If 155 grams of potassium (K) reacts with 122 grams of potassium nitrate (KNO3), what is the limiting reagent?

1 answer:

5 0

K:

m=155g
M=39g/mol

n = 155g / 39g/mol ≈ 3,97mol

KNO₃:

m=122g
M=101g/mol

n = 122g/101g/mol = 1,21mol

2K + 10KNO₃ ⇒ 6K₂O + N₂
2mol : 10mol
3,97mol : 1,21mol
limiting reagent

KNO₃ is limiting reagent

The density of a substance is 4.8 g/mL. What is the volume of the sample that is 19.2 g?

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

The answer is 4

Explanation:

You divide the grams by the volume which will give you the density

so 19.2 divided by 4.8 equals 4

When 1.045 g of CaO is added to 50.0 mL of water at 25.0 °C in a calorimeter, the temperature of the water increases to 32.3 °C.

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

1.71 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The expression for the calculation of the enthalpy change of a process is shown below as:-

$\Delta H=m\times C\times \Delta T$

Where,

$\Delta H$ is the enthalpy change

m is the mass

C is the specific heat capacity

$\Delta T$ is the temperature change

Thus, given that:-

Mass of CaO = 1.045 g

Specific heat = 4.18 J/g°C

$\Delta T=32.3-25.0\ ^0C=7.3\ ^0C$

So,

$\Delta H=1.045\times 4.18\times 7.3\ J=31.88713\ J$

Also, 1 J = 0.001 kJ

So,

$\Delta H=0.03189\ kJ$

Also, Molar mass of CaO = 56.0774 g/mol

$Moles=\frac{Mass}{Molar\ mass}=\frac{1.045}{56.0774}\ mol=0.01863\ mol$

Thus, Enthalpy change in kJ/mol is:-

$\Delta H=\frac{0.03189}{0.01863}\ kJ/mol=1.71\ kJ/mol$

Why is snow a better insulator than ice?

Anika [276]

Answer:

Snow is a better insulator than ice because snow contains air packets inside it and air is a good insulator of heat. Due to this, snow takes longer time to melt than the ice of the same mass.
