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

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Explanation:

Group one:

The elements of group one shows +1 charge because these all are metals and lose their one valance electron.

Hydrogen lithium sodium potassium rubidium cesium francium

Group 2:

The elements of group two shows +2 charge because these all alkali metals and lose their two valance electrons.

beryllium magnesium calcium strontium barium radium

Group 3:

The elements of group three-B shoes +3 charge by losing three valance electrons.

Scandium yttrium lanthanum actinium

Group 4:

The elements of group 4th A and 4th B lose four electrons or gain four electrons to complete the octet and shows +4 or -4 charge.

Group 5:

Group 5th elements gain three electrons and shows -3 charge to complete the 8 electrons. (octet).

It involve the elements of group 5th A.

Group 6:

The elements of group 6A gain two electrons to complete the octet and shows -2 charge.

Group 7:

The elements of group 7A gain one electron to complete the octet and shows -1 charge.

Group 8:

The elements of group 8A are noble gases and have complete octet. That's why shows 0 charge.

Zina [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

n CaCO3 = mass / m.wt

             = 500  /( 40 + 12 + 16x 3)

           =   5 mole

n CaO = 5 moles  ( from the balanced equation we have 1:1 moles )

mass of CaO = nCaO X m.wt

                       5 x(  40 +16 )

                 =   280 grams
