Use the following chemical equation to answer the question. 4K(s) + O2(g) → 2 K2O(s). If a staff member at a laboratory has 12.0 grams of potassium metal, what is the theoretical yield of potassium oxide that the scientist could potentially produce from the reaction with oxygen gas? A) 9.96 grams of K2O
B) 14.5 grams of K2O
C) 28.9 grams of K2O
D) 57.8 grams of K2O

14.5 grams of K2O

Explanation:

answer: atomic mass was originally used to arrange elements on the periodic table, but is no longer used to organize the modern version.

explanation:

originally atomic mass was used to arrange elements on the periodic table from left to right in a row. each column then shows similar properties of elements of a group.

in modern periodic table, the atoms are arranged in increasing atomic number. as atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom which is unique for every atom.
