Answer:

There will react 78.2 grams of potassium

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Potassium = K

Mass of oxygen = 16.00 grams

Mass of potassium oxide produced = 94.00 grams

Molar mass potassium = 39.1 g/mol

Molar mass Oxygen = 32 g/mol

Molar mass potassium oxide = 94.2 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

4K + O2 → 2K2O

Step 3: Calculate moles O2

Moles O2 = mass O2 / molar mass O2

Moles O2 = 16.00 grams / 32 g/mol

Moles O2 = 0.5 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles K2O

Moles K2O = 94.00 grams / 94.2 g/mol

Moles K2O = 1.00 moles

Step 5: Calculate moles of potassium

For 1 moles of O2 we need 4 moles of K to produce 2 moles of K2O

For 0.5 moles O2 we need 4*0.5 moles = 2.0 moles of potassium

Step 6: Calculate mass of potassium

Mass potassium = 2.0 moles * 39.1 g/mol

Mass potassium = 78.2 grams

There will react 78.2 grams of potassium

Calculate how many grams of sodium azide (NaN3) are needed to inflate a 25.0 × 25.0 × 20.0 cm bag to a pressure of 1.35 atm at a

Luden [163]

Answer : The mass of $NaN_3$ at temperature $20^oC$ 28.47 g.

The mass of $NaN_3$ at temperature $10^oC$ 29.51 g.

Solution : Given,

Pressure of gas = 1.35 atm

Temperature of gas = $20^oC=273+20=293K$ $(0^oC=273K)$

Volume of gas = $25\times 25\times 20cm=12500cm^3=12.5L$ $(1L=1000cm^3)$

Molar mass of $NaN_3$ = 65 g/mole

Part 1 : First we have to calculate the moles of gas at temperature $20^oC$ . The gas produced in the given reaction is $N_2$ .

Using ideal gas equation,

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of the gas

V = volume of the gas

T = temperature of the gas

n = number of moles of gas

R = Gas constant = 0.0821 Latm/moleK

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

$(1.35atm)\times (12.5L)=n\times (0.0821Latm/moleK)\times (293K)$

By rearranging the terms, we get the value of 'n'

$n=0.7015moles$

The moles of $N_2$ = 0.7015 moles

The given balanced reaction is,

$20NaN_3(s)+6SiO_2(s)+4KNO_3(s)\rightarrow 32N_2(g)+5Na_4SiO_4(s)+K_4SiO_4(s)$

As, 32 moles of $N_2$ produced from 20 moles of $NaN_3$

So, 0.7015 moles of $N_2$ produced from $\frac{20}{32}\times 0.7015=0.438$ moles of $NaN_3$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $NaN_3$ .

$\text{ Mass of }NaN_3=\text{ Moles of }NaN_3\times \text{ Molar mass of }NaN_3$

$\text{ Mass of }NaN_3=(0.438moles)\times (65g/mole)=28.47g$

Therefore, the mass of $NaN_3$ needed are 28.47 g.

Part 2 : We have to calculate the moles of gas at temperature $10^oC$ and same volume & pressure.

Using ideal gas equation,

$PV=nRT$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

$(1.35atm)\times (12.5L)=n\times (0.0821Latm/moleK)\times (283K)$

By rearranging the terms, we get the value of 'n'

$n=0.726moles$

The moles of $N_2$ = 0.726 moles

The given balanced reaction is,

$20NaN_3(s)+6SiO_2(s)+4KNO_3(s)\rightarrow 32N_2(g)+5Na_4SiO_4(s)+K_4SiO_4(s)$

As, 32 moles of $N_2$ produced from 20 moles of $NaN_3$

So, 0.726 moles of $N_2$ produced from $\frac{20}{32}\times 0.726=0.454$ moles of $NaN_3$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $NaN_3$ .

$\text{ Mass of }NaN_3=\text{ Moles of }NaN_3\times \text{ Molar mass of }NaN_3$

$\text{ Mass of }NaN_3=(0.454moles)\times (65g/mole)=29.51g$

Therefore, the mass of $NaN_3$ needed are 29.51 g.

Describing Chemical Reactions

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

mass of Liquid 1 + mass of Liquid 2 = mass of solid + mass of gas

Explanation:

iquid 1 reacts with Liquid 2, producing a solid and a gas. Using this scenario, which supports the law of conservation

of mass?

EEEE

O mass of Liquid 1 + mass of solid = mass of Liquid 2 + mass of gas

O mass of Liquid 1 - mass of solid = mass of Liquid 2-mass of gas

O mass of Liquid 1 - mass of Liquid 2 = mass of solid + mass of gas

based on the law of the conservation of matter, the sum of the masses of the reactants must equal the sum of the masses of the products

so the correct answer is

mass of Liquid 1 + mass of Liquid 2 = mass of solid + mass of gas

Calculate the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a 32g sample of water from 8°C to 22°C.

qwelly [4]

Answer:

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a 32g sample of water from 8°C to 22°C is 1,874.432 J

Explanation:

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

Sensible heat is the amount of heat that a body absorbs or releases without any changes in its physical state (phase change).

Between heat and temperature there is a direct proportional relationship. The constant of proportionality depends on the substance that constitutes the body and its mass, and is the product of the specific heat and the mass of the body. So, the equation that allows to calculate heat exchanges is:

Q = c * m * ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, constituted by a substance of specific heat c and where ΔT is the variation in temperature.

In this case:

c= 4.184 $\frac{J}{g*C}$
m= 32 g
ΔT= Tfinal - Tinitial= 22°C - 8°C= 14°C

Replacing:

Q= 32 g* 4.184 $\frac{J}{g*C}$ *14 °C

Solving:

Q= 1,874.432 J

<u><em>The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a 32g sample of water from 8°C to 22°C is 1,874.432 J</em></u>

Which pair of compounds are both products of photosynthesis?

Lelechka [254]

Answer: Glucose and oxygen

Explanation:

The basic products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen. Photosynthesis is a process in which green plants produce there own food from carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) and in the presence of energy from the sun to produce glucose(food) and oxygen

After series of reaction, the overall equation for photosynthesis is

6CO2 + 6H20 + (sunlight ) → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Carbon dioxide + water + energy from sunlight to produces glucose and oxygen.

Answer is glucose and oxygen
