Mass of potassium nitrate is needed to generate 215.0 L of gas, composed of 111.0 L of N₂ and 104.0 L of O₂ at 0.920 atm and 291 K, using these two reactions is 1186.75 g.

The reactions are :

2KNO₃ --->  2KNO₂  +  O₂

4KNO₂  ---->  2K₂O  + 3O₂  +  2N₂

Therefore,

4KNO₃  ---->  2K₂O  +   5O₂  +  2N₂

using the formula:

PV = nRT

moles of N₂ = PV / RT

P = 0.920 atm

T =291 K

R = 0.082 Latm/mol/k

moles of N₂ = 4.279 mol

moles of O₂ = (0.92 × 104) / 0.082 × 291

                   = 4.00 mol

from the equation .

moles of potassium nitrate to produce nitrogen = 2 × 4.279

                                                                                 = 8.55 mol

moles of nitrate tp produce oxygen = (4 / 5) × 4

                                                            = 3.2 mol

total moles of nitrate = 8.55 mol + 3.2 mol

                                   = 11.75 mol

mass of potassium nitrate = number of moles × molar mass

                                           = 11.75 × 101

                                           = 1186.75 g

Thus, Mass of potassium nitrate is needed to generate 215.0 L of gas, composed of 111.0 L of N₂ and 104.0 L of O₂ at 0.920 atm and 291 K, using these two reactions is 1186.75 g.

How can you tell that a compound contains an ionic bond
xenn [34]

Answer: There is a couple different ways to determine if a bond is ionic or covalent.

Explanation:

By definition, an ionic bond is between a metal and a nonmetal, and a covalent bond is between 2 nonmetals. So you usually just look at the periodic table and determine whether your compound is made of a metal/nonmetal or is just 2 nonmetals   Hope this helped !!!

The molar mass of a solid carboxylic acid is determined by titrating a known mass of the acid with a standardized solution of Na
laiz [17]

The answer is: II.The endpoint is recorded when the solution is dark red in color rather than light pink.

The endpoint is the point at which the indicator changes colour in a colourimetric titration and that is point when titration must stop.  

Phenolphthalein is colorless in acidic solutions and pink in basic solutions. If  this indicator change color to dark red, more base is added and endpoint is not accurate.

If the the acid is spilled before titration, that does not make endpoint wrong and molar mass can be calculated.

In this example we can take acetic acid as carboxylic acid; basic salt sodium acetate CH₃COONa is formed from the reaction between weak acid (in this example acetic acid CH₃COOH) and strong base (in this example sodium acetate NaOH).  

Balanced chemical reaction of acetic acid and sodium hydroxide:  

CH₃COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) → CH₃COONa(aq) + H₂O(l).  

Neutralization is is reaction in which an acid (in this example vinegar or acetic acid CH₃COOH) and a base react quantitatively with each other.
