Answer:

0.6g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of K = 0.5g

Mass of O₂  = 0.10g

Unknown:

Mass of K₂O  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, let us write the reaction equation first;

                   4K   +   O₂     →     2K₂O

The reaction above delineates the balanced chemical reaction.

To solve this problem, we need to know the limiting reactant. This reactant is the one that determines the amount and extent of the reaction because it is given in short supply. The other reactant is the one in excess.

Start off by find the number of moles of the reactant;

     Number of moles =  \frac{mass}{molar mass}

         Molar mas of K  = 39g/mol

          Molar mass of O₂   = 2(16) = 32g/mol

 Number of moles of K  = \frac{0.5}{39}   = 0.013moles

 Number of moles of O₂    = \frac{0.1}{32}   = 0.031moles

From the balanced reaction;

          4 moles of K reacted with 1 mole of O₂

         0.013 moles of K will react with \frac{0.013}{4}   = 0.0078 moles of O₂

We see that oxygen gas is in excess. We were given 0.031moles of the gas but only require 0.0078moles of oxygen gas.

The limiting reactant is potassium.

    therefore;

              4 moles of K produced 2 moles of K₂O

             0.013 moles of K will produce \frac{0.013 x 2}{4}   = 0.0065‬moles of K₂O

to find the mass of K₂O;

   Mass of K₂O  = number of moles x molar mass

                Molar mass of K₂O  = 2(39) + 16  = 94g/mol

  Mass of K₂O = 0.0065 x 94  = 0.6g

True or false: nitrogen gas behaves more like an ideal gas as the temperature increases
navik [9.2K]

Is true. Nitrogen gas behaves more like an ideal gas as the temperature increases. Under normal conditions such as normal pressure and temperature conditions , most real gases behave qualitatively as an ideal gas. Many gases such as air , nitrogen , oxygen ,hydrogen , noble gases , and some heavy gases such as carbon dioxide can be treated as ideal gases within a reasonable tolerance. Generally, the removal of ideal gas conditions tends to be lower at higher temperatures and lower density (that is at lower pressure ), since the work made by the intermolecular forces is less important compared to the kinetic energy<span> of the particles, and the size of the molecules is less important compared to the empty space between them. </span><span>The ideal gas model tends to fail at lower temperatures or at high pressures, when intermolecular forces and intermolecular size are important.</span>
