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 atoms of oxygen are in 0.100 mol of silicon dioxide?
lys-0071 [83]
1) Silicon dioxide formula: SiO2  ....... 2 is a subscript for the O atom

2) From the formula you have 1 molecula of SiO2 contains 1 atom of SiO2

3) Then, 0.100 mol of SiO2 contains 0.1 mol of Si

4) Multiply by Avogadro's number: 0.100mol *  6.022*10^23 atoms/mol= 6.02*10^22 atoms

Answer: 6.02*10^22 atoms

Devise a way to separate a mixture of sand, salt, and iron filings. Write the procedure using a step-by-step method and explain
aev [14]
1. Iron fillings are magnetic, so use a magnet to pull the iron fillings out of the mix.
2. Then you can put the salt and sand mixture into water, since salt is soluble, and the salt will dissolve, leaving you with sand.

An object has a density of 10.00 g/mL. If the object has a volume of<br> 25.00 ml, what is the mass?
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>250 g</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

<h3>mass = Density × volume</h3>

From the question

volume of object = 25 mL

Density = 10 g/mL

The mass of the object is

mass = 25 × 10

We have the final answer as

<h3>250 g</h3>

Hope this helps you
