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

What is the mass in grams for a piece of lead that has a volume of 14.8 cubic centimeters? The density of lead is 11.4 g/cc.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

168.72 grams

Explanation:

Density = Mass/Volume

Volume = 14.8

Mass = ?

Density = 11.4

Let x = mass

11.4 = x/14.8

Multiply both sides by 14.8

14.8(11.4 = x/14.8)

x = 168.72

madam [21]

Answer:

5.158 × 10²³ atoms K

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Using Dimensional Analysis
  • Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

33.49 g K

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

Molar Mass of K - 39.10 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

<u />33.49 \ g \ K(\frac{1 \ mol \ K}{39.10 \ g \ K} )(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ atoms \ K}{1 \ mol \ K} ) = 5.15797 × 10²³ atoms K

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>We are given 4 sig figs. Follow sig figs and round.</em>

5.15797 × 10²³ atoms K ≈ 5.158 × 10²³ atoms K
