Answer: KNO3

Explanation: Hello! the answer to your question is KNO3

We get this by dividing each by their molar mass

Potassium: 6.412/39.10 = 0.1639

Nitrogen: 2.292/14.01 =0.1635

Oxygen: 7.871/16.00 = 0.4919

We then pick the smallest of these results, this would be Nitrogen and divide everything with this answer, 0.1635

Potassium: = 0.1639/0.1635 = 1.002, about 1

Nitrogen: 0.1635=0.1635, 1

Oxygen: = 0.4919, 3.008, about 3

Now that we have the number of moles, we put it together, making KNO3

Which statement is correct about the rate of a chemical reaction? A. It increases when the concentration of reactants increases.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

It increases when the concentration of reactants increases.

Explanation:

Increasing the concentration of reactants in a reaction increases the amount of reacting molecules or ions which would increase the rate of a chemical reaction. Reaction rate does depend on temperature. Increasing temperature also increases reaction rate because particles move faster with the increased kinetic energy to produce more collisions.

What would be the total volume of the new solution when it is changed from 0.2 M to 0.04 M?

34kurt

The question is incomplete.

You need two additional data:

1) the original volume
2) what solution you added to change the volume.

This is a molarity problem, so remember molarity definition and formula:

M = n / V in liters: number of moles per liter of solution

To give you the key to answer this kind of questions, supppose the original volumen was 1 ml and that you added only water (solvent).

The original solution was:

V= 1 ml
M = 0.2 M

Using the formula for molarity, M = n / V

n = M×V = 0.2 M × (1 / 10000)l = 0.0002 moles

For the final solution:

n = 0.0002 moles
M = 0.04

From M = n / V ⇒ V = n / M = 0.002 moles / 0.04 M = 0.05 l

Change to ml ⇒ 0.05 l × 1000 ml / l = 50 ml. This would be the answer for the hypothetical problem that I assumed for you.

I hope this gives you all the cues you need to answer similar problems about molarity.
