What is the approximate percent by mass of potassium in KHCO3?

Chemistry
1 answer:
lozanna [386]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The mass percent of potassium is 39%

Option C is correct

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Atomic mass of K = 39.10 g/mol

Atomic mass of H = 1.01 g/mol

Atomic mass of C = 12.01 g/mol

Atomic mass of O = 16.0 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate molar mass of KHCO3

Molar mass KHCO3 = 39.10 + 12.01 + 1.01 + 3*16.0

Molar mass KHCO3 = 100.12 g/mol

Step 3: Calculate mass percent of potassium (K)

%K = (atomic mass of K / molar mass of KHCO3) * 100%

%K = (39.10 / 100.12) * 100%

%K = 39.05 %

The mass percent of potassium is 39%

Option C is correct

 <span>Same answer, different setup. We know that the sum of the oxidation numbers is zero for a compound and the ionic charge for a polyatomic ion, and we know that sulfite ion is -2. 

Create an algebraic equation by multiplying the subscripts times the oxidation number of a single element.

En un vaso de precipitado de un litro se coloca exactamente 500 mL de agua destilada a temperatura ambiente y se realizan dos ex
Serga [27]

Answer:

1) La masa del agua a temperatura ambiente es de 500 gramos, 2) La masa del agua cuando se congela es de 500 gramos, 3) La masa de agua que queda después de la evaporación es de 400 gramos, 4) Se ha evaporado 100 gramos de agua.

Explanation:

1) <em>¿Cuál es la masa de agua a temperatura ambiente?</em>

Podemos determinar la masa inicial del agua (m_{o}), medido en gramos, al conocer su densidad (\rho_{w}), medida en gramos por mililitro, y volumen inicial ocupado en el vaso de precipitado (V_{o}), medido en mililitros, a partir de la siguiente expresión:

m_{o} =\rho_{w}\cdot V_{o}

Si sabemos que \rho_{w} = 1\,\frac{g}{mL} y V_{o} = 500\,mL, entonces:

m_{o} = \left(1\,\frac{g}{mL} \right)\cdot (500\,mL)

m_{o} = 500\,g

La masa del agua a temperatura ambiente es de 500 gramos.

2) <em>¿Cuál es la masa de agua cuando se congela?</em>

Puesto que el proceso de congelación no implica transferencia de masa, la masa de agua se conserva al transformarse en hielo. Por tanto, la masa resultante es de 500 gramos.

3) <em>¿Cuál es la masa de agua que queda después de la evaporación?</em>

Durante la evaporación una parte del agua es transferida al aire, entonces podemos calcular la masa final (m_{f}), medido en gramos, de la sustancia al multiplicar el volumen final (V_{f}), medido en mililitros, por la densidad del agua (\rho_{w}), medida en gramos por mililitro,. Es decir,

m_{f} =\rho_{w}\cdot V_{f}

Si sabemos que \rho_{w} = 1\,\frac{g}{mL} y V_{f} = 400\,mL, entonces:

m_{f} = \left(1\,\frac{g}{mL} \right)\cdot (400\,mL)

m_{f} = 400\,g

La masa de agua que queda después de la evaporación es de 400 gramos.

4) <em>¿Qué masa de agua se evaporó? </em>

Determinamos que la masa evaporada de agua (m_{v}), medida en gramos, es igual a la diferencia entre las masas inicial y final, ambas medidas en gramos:

m_{v} =m_{o}-m_{f}

Si m_{o} = 500\,g y m_{f} = 400\,g, entonces tenemos que:

m_{v} = 500\,g -400\,g

m_{v} = 100\,g

Se ha evaporado 100 gramos de agua.
