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

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Phosphoric acid reacts with magnesium hydroxide to produce magnesium phosphate and water via the following reaction:

2H3PO4 + 3Mg(OH)2 → Mg3(PO4)2 + 6H2O

(solid) (solid) (solid) (liquid)

<h3>Explaination:</h3>

This is a typical neutralization reaction of an acid with a base to form a salt and water. The reaction is exothermic, gives off heat,

ΔH < 0 , and may be balanced by adding balancing numbers in front, ie adding molecules, in order to ensure that the total number of atoms of each element is the same on the left and right hand sides of the equation.

Doing so we obtain :

2H3PO4 + 3Mg(OH)2 → Mg3(PO4)2 + 6H2O

(solid) (solid) (solid) (liquid)

Calcium chloride reacts with sodium hydroxide to form solid calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2. The balanced net ionic equation is
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Ca²⁺ + 2 OH⁻ → Ca(OH)₂(s)

Explanation:

In chemistry, the net ionic equation is a way to write a chemical reaction whereas you write only the ions that are involved in the reaction.

When calcium chloride, CaCl₂ reacts with sodium hydroxide, NaOH to produce Ca(OH)₂ the only ions involved in the reaction are Ca²⁺ and OH⁻, thus, the balanced net ionic equation is:

<em>Ca²⁺ + 2 OH⁻ → Ca(OH)₂(s)</em>

<em>Cl⁻ and Na⁺ are not involved in the reaction and you don't have to write them.</em>

A sample of hydrogen occupies a volume of 351 mL at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. What is the new volume if the temperatu
xeze [42]
Volume of Hydrogen V1 = 351mL 
Temperature T1 = 20 = 20 + 273 = 293 K 
Temperature T2 = 38 = 38 + 273 = 311 K 
We have V1 x T2 = V2 x T1 
So V2 = (V1 x T2) / T1 = (351 x 311) / 293 = 372.56 
Volume at 38 C = 373 ml

1 mole has 6.02*10^23 molecules in it.

1 nickel (II) chloride molecule, NiCl2, has 1 Ni atom in it.

so 1 mole of nickel (II) chloride molecule has 1 mole of Ni atom in it.

so 100 moles of nickel (II) chloride molecule has 100*6.02*10^23

= 6.02*10^25 Ni atom in it.
