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.

Given that the initial rate constant is 0.0110s−1 at an initial temperature of 21 ∘C , what would the rate constant be at a temp
gulaghasi [49]

The rate constant is mathematically given as

K2=2.67sec^{-1}

<h3>What is the Arrhenius equation?</h3>

The rate constant for a particular reaction may be calculated with the use of the Arrhenius equation. This constant can be stated in terms of two distinct temperatures, T1 and T2, as follows:

ln(\frac{K2}{K1})= (\frac{Ea}{R})*(\frac{1}{T1}-\frac{1}{T2})

Therefore

KT1= 0.0110^{-1}

T1= 21+273.15

T1= 294.15K

T2= 200  

T2=200+273.15

T2= 473.15K

Ea= 35.5 Kj/Mol

Hence, in  j/mol R Ea is

Ea=35.5*1000 j/mol R

ln(\frac{K2}{0.0110})= (\frac{35.5*1000}{8.314})*(\frac{1}{294.15}-\frac{1}{473.15}\\\\ln(\frac{K2}{0.0110})=5.492

K2/0.0110 =e^(5.492)

K2/0.0110 =242.74

K2= 242.74*0.0110

K2=2.67sec^{-1}

In conclusion, rate constant

K2=2.67sec^{-1}

Why is chromatography particularly well suited to the needs of a drug analyst
Zarrin [17]

Chromatography is used in purification. Drugs analysts may use the technique to separate the active molecule in a drug molecule, for efficacy or toxicity analysis, from the other drug components.

Explanation:

Chromatography is used to separate a mixture of different components based on the size of their molecules. In liquid chromatography, the mixture is dissolved in a solvent that acts as the mobile phase and then passed along a stationary phase with different kinds of pores, As the mixture passes through the pores, their different components are separated because they take different times to pass through the stationary phase because of their different rates in passing through the pores.

In gas chromatography, a gas is used as a mobile phase while a liquid is used as the stationary phase.

The length of the school's gymnasium is 30 meters long. How many centimeters long is the school's gymnasium​
aleksley [76]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 3000 cm

Explanation:

30 meters long to cm

We can use a rule of three to solve it

We know that              1 meter ------------------  100 cm

                                  30 meters ----------------    x

                               x = 30(100)/1 = 3000 cm
