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

The mass of oxygen  that was involved  in the reaction is calculated as below

 mass of the oxygen =mass of the  compound- mass  of the  potassium

that is  7.11 grams -3.91 grams= 3.2  grams  of oxygen  is involved

This is because the mass of the compound composes the mass of potassium + mass of the oxygen

It takes 839./kJmol to break a carbon-carbon triple bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-carbon tr
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-carbon triple bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 143 nm.

Explanation:

It takes 839 kJ/mol to break a carbon-carbon triple bond.

Energy required to break 1 mole of carbon-carbon triple bond = E = 839 kJ

E = 839 kJ/mol = 839,000 J/mol

Energy required to break 1 carbon-carbon triple bond = E'

E'=\frac{ 839,000 J/mol}{N_A}=\frac{839,000 J}{6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}}=1.393\times 10^{-18} J

The energy require to single carbon-carbon triple bond will corresponds to wavelength which is required to break the bond.

E'=\frac{hc}{\lambda } (Using planks equation)

\lambda =\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34} Js\times 3\times 10^8 m/s}{1.393\times 10^{-18} J}

\lambda =1.427\times 10^{-7} m =142.7 nm = 143 nm

(1 m = 10^9 nm)

The maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-carbon triple bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 143 nm.

Calculate the molar mass of BA(NO3)2
VikaD [51]

Hey there!

Ba(NO₃)₂  

Ba: 1 x 137.327 = 137.327

N: 2 x 14.007 = 28.014

O: 6 x 16 = 96

-----------------------------------

                          261.341 g/mol

The molar mass of Ba(NO₃)₂ is 261.341 g/mol.

Hope this helps!
