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 much water should be added to 1 gallon of pure antifreeze to obtain a solution that is 60% antifreeze?
antoniya [11.8K]
1 gallon of antifreeze = 60% of mixture. Total mixture:
Vm = 1/0.6
= 1.67 gallons

Volume of water = total vol - antifreeze vol
= 1.67 - 1
= 0.67 gallon of water
