Thomas has 235 grams of k2s in the chemistry lab. how many atoms of potassium (k) are in 235 grams of the compound?

The  number of atoms  of K that are in 235 g  of the compound  is

2.57 x10^24 atoms

 calculation

Step 1:  find the moles of K2S

= moles = mass/molar mass

=  235 g/110 g/mol= 2.136  moles

Step 2: multiply  2.136 moles  by no. of K atoms in K2S

= 2.136  x2 = 4.272 moles

Step 3: use the Avogadro's  law to determine number of K atoms

that is according to Avogadro's law  1 mole = 6.02 x 10^23  atoms

                                                            4.272 moles= ? atoms

by cross multiplication

= (4.272  moles x 6.02 x10^23 atoms)  / 1 mole = 2.57 x10^24 atoms

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.

that tool would be a compass
