What is the empirical formula of a compound composed of 30.5 g potassium (k) and 6.24 g oxygen (o)?

1 answer:

5 0

K5O2

convert grams to moles, divide both by the smallest mole mass, multiply that until hole.

30.5 g K ÷ 39.10 = .78 mol
6.24 g O ÷ 16 = .39 mol
.78 mol ÷ .39 mol = 2.5
.39 mol ÷ .39 mol = 1
2.5 x 2 = 5
1 x 2 = 2
K5O2

The decomposition of acetaldehyde is a second order reaction with a rate constant of 4.71 10−8 L/mol/s. What is the instantaneou

pochemuha

Answer: Rate of decomposition of acetaldehyde in a solution is $1.45\times 10^{-14}mol/Ls$

Explanation:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

For a reaction : $A\rightarrow products$

$Rate=k[A]^x$

k= rate constant

x = order of the reaction = 2

$Rate=4.71\times 10^{-8}L/mol/s\times {5.55\times 10^{-4}M}^2$

$Rate=1.45\times 10^{-14}$

Thus rate of decomposition of acetaldehyde in a solution is $1.45\times 10^{-14}mol/Ls$
