Answer:
46.40 g.
Explanation:
- It is a stichiometric problem.
- The balanced equation of the reaction: 4K + O₂ → 2K₂O.
- It is clear that 4.0 moles of K reacts with 1.0 mole of oxygen produces 2.0 moles of K₂O.
- We should convert the mass of K (38.5 g) into moles using the relation:
<em>n = mass / molar mass,</em>
n = (38.5 g) / (39.098 g/mol) = 0.985 mole.
<em>Using cross multiplication:</em>
4.0 moles of K produces → 2.0 moles of K₂O, from the stichiometry.
0.985 mole of K produces → ??? moles of K₂O.
∴ The number of moles of K₂O produced = (0.985 mole) (2.0 mole) / (4.0 mole) = 0.4925 mole ≅ 0.5 mole.
- Now, we can get the mass of K₂O:
∴ mass = n x molar mass = (0.5 mole) (94.2 g/mol) = 46.40 g.
The new pressure : P₂ = 1038.39 mmHg
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
1.5 L container at STP
Heated to 100 °C
Required
The new pressure
Solution
Conditions at T 0 ° C and P 1 atm are stated by STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure).
So P₁ = 1 atm = 760 mmHg
T₁ = 273 K
T₂ = 100 °C+273 = 373 K
Gay Lussac's Law
When the volume is not changed, the gas pressure is proportional to its absolute temperature
Input the value :
P₂=(P₁.T₂)/T₁
P₂=(760 x 373)/273
P₂ = 1038.39 mmHg
The answer is 6.4109 grams
