What is the mass of oxygen in 25.0 grams of potassium permanganate , KMnO4?

Katen [24]

Answer:

10.76 grams

Explanation:

Given that the amount of $KMnO_4$ is 25.0 grams.

Mass of 1 mole of $KMnO_4$ = 158 grams

The number of atoms in 1 mole of $KMnO_4$ is 4.

Mass of oxygen in 1 mole of $KMnO_4$ = 16\times 4 = 68 grams.

Here, 158 grams of $KMnO_4$ has 68 grams of oxygen

So, the amount of oxygen in 1 gram of $KMnO_4$ = 68/158 grams

Therefore, the amount of oxygen in 1 gram of $KMnO_4$ = $\frac {68}{158}\times 25$ grams

=10.76 grams

Hence, 25 grams of $KMnO_4$ has 10.76 grams of oxygen.

Rank these acids according to their expected pKa values.ClCH2COOHClCH2CH2COOHCH3CH2COOHCl2CHCOOHIn order of highest pka to lowes

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH > CH₃CH₂COOH > ClCH₂CH₂COOH > ClCH₂COOH

Explanation:

Electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) increase acidity by inductive removal of electrons from the carboxyl group.

Electron-donating groups (EDGs) decrease acidity by inductive donation of electrons to the carboxyl group.

The closer the substituent is to the carboxyl group, the greater is its effect.
The more substituents, the greater the effect.
The effect tails off rapidly and is almost zero after about three C-C bonds.

CH₃CH₂-CH₂COOH — EDG — weakest — pKₐ = 4.82

CH₃-CH₂COOH — reference — pKₐ = 4.75

ClCH₂-CH₂COOH — EWG on β-carbon— stronger — pKₐ = 4.00

ClCH₂COOH — EWG on α-carbon — strongest — pKₐ = 2.87

CO2+2H2O=H3O^++HCO3^-

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Bronsted Lowry Theory

$CO_2$ is the acid

$H_2 O$ is the base

$H_3 O^+$ is the conjugate acid and

$HCO_3^-$ is the conjugate base

Explanation:

Bronsted Lowry Theory:

An acid is a substance that can donate one or more protons

A base is a substance which can accept one or more protons

Hydrogen atom which is neutral (No Charge) contains 1 positive proton, 1 negative electron and 0 neutral neutron.

Thus Hydrogen atom has no Charge and it is neutral.

When an hydrogen atom loses an electron, Hydrogen ion is formed, which will contain 1 positive proton and 0 negative electron and 0 neutral neutron.

Thus Hydrogen ion has a positive charge.

Hydrogen ion is also called as a proton since it has only 1 proton in it.

Hydrogen ion in water that is,

$H^++H_2O\Rightarrow H_3O^+$

$H_3O^+$ is called as Hydronium ion.

Acid loses H+ (proton) to form conjugate Base

Base gains H+ (proton) to form conjugate Acid

For example

Let us consider the example given in the question

$CO_2+2H_2 O>H_3 O^+ +HCO_3^-$ can be written as (removed 1 $H_2 O$ from both the sides )

$CO_2+H_2 O>H^++HCO_3^-$ or

$CO_2+H_2 O > H_2 CO_3$ reversing the equation

$H_2 CO_3+H_2 O>H_3 O^+ +HCO_3^-$

$H_2 CO_3$ is the acid which donates $H^+$ to form $HCO_3^-$

$H_2 O$ is the base which gains $H^+$ to form $H_3 O^+$

$HCO_3^-$ is the conjugate base and $H_3 O^+$ is the conjugate acid

So

$CO_2$ is the acid

$H_2 O$ is the base

$H_3 O^+$ is the conjugate acid and

$HCO_3^-$ is the conjugate base
