Using the atomic weights, K = 39, O=16 so KO2= 39+32=71. So K=39/71= 0.549 of KO2 and O2=32=0.45KO2 and O2=8g and 0.45KO2=8g so KO2=8/0.45=17.77g. So to check, K=0.549 x 17.77g=9.76 and so K+O2= 9.76+8g=17.76.

23.43 grams of KO₂ is needed to form 8.0 g of O₂

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Stochiometry in Chemistry learns about chemical reactions mainly emphasizing quantitative, such as calculations of volume, mass, number, which are related to the number of actions, molecules, elements, etc.

In chemical calculations, the reaction can be determined, the number of substances that can be expressed in units of mass, volume, mole, or determine a chemical formula, for example, the substance level or molecular formula of the hydrate.

The reaction equation is the chemical formula of reagents and product substances

A reaction coefficient is a number in the chemical formula of a substance involved in the reaction equation. The reaction coefficient is useful for equalizing reagents and products.

In the reaction equation there are also manifestations of reagent substances namely gas (g), liquid (liquid / l), solid (solid / s) and solution (aqueous / aq).

The reaction between potassium superoxide, KO₂, and CO₂, to get O₂, is usually used by rescue teams in the form of breathing equipment

4KO₂ + 2CO₂ → 2K₂CO₃ + 3O₂

From the above equation the reaction shows that for every 4 moles of KO₂ you will get 3 moles of O₂, or a ratio of moles of KO₂: moles of O₂ = 4: 3

If we want to get 8 grams of O₂, then the number of moles of O₂ becomes:

mole O₂ = gram: molecular mass of O₂

mol O₂ = 8 gram: 32

mol O₂ = 0.25

so the number of KO₂ moles needed: (we use a ratio of KO₂ and O₂ moles)

mol KO₂ = 4/3 x mol O₂

KO KO2 = 4/3 x 0.25

mol KO2 = 0.33 mol

So the number of grams of KO₂ needed

gram KO₂ = mol x molecular mass KO₂

gram KO₂ = 0.33 x 71

gram KO₂ = 23.43

Unabbreviated electron configuration of magnesium
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Mg₁₂ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

Explanation:

Abbreviated and unabbreviated electronic configuration:

The abbreviated electronic configuration uses the noble gas configuration i.e complete electronic shells. For example, the atomic number of neon is ten and magnesium is twelve. The abbreviated electronic configuration of magnesium is written by using the neon abbreviation in following way:

The electronic configuration of neon is given below:

Ne₁₀ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶

The abbreviated electronic configuration of magnesium:

Mg₁₂ = [Ne] 3s²

While the unabbreviated electronic configuration is written without using noble gas electronic configuration.

Unabbreviated electronic configuration of magnesium:

Mg₁₂ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

How can understanding atomic light help astronomers determine what planets are composed of?
GuDViN [60]

The most common method astronomers use to determine the composition of stars, planets, and other objects is spectroscopy. This process utilizes instruments with a grating that spreads out the light from an object by wavelength. This spread-out light is called a spectrum. Every element has a unique fingerprint that allows researchers to determine what it is made of.

The fingerprint often appears as the absorption of light. Every atom has electrons, and these electrons like to stay in their lowest-energy levels. But when photons carrying energy hit an electron, they can push it to higher energy levels. This is absorption, and each element’s electrons absorb light at specific wavelengths related to the difference between energy levels in that atom. But the electrons want to return to their original levels, so they don’t hold onto the energy for long. When they emit the energy, they release photons with exactly the same wavelengths of light that were absorbed in the first place. An electron can release this light in any direction, so most of the light is emitted in directions away from our line of sight. Therefore, a dark line appears in the spectrum at that particular wavelength.  

Because the wavelengths at which absorption lines occur are unique for each element, astronomers can measure the position of the lines to determine which elements are present in a target. The amount of light that is absorbed can also provide information about how much of each element is present.

Write the chemical equation for the reaction of lithium hydroxide (LiOH) with an Arrhenius acid of your choosing. Name and write
Inessa05 [86]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

LiOH(aq) +HCl(aq)→ LiCl(aq) + H₂O(l)

Salt formed is LiCl

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Arrhenius acid refers to a substance that ionizes in water to generate protons or hydrogen ions.
  • Examples of Arrhenius acid include acids such as HCl, H₂SO₄ and HNO₃.
  • A reaction between Lithium hydroxide and an Arrhenius acid such as HCl will yield a salt and water.

That is;

LiOH(aq) +HCl(aq)→ LiCl(aq) + H₂O(l)

  • The salt formed is LiCl
  • The reaction is an example of neutralization reaction.
