The equation below is for potassium oxide. 4k + o2 → 2k2o the ratio of atoms of potassium to ratio of atoms of oxygen is

The ratio is 2:1

Explanation:

The reaction above is a combustion reaction where potassium metal reacts with oxygen to form potassium oxide.

From the equation 4 moles of potassium reacts with one mole of oxygen to form 2 moles of potassium oxide. This is achieved by balancing the equation so as to obey the law of conservation of mass which requires the number of atoms of an element to be the same in either side of a chemical reaction.

Therefore, the ratio of atoms of potassium to the atoms of oxygen will be 4:2, which when simplified gives 2:1

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
