Yes , the chemist can answer if the compound in K2O or K2O2

The chemical formula and composition of both the compounds is entirely different. The compound K2O2 has an additional molecule of oxygen than K2O and hence will have have higher molecular mass.

In the compound K2O

molecular mass= 2x 39+16 =94

mass ratio of K in compound= 78/94 = 0.830

In the compound K2O2

molecular mass= 2x 39+16X2 =110

mass ratio of K in compound= 78/110 = 0.710

and hence by the required ratio while extracting K , the chemist may know if the compound is K20 or K2O2

If the ratio is anything different from 0.830 and 0.710 then the compund will be something different

How many carbon atoms are in 26-hydrogen alkyne
navik [9.2K]
An alkyne contains four carbon atoms.... so if you do 26 multiplied by 4 it equals 104... I do not know if that’s the answer so I apologize if it’s wrong :,)

Explain why the atomic radius of fluorine is smaller than that of lithium​
Sladkaya [172]

1. Common knowledge : Go to the right of periodic table, the atomic radius is decreasing

2. Flurine has 9 protons and lithium has 3 protons. you know that the electron is attracted with the centre of the atom, that's why more proton, more 'energy' that attract to the centre and that's why it make the shape of the atom is smaller
