In order to jave 2.2 moles of potassium oxide, how many grams of potassium are needed

1 answer:

8 0

Answer is: mass of potassium is 172.04 grams
Balanced chemical reaction: 4K + O2 = 2K2O.
n(K2O) = 2.2 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(K2O) : n(K) = 2 : 4 ( 1 : 2).
n(K) = 4.4 mol.
m(K) = n(K) • M(K).
n(K) = 4.4 mol • 39.1 g/mol.
n(K) = 172.04 g.
n - amount of substance.
m - mass of substance.
M - molar mass.

The trend of this graph is a. Negative b. Positive c. Zero

Sveta_85 [38]

B. positive because y increases as x does. It it were negative y would decrease as x increases and it would be 0 if y stayed the same as x increases.

The Nutrition Facts label for crackers states that one serving contains 19 g of carbohydrate, 4 g of fat, and 2 g of protein. Wh

sp2606 [1]

Answer: The amount of kilocalories contained in the given serving of crackes is 0.120 kCal

Explanation:

As per the USDA:

Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram, protein provides 4 calories per gram, and fat provides 9 calories per gram

We are given:

Mass of fat in the crackers = 4 g

Mass of carbohydrates in the crackers = 19 g

Mass of protein in the crackers = 2 g

Conversion factor used: 1 kCal = 1000 Cal

Applying unitary method:

For Fat:

1 gram of fat provides 9 calories

So, 4 gram of fat will provide = $\frac{9}{1}\times 4=36Cal=0.036kCal$

For Carbohydrates:

1 gram of carbohydrates provides 4 calories

So, 19 gram of carbohydrates will provide = $\frac{4}{1}\times 19=76Cal=0.076kCal$

For Proteins:

1 gram of proteins provides 4 calories

So, 2 gram of fat will provide = $\frac{4}{1}\times 2=8Cal=0.008kCal$

Total kilocalories per serving = [0.036 + 0.076 + 0.008] kCal = 0.120 kCal

Hence, the amount of kilocalories contained in the given serving of crackes is 0.120 kCal

Use the particle theory to describe each of the three states of matter.

Anna007 [38]

Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas. Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around. ... Gaseous matter is composed of particles packed so loosely that it has neither a defined shape nor a defined volume.

In reaction 1 of the Krebs cycle, acetyl‑CoA formed in the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction condenses with the four‑carbon compound to form citrate with the elimination of coenzyme A. Since the product has three carboxyl groups, this pathway is referred to as the cycle. In reaction 2 of the Krebs cycle, this product then undergoes to form isocitrate. The enzyme is called aconitase because the compound cis‑aconitate is the intermediate product of the reaction. Reaction 3 eliminates CO2 to form the five‑carbon dicarboxylic acid α-cetoglutarate. Oxidation also occurs, with electrons transferred from the substrate to COO- . Consequently, this reaction is an oxidative decarboxylation.

In the image, you can see the reaction 2 in Krebs cycle is a two steps reaction with an intermediate cis-aconitase and a product called isocitrate.
