This question is about stoichiometry, the ratio of compounds in a reaction. The most important thing that comes out of physics relating to this is the principle of Conservation of Energy, that is energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred from one form to another.

This can mean a lot of different things depending on the context, usually to explain why perpetual motion is inpossible - energy transfers are never 100% efficient and as energy cannot be expressly created, the useful energy in an isolated system must dwindle (if you are interested that is called entropy).

But in a chemistry context, for stable atoms such as these where matter remains matter and energy remains energy, it leads to the principle of Conservation of Mass. That is to say there are as many atoms of each type to start with as there are to finish with.

This is why balancing is so important. You wouldn't react two oxygen atoms together (hypothetically) to form two O2 molecules because that would start with 2 atoms and end with 4. Similarly you wouldn't (excluding nuclear fusion reactions) react two magnesium atoms together to produce a Cl2 molecule because the mass has changed (an Mg has a different mass to a Cl).

Taking note of the number of each type of atom on each side of the equation, we find there is the same number always. This shows the equation is balanced. Conservation of Mass, and by extension Conservation of Energy, is satisfied so the answer is B.

A compound that contains both potassium and oxygen formed when potassium metal was burned in oxygen gas. the mass of the compoun

Artemon [7]

Answer:
3.2 g of O₂

Solution:
This reaction is for the formation of Potassium Superoxide, The reaction is as follow,

K + O₂ → KO₂

First let us confirm that either the given amount of Potassium produces the given amount of Potassium oxide or not,
So,
As,
39.098 g (1 mole) K produced = 71.098 g of K₂O
So,
3.91 g of K will produce = X g of K₂O

Solving for X,
X = (3.91 g × 71.098 g) ÷ 39.098

X = 7.11 g of K₂O

Hence, it is confirmed that we have selected the right equation,
So,
As,
39.098 g of K required = 32 g of O₂
So,
3.91 g of K will require = X g of O₂

Solving for X,
X = (3.91 g × 32 g) ÷ 39.098 g

X = 3.2 g of O₂

Suppose you have 100 grams of radioactive plutonium-239 with a half-life of 24,000 years. how many grams of plutonium-239 will r

Alexandra [31]

To solve this problem, let us first calculate for the rate constant k using the half life formula:

t1/2 = ln 2 / k

where t1/2 = half life period = 24,000 years, therefore k is:

k = ln 2 / 24,000

k = 2.89 x 10^-5 / yr

Now we use the rate equation:

A = Ao e^(-k t)

where,

A = mass of Plutonium-239 after number of years

Ao = initial mass of Plutonium-239

t = number of years

A. t = 12,000 years, find A

A = 100g e^(- 2.89 x 10^-5 * 12,000)

A = 70.7 g

B. t = 24,000 years, find A

A = 100g e^(- 2.89 x 10^-5 * 24,000)

A = 50 g

C. t = 96,000 years, find A

A = 100g e^(- 2.89 x 10^-5 * 96,000)

The number of C atoms in 0.524 moles of C is 3.15 atoms.

The number of $SO_2$ molecules in 9.87 moles $SO_2$ is 59.43 molecules.

The moles of Fe in 1.40 x $10^{22}$ atoms of Fe is 0.23 x $10^{-1}$

The moles of $C_2H_6O$ in 2.30x $10^{24}$ molecules of $C_2H_6O$ is 3.81.

<h3>What are moles?</h3>

A mole is defined as 6.02214076 × $10^{23}$ of some chemical unit, be it atoms, molecules, ions, or others. The mole is a convenient unit to use because of the great number of atoms, molecules, or others in any substance.

A. The number of C atoms in 0.524 mole of C:

6.02214076 × $10^{23}$ x 0.524 mole

3.155601758 atoms =3.155 atoms

B. The number of $SO_2$ molecules in 9.87 moles of $SO_2$ :

6.02214076 × $10^{23}$ x 9.87

59.4385293 molecules= 59.43 molecules

C. The moles of Fe in 1.40 x $10^{22}$ atoms of Fe:

1.40 x $10^{22}$ ÷ 6.02214076 × $10^{23}$

0.2324754694 x $10^{-1}$ moles.

0.23 x $10^{-1}$ moles.

D. The moles of $C_2H_6O$ in 2.30x $10^{24}$ molecules of $C_2H_6O$ :

2.30x $10^{24}$ ÷ 6.02214076 × $10^{23}$

3.819239854 moles=3.81 moles
