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

What test or tests do you use to find NaCl
Serggg [28]
Sodium chloride, regular table salt, is also known as the mineral halite. The diagram to the right shows how sodium and chlorine atoms pack tightly together to form cube-like units of the compound NaCl. Crystals of table salt imitate this structure-they're shaped like little cubes. You can check this out for yourself by viewing a few grains of salt through a magnifying lens or microscope.

How can heat from the sun transfer from the cement to your feet
Svet_ta [14]
The sun is beating down on the concrete. it's a hot day, and you're in the house where it's conditioned. Your feet are fairly cool. When you step outside on the concrete the coldness in your feet seep into the concrete, and the heat from the concrete takes the cold away. It's like when a pot is on the stove, the pan transfers all it's cold to the hot, and the fire replaces the cold. Hope this helps!

A 29.2 mL sample of a 0.458 M aqueous hydrofluoric acid solution is titrated with a 0.337 M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. W
Svetach [21]

Answer:

3.51

Explanation:

Before any sodium hydroxide has been added, the pH is that of the aqueous hydrofluoric acid solution.

HF is a weak acid that dissociates according to the following equation.

HF(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + F⁻(aq)      Ka = 6.76 × 10⁻⁴

We can find [H⁺] using the following expression.

[H⁺] = √(Ca × Ka)

where

Ca: concentration of the acid

Ka: acid dissociation constant

[H⁺] = √(Ca × Ka)

[H⁺] = √(0.458 × 6.76 × 10⁻⁴)

[H⁺] = 3.10 × 10⁻⁴ M

The pH is:

pH = -log [H⁺]

pH = -log 3.10 × 10⁻⁴ = 3.51

Which of the following atoms has the highest electronegativity?
katrin [286]
A. Chlorine is the most electronegative element out of the possible choices. Generally (though not 100% of the time) electronegativity increases as you go further left and up the periodic table.
