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

Answer:

5.00×10-19 J

Explanation:

E = hv

but v = c ÷ wavelength

E = (6.626×10-34) × ((3×10^8)÷(398×10-9))

= 4.9945×10-19

≈5.00×10-19

Hope this helps

In your own words, describe the purpose of using a chemical equation.<br><br> PLEASEEEE HURRY
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Hey mate, here is your answer. Hope it helps you.

Explanation:

To show how substances in a chemical reaction interact and to keep track of all elements and the number of atoms in each element on each side of the equation.The purpose of writing a balanced chemical equation is to know: the reactants (starting material) and products (end results) that occur. the ratios in which they react so you can calculate how much reactants you need and how much products can be formed.
