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.

I need to make up an experiment !! Please help
katen-ka-za [31]

Question: Baking a Cake Without Flour.

Hypothesis: I think that when I remove the flour from the standard cake recipe, I'll end up with a flat but tasty cake.

Procedure: I baked two cakes during my experiment. For my control, I baked a cake following a normal recipe. I used the Double Fudge Cake recipe on page 292 of the Betty Crocker Cookbook. For my experimental cake, I followed the same recipe but left out the flour. I first obtained a 2-quart mixing bowl.  

Results: My control cake, which I cooked for 25 minutes, measured 4 cm high.  Eight out of ten tasters that I picked at random from the class found it to be an acceptable dessert. After 25 minutes of baking, my experimental cake was 1.5 cm high and all ten tasters refused to eat it because it was burnt to a crisp.

What did I learn?/Conclusion: Since the experimental cake burned, my results did not support my hypothesis.  I think that the cake burned because it had less mass, but cooked for the same amount of time.  I propose that the baking time be shortened in subsequent trials.

I hope this helped :))

What transition energy corresponds to an absorption line at 527 nm?​
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

E = 3.77×10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

Given data:

Wavelength of absorption line = 527 nm (527×10⁻⁹m)

Energy of absorption line = ?

Solution:

Formula:

E = hc/λ

h = planck's constant = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js

c = speed of wave = 3×10⁸ m/s

by putting values,

E = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js ×  3×10⁸ m/s / 527×10⁻⁹m

E = 19.89×10⁻²⁶ Jm /527×10⁻⁹m

E = 0.0377×10⁻¹⁷ J

E = 3.77×10⁻¹⁹ J

Is 2 KNO₃ + H₂CO₃ → K₂CO₃ + 4 HNO₃ a balanced equation
krok68 [10]

Hey there!

The elements in this equation are K, N, O, H, and C.

Let's count how many of each are on each side to see if it is balanced.

K: 2 on the left, 2 on the right.

<em>N: 2 on the left, 4 on the right. </em>

<em>O: 9 on the left, 6 on the right. </em>

<em>H: 2 on the left, 4 on the right. </em>

C: 1 on the left, 1 on the right.

Notice that there are different amounts of N, O, and H on the left side and the right side.

This means that the equation is not balanced.

Hope this helps!
