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

An aqueous solution contains 32.7% KCl (wt/wt%). what is the mole fraction of KCl in the solution
inna [77]

The mole fraction of KCl in the solution is 0.1051

calculation

mole fraction of KCl in solution = moles of KCl / total number of moles(moles of KCl +moles of H2O)

moles=mass/molar mass

mass of KCl=32.7g

molar mass of KCl= 39 +35.5

moles of KCl is therefore= 32.7g/74.5 g/mol=0.439 moles

find the moles of H2O= mass of H2O/molar mass

mass of H2O=100-32.7=67.3g

molar mass of H2O=( 1 x2) +16=18 g/mol

moles = 67.3/18 =3.739 moles

total moles=3.739+0.439=4.178 moles

mole fraction is therefore=0.439/4.178=0.1051

Which of these is not a covalent molecule?<br> 1. F2<br> 2. CO<br> 3. LiF<br> 4. NH3
beks73 [17]

LiF or lithium fluoride is the non covalent molecule or ionic compound.

Option 3.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Covalent molecules are those molecules which do have actual bonds between the atoms present in the molecule by sharing of the electrons. But in ionic molecules, there's no actual bonds between the atoms, but the oppositely charged ions are attracted towards each other by means of electrostatic force of attraction.

The molecules that are formed by the atoms with high electronegativity and electropositivity are actually ionic because the atoms with high electronegativity are able to actually gain electron readily and the atoms with high electropositivity are actually ready to give the electrons to the electronegative elements.

Lithium is highly electropositive and fluoride is highly electronegative. So they establish an ionic bond. But other molecules like fluorine molecule has both the electronegative elements, Carbon monoxide has carbon which isn't electropositive highly, and ammonia has hydrogen which isn't electropositive.

So lithium fluoride is the ionic compound.
