Argon-40, potassium-40, and calcium-40 all have 40 protons and electrons in their atoms, but they have different numbers of neutrons. They are all stable isotopes, although potassium-40 is radioactive and undergoes decay to form argon-40.
potassium 40, Argon 40, Calcium 40.
the answer is 21. because you do 40-19
No, potassium-40 is a radioactive isotope of potassium. It undergoes radioactive decay with a half-life of about 1.25 billion years, emitting beta particles in the process.
Atoms argon-40, potassium-40, and calcium-40 all have 40 protons, but differ in the number of neutrons in their nuclei. They are all stable isotopes, with no natural radioactivity.
I suppose that this compound is potassium carbonate, K2CO3.
At 40°C, KBr is less soluble than KCl. At 80°C, the trend may reverse, with KCl possibly being less soluble than KBr. The solubility of salts typically increases with temperature, so KBr may be the least soluble at both 40°C and 80°C.
Potassium nitrate (KNO3) is the most soluble potassium salt at both 40°C and 80°C due to its high solubility in water. Potassium chloride (KCl) and potassium sulfate (K2SO4) are less soluble at these temperatures compared to potassium nitrate.
The answer will depend on what the solvent is.
Potassium-40 decays by emitting a beta particle, which is an electron. This decay process transforms potassium-40 into calcium-40.
To calculate the number of neutrons in an atom of potassium-40, subtract the atomic number (which is 19 for potassium) from the mass number (which is 40 for potassium-40). So, 40 (mass number) - 19 (atomic number) = 21 neutrons in potassium-40.
Table salt is iodized by adding a small amount of iodine, typically in the form of potassium iodide or sodium iodide, to non-iodized salt. The common percentage of iodine added is about 0.01% to 0.1% of the salt's weight, which translates to roughly 20-40 mg of iodine per kilogram of salt. Potassium iodide is more commonly used in iodization processes due to its stability and solubility.
By subtracting 19 (atomic number of Potassium) from 40. You should come out with 21, which is the number of neutrons in potassium-40
To prepare a 40% solution of potassium sodium tartrate, you would need to weigh out the appropriate amount of the salt and dissolve it in a specific volume of water to get the desired concentration. For example, to prepare 100mL of a 40% solution, you would mix 40g of potassium sodium tartrate with enough water to bring the final volume to 100mL.
The numbers 39, 40, and 41 after the element name potassium refer to the mass number of the isotopes of potassium. Potassium has three isotopes: potassium-39, potassium-40, and potassium-41, which have 19, 20, and 21 neutrons respectively.
The half life of potassium 40 is 1.3 billion years.
