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.

Troyanec [42]
Charles law gives the relationship between temperature and volume of gases. It  states that the volume of gas is directly proportional to temperature at constant pressure. 
V / T = k 
where V - volume and T - temperature in Kelvin and k - constant 
\frac{V1}{T1} =  \frac{V2}{T2}
where parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation 
T1 - 20 °C + 273 = 293 K
substituting these values in the equation 
\frac{40.0 mL}{293 K}  =  \frac{80.0 mL}{T}
T = 586 K
temperature in celsius = 586 K - 273 = 313 °C
new temperature is 313 °C

How does the maximum oxidation number vary across a period in the main groups? Is the pattern in Period 2 different?
snow_lady [41]

As a result, the greatest number of an atom's oxidation state will gradually rise over each period of the periodic table. For instance, the third period's highest value of the oxidation number will fall between 1 and 7.

  • The Periodic Table only consistently varies the oxidation numbers of Group 1 and Group 2 metals in their compounds, which are always +1 and +2, respectively.
  • Elements have an increasing number of valence electrons that can range from 1 to 8 and move from left to right over time. However, when H or O are added to an element first, the element's valency rises to 4, then falls to zero.
<h3>What causes a rise in the oxidation number?</h3>

An increase in oxidation number results from the loss of negatively charged electrons, whereas a reduction in oxidation number results from the gain of electrons. The result is a rise in the oxidation number of the oxidized element or ion.

<h3>Pattern of the Period 2?</h3>

The trends in Period 2 are significantly more clear-cut. All elements in period 2 experience a decrease in atomic radius, an increase in electronegativity, and an increase in ionization energy as their atomic number rises.
