The metallic radius of a potassium atom is 231 pm. What is the volume of a potassium atom in cubic meters?

Chemistry

Sauron [17]3 years ago

1 pm = 10∧-10 cm
Therefore, 230 pm is equivalent to 2.3 ×10∧-8 cm.
Atom is in the shape of a sphere,
The volume of a sphere is given by 4/3πr³
Thus, volume of the atom = 4/3π( 2.3 ×10∧-8)³
                                          = 4/3 (3.142 ×12.167×10∧-24
                                           = 5.096 ×10∧-23 cm³
but 1m³= 1000000cm³
Therefore, the volume of the atom = 5.096 ×10∧-29 m³

a chemist dissolved an 11.9-g sample of koh in 100.0 grams of water in a coffee cup calorimeter. when she did so, the water temp
Snowcat [4.5K]

The heat of solution is -51.8 kJ/mol

<h3>What is the heat of solution?</h3>

We know that in a calorimeter, there is no loss or gain of energy. It is a good example of a closed system.

Number of moles of KOH =  11.9-g/56 g/mol = 0.21 moles

Temperature rise = 26.0 ∘c

Mass of the water = 100.0 grams

Heat capacity =  4.184 j/g⋅°c

Then;

ΔH = mcθ

ΔH = 100g * 4.184 j/g⋅°c * 26.0 ∘c = 10.88 kJ

Heat of solution = -(10.88 kJ/ 0.21 moles) = -51.8 kJ/mol

a compound has an empirical formula of CH2 what is the molecular formula if it's molar mass is 252.5 grams/mol
Goryan [66]

Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of components making up the compound. the molecular formula is the actual ratio of components making up the compound.

the empirical formula is CH₂. We can find the mass of CH₂ one empirical unit and have to then find the number of empirical units in the molecular formula.

Mass of one empirical unit - CH₂ - 12 g/mol x 1 + 1 g/mol x 2 = 12 = 14 g

Molar mass of the compound is - 252 .5 g/mol

number of empirical units = molar mass / mass of empirical unit

                                           = \frac{252.5 g/mol}{14 g}

                                           = 18 units

Therefore molecular formula is - 18 times the empirical formula

molecular formula  - CH₂ x 18 = C₁₈H₃₆                                            

molecular formula is C₁₈H₃₆

HELP ASAP! Chemical reactions involving liquids only will be influenced by ALL of the following EXCEPT: a) temperature of the sy
Rom4ik [11]
<span>Chemical reactions involving only liquids will be influenced by ALL of the following EXCEPT: </span><span><span>c) size of reactant particles d) pressure of the system.

</span>Reason:
1) As per Arrhenius theory, rate of chemical reactions is influence by temperature. Mathematically it is expressed as: k = A exp(-Ea/RT)
</span>where, k = rate constant, A = collision frequency, Ea = activation energy, T = temp. From above relation, it can be seen that, chemical reactions involving only liquids will be influenced temperature.

2) Also, if know that, rates of chemical reactions is mathematically expressed as: Rate = [A]^{x} B^{y}....,
where A, B, .. are the reactants.
From above relation, it can be seen that, chemical reactions involving only liquids will be influenced concentration i.e. number of particle. 

3) However, since all the reactant and catalyst used (if any) is in liquid state, particle size of same  will not influence the reaction.

4) Also, since there are no gas-phase reactant, pressure will not affect the reaction.
