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

When energy in the atom is released, what occurs?
sineoko [7]

Answer:

What happens when electrons in atoms absorb or release energy? When electrons absorb or release energy, their electrons can move to higher or lower energy levels. These electrons lose energy by emitting light when they return to lower energy levels.

An amphoteric salt is one that contains an anion that can act as either an acid or a base in water. Baking soda, NaHCO3, is an e
LenKa [72]

Answer:

pH = 8.34

Explanation:

The equilbriums of the amphoteric HCO₃⁻ (Ion of NaHCO₃) are:

H₂CO₃ ⇄ <em>HCO₃⁻</em> + H⁺ Ka1 <em>-Here, HCO₃⁻ is acting as a base-</em>

<em>HCO₃⁻</em>⇄ CO₃²⁻ + H⁺ Ka2 <em>-Here, is acting as an acid-</em>

Where Ka1 = 4.3x10⁻⁷ and Ka2 = 4.8x10⁻¹¹. As pKa = -log Ka:

pKa1 = 6.37; pKa2 = 10.32

As the pH of amphoteric salts is:

pH = (pKa1 + pKa2) / 2

<h2>pH = 8.34</h2>
