KBT(s) → K+(aq) + BT-(aq) Ksp = 3.8×10-4

0.288g KBT can be dissolved

Explanation:

The dissolution of KBT produce the dissociation in K⁺ and BT⁻ ions as follows:

KBT(s) → K+(aq) + BT-(aq) Ksp = 3.8×10-4

Where Ksp is defined as:

Ksp = 3.8x10⁻⁴ = [K⁺][BT⁻]

Thus, we need to find the concentration of KBT that can be dissolved = [K⁺] = [BT⁻]:

3.8x10⁻⁴ = [K⁺][BT⁻]

3.8x10⁻⁴ = [KBT][KBT]

3.8x10⁻⁴ = [KBT]²

0.01949M = [KBT]

In 280mL = 0.280L, the moles of KBT that can be dissolved are:

0.01949mol / L * 0.280L =

5.458x10⁻³ moles of KBT. In grams (Using molar mass):

5.458x10⁻³ moles of KBT * (188.2g/mol) =

plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food. plants use the raw materials of water, nutrients they absorb from soil, and carbon dioxide to make sugars the plant can use. energy from the sun and chlorophyll are also needed.

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight   the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the have energy higher than those in the orbital while lower than those of the orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the orbital is therefore filled right after orbitals and before orbitals.  

potassium has electron configuration and calcium . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the and should be highlighted as well.
