Answer:
Mass percent of Mn is 34.76 %
Explanation:
<em>Mass percent</em> of an element is the mass of that element divided by the total mass of the elements forming that compound (or molecular mass.
So,
Mass percent of Mn will be given as,
%Mn = Atomic Mass of Mn / Molecular Mass of KMnO₄ × 100
So,
Atomic Mass of Mn = 54.94 g/mol
Molecular Mass of KMnO4 = 158.034 g/mol
Putting values in above formula,
%Mn = 54.94 g/mol ÷ 158.034 g/mol × 100
%Mn = 34.76 %
4.48
pH=pKa+log([A-/HA])
25% deprotonated tells us that A- is .25 and that the rest (75% is protonated) thats .75.
4 = pKa + log \frac{.25}{.75}
4 - log \frac{.25}{.75} = pKa
4.48=pKa
<span>Several
important pollutants are produced by fossil fuel combustion: carbon
monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and hydrocarbons. In addition,
total suspended particulates contribute to air pollution, and nitrogen
oxides and hydrocarbons can combine in the atmosphere to form
tropospheric ozone, the major constituent of smog.
Carbon monoxide is a gas formed as a by-product during the incomplete
combustion of all fossil fuels. Exposure to carbon monoxide can cause
headaches and place additional stress on people with heart disease. Cars
and trucks are the primary source of carbon monoxide emissions.
Two oxides of nitrogen--nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxide--are formed in
combustion. Nitrogen oxides appear as yellowish-brown clouds over many
city skylines. They can irritate the lungs, cause bronchitis and
pneumonia, and decrease resistance to respiratory infections. They also
lead to the formation of smog. The transportation sector is responsible
for close to half of the US emissions of nitrogen oxides; power plants
produce most of the rest.
Sulfur oxides are produced by the oxidization of the available sulfur in
a fuel. Utilities that use coal to generate electricity produce
two-thirds of the nation's sulfur dioxide emissions. Nitrogen oxides and
sulfur oxides are important constituents of acid rain. These gases
combine with water vapor in clouds to form sulfuric and nitric acids,
which become part of rain and snow. As the acids accumulate, lakes and
rivers become too acidic for plant and animal life. Acid rain also
affects crops and buildings.
Hydrocarbons are a broad class of pollutants made up of hundreds of
specific compounds containing carbon and hydrogen. The simplest
hydrocarbon, methane, does not readily react with nitrogen oxides to
form smog, but most other hydrocarbons do. Hydrocarbons are emitted from
human-made sources such as auto and truck exhaust, evaporation of
gasoline and solvents, and petroleum refining.
The white haze that can be seen over many cities is tropospheric ozone,
or smog. This gas is not emitted directly into the air; rather, it is
formed when ozone precursors mainly nonmethane hydrocarbons and nitrogen
oxides react in the presence of heat and sunlight. Human exposure to
ozone can produce shortness of breath and, over time, permanent lung
damage. Research shows that ozone may be harmful at levels even lower
than the current federal air standard. In addition, it can reduce crop
yields.
Finally, fossil fuel use also produces particulates, including dust,
soot, smoke, and other suspended matter, which are respiratory
irritants. In addition, particulates may contribute to acid rain
formation.
Also, water and land pollution.

The Balanced Chemical Equation is as follow;
4 KO₂ + 2 CO₂ → 2 K₂CO₃ + 3 O₂
First find out the Limiting Reagent,
According to equation,
284 g (4 moles) KO₂ reacted with = 44.8 L (2 moles) of CO₂
So,
27.9 g of KO₂ will react with = X L of CO₂
Solving for X,
X = (44.8 L × 27.9 g) ÷ 284 g
X = 4.40 L of CO₂
Hence, to consume 27.9 g of KO₂ only 4.40 L CO₂ is required, while, we are provided with 29 L of CO₂, it means CO₂ is in excess and KO₂ is is limited amount, Therefore, KO₂ will control the yield of K₂CO₃. So,
According to eq.
284 g (4 moles) KO₂ formed = 138.2 g of K₂CO₃
So,
27.9 g of KO₂ will form = X g of K₂CO₃
Solving for X,
X = (138.2 g × 27.9 g) ÷ 284 g
X = 13.57 g of K₂CO₃
So, 13.57 g of K₂CO₃ formed is the theoretical yield.
%age Yield = 13.57 / 21.8 × 100
%age Yield = 62.24 %
