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

Answer:

0.35 V

Explanation:

(a) Standard reduction potentials

E°/V

Fe²⁺ + 2e- ⇌ Fe; -0.41

Cr³⁺ + 3e⁻ ⇌ Cr; -0.74

(b) Standard cell potential

E°/V

2Cr³⁺ + 6e⁻ ⇌ 2Cr; +0.74

3Fe ⇌ 3Fe²⁺ + 6e-; -0.41

2Cr³⁺ + 3Fe ⇌ 2Cr + 3Fe²⁺; +0.33

3. Cell potential

2Cr³⁺(0.75 mol·L⁻¹) + 6e⁻ ⇌ 2Cr

3Fe ⇌ 3Fe²⁺(0.25 mol·L⁻¹) + 6e-

2Cr³⁺(0.75 mol·L⁻¹) + 3Fe ⇌ 2Cr + 3Fe²⁺(0.25 mol·L⁻¹)

The concentrations are not 1 mol·L⁻¹, so we must use the Nernst equation

$E = E^{\circ} - \dfrac{RT}{zF}\ln Q$

(a) Data

E° = 0.33 V

R = 8.314 J·K⁻¹mol⁻¹

T = 298 K

z = 6

F = 96 485 C/mol

(b) Calculations:

$Q = \dfrac{\text{[Fe}^{2+}]^{3}}{ \text{[Cr}^{3+}]^{2}} = \dfrac{0.25^{3}}{ 0.75^{2}} =\dfrac{0.0156}{0.562} = 0.0278\\\\E = 0.33 - \left (\dfrac{8.314 \times 298}{6 \times 96485}\right ) \ln(0.0278)\\\\=0.33 -0.00428 \times (-3.58) = 0.33 + 0.0153 = \textbf{0.35 V}\\\text{The cell potential is }\large\boxed{\textbf{0.35 V}}$

The arrows in the chart below represent phase transitions.

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

a. 1,2,and 3.

Explanation:

When something turns liquid, e.g. metal, you need to heat it. When something turns gas, e.g. water, you need to heat it. And when something goes directly from solid to gas, e.g. dry ice, carbon dioxide, you need to add heat to it. hope this helps! Please mark brainiest.

What happen when a piece of silver metal is added to the copper sulphate solution

natta225 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:When silver Ag metal is added to copper sulphate CuSO4 solution, no reaction takes place as silver is less reactive than that of copper and cannot displace copper from its solution. Hence, when a piece of silver metal is added to copper sulphate solution there will be no reaction.
