Answer:

52.0004 grams of mass of potassium superoxide  is required

Explanation:

Let moles carbon dioxide gas be n at 22.0 °C and 767 mm Hg occupying 8.90 L of volume.

Pressure of the gas,P = 767 mm Hg = 0.9971 atm

Temperature of the gas,T = 22.0 °C = 295.15 K

Using an ideal gas equation to calculate the number of moles.

PV=nRT

n=\frac{0.9971 atm\times 8.90 L}{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 295.15 K}

n = 0.3662 mol

4KO_2(s)+2CO_2(g)\rightarrow 2K_2CO_3(s)+3O_2(g)

According to reaction, 2 moles of carbon-dioxide reacts with 4 moles of potassium superoxide.

Then 0.3662 mol of  of carbon-dioxide will react with:

\frac{4}{2}\times 0.3662 mol=0.7324 mol of potassium superoxide.

Mass of 0.7324 mol potassium superoxide:

0.7324 mol × 71 g/mol = 52.0004 g

52.0004 grams of mass of potassium superoxide is required.

9. Suppose that 25.0 mL of a gas at 725 mm Hg and 20°C is converted to standard
storchak [24]

Answer:

V₂ = 22.23 mL

Explanation:

According to general gas equation:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

Given data:

Initial volume = 25 mL

Initial pressure = 725 mmHg (725/760 =0.954 atm)

Initial temperature = 20 °C (20 +273 = 293 K)

Final pressure = standard = 1 atm

Final temperature = standard = 273.15 K

Final volume = ?

Solution:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂/ T₁  P₂

V₂ = 0.954 atm × 25 mL × 273.15 K / 293 K × 1 atm

V₂ =  6514.63 mL . atm . K  / 293 K . atm

V₂ = 22.23 mL

A laboratory experiment requires 4.8 l of a 2.5 m solution of sulfuric acid (h2so4), but the only available h2so4 is a 6.0 m sto
Airida [17]
To determine the amount of 6.0 M H2SO4 needed for the preparation, equate the number of moles of the 6.0 M and 2.5 M H2SO4 solution. This is done as follows
 
                                             M1 x V1 = M2 x V2

Substituting the known variables,
 
                                             (6.0 M) x V1 = (2.5 M) x (4.8 L)

Solving for V1 gives an answer of V1 = 2 L. Thus, to prepare the needed solution, dilute 2 L of 6.0 M H2SO4 solution with water until the volume reach 4.8 L.
