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.

How many grams of glucose are needed to prepare 400. g of a 2.00% (m/m) glucose solution g?
Dominik [7]
The grams   of glucose  are  needed  to  prepare  400g  of  a 2.00%(m/m)  glucose  solution  g  is  calculated  as  below

=% m/m =mass  of the solute/mass  of  the  solution  x100

let mass of   solute  be represented  by  y
mass  of solution = 400 g
 % (m/m) = 2% = 2/100

 grams  of  glucose  is  therefore =2/100 =  y/400
by cross  multiplication

100y = 800
divide   both side  by  100

y= 8.0 grams

Reading the above graph to the nearest tenth of a milliliter, what is the volume of sodium hydroxide at the equivalence point?
Vlada [557]

Answer:

The volume of sodium hydroxide at the equivalence point is:

  • <u>14.9 mL of sodium hydroxide</u>.

Explanation:

<u>The equivalence point occurs when, in this case, the HCl is completely neutralized with the solution of NaOH, how you can see this doesn't occur in the last point but occurs in the nineteenth point, where the pH is no more acid (below to 7) but is 11 approximately</u>, then you must see in the X-axis from this point and you can see the volume is almost 15, by this reason I calculate the valor of 14.9 milliliters.

in order to find the molar mass of an unknown compound, a research scientist prepared a solution of 0.930 g of an unknown in 125
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Molar mass→ 0.930 g / 6.45×10⁻³ mol = 144.15 g/mol

Explanation:

Let's apply the formula for freezing point depression:

ΔT = Kf . m

ΔT = 74.2°C - 73.4°C → 0.8°C

Difference between the freezing T° of pure solvent and freezing T° of solution

Kf = Cryoscopic constant → 5.5°C/m

So, if we replace in the formula

ΔT = Kf . m → ΔT / Kf = m

0.8°C / 5.5 m/°C = m → 0.0516 mol/kg

These are the moles in 1 kg of solvent so let's find out the moles in our mass of solvent which is 0.125 kg

0.0516 mol/kg . 0.125 kg = 6.45×10⁻³ moles. Now we can determine the molar mass:

Molar mass (mol/kg) → 0.930 g / 6.45×10⁻³ mol = 144.15 g/mol
