Answer : The correct option is (d) 1.5 g K, 0.38 g O₂

Explanation :

The molar masses of potassium and oxygen are very close to each other. Therefore we can assume them to be equal. If we assume that, then according to reaction stoichiometry, 4 moles of K are needed to react with 1 mol of O₂. Since the molar masses are assumed to be equal , we can say that the mass of potassium needed to react with that of oxygen should be 4 times the mass of oxygen.

From the given options, the only option that has less amount of K is option d.

Here, 0.38 g of oxygen needs 0.38 x 4 = 1.52 g of K. But the given mass of potassium is 1.5 g which is less. This indicates that potassium is the limiting reactant as we do not have enough potassium to completely react with all of the oxygen.

Therefore option d is the correct option

The correct lewis structure for COH2 contains how many covalent bonds?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Four covalent bonds.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the attached picture in which you can find the Lewis dot structure for metanal (formaldehyde) we can see two C-H bonds and two C-O bonds via a double bond, thus, we can compute the type of each bond given the electronegativities of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen which are 2.1, 2.5 and 3.5 respectively:

C-H=2.5-2.1=0.4\\C-O=3.5-2.5=1.0

Thus, since both electronegativity difference are less 1.7 we infer that all of them are covalent, therefore, it has four covalent bonds, two C-H bonds and a double C-O bond.

How many moles of electrons is required to deposit 5.6g of iron from a solution of iron (2) tetraoxosulphate(6)
yuradex [85]

Answer:

0.20 mol

Explanation:

Let's consider the reduction of iron from an aqueous solution of iron (II).

Fe²⁺ + 2 e⁻ ⇒ Fe

The molar mass of Fe is 55.85 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 5.6 g of Fe are:

5.6 g × 1 mol/55.85 g = 0.10 mol

2 moles of electrons are required to deposit 1 mole of Fe. The moles of electrons required to deposit 0.10 moles of Fe are

0.10 mol Fe × 2 mol e⁻/1 mol Fe = 0.20 mol e⁻

What mass of copper is deposited when a current of 10.0a is passed through a solution of copper(ii) nitrate for 30.6 seconds?
asambeis [7]
Data Given:

Time = t = 30.6 s

Current = I = 10 A

Faradays Constant = F = 96500

Chemical equivalent = e = 63.54/2 = 31.77 g

Amount Deposited = W = ?

Solution:
             According to Faraday's Law,

                                          W  =  I t e / F

Putting Values,
 
                            W  =  (10 A × 30.6 s × 31.77 g) ÷ 96500

                            W  =  0.100 g

Result:
           0.100 g of Cu
²⁺ is deposited.
