What is the mass of oxygen in 3.34 g of potassium permanganate?

Answer:

1.35 g

Explanation:

Data Given:

mass of Potassium Permagnate (KMnO₄) = 3.34 g

Mass of Oxygen: ?

Solution:

First find the percentage composition of Oxygen in Potassium Permagnate (KMnO₄)

So,

Molar Mass of KMnO₄ = 39 + 55 + 4(16)

Molar Mass of KMnO₄ = 158 g/mol

Calculate the mole percent composition of  Oxygen in Potassium Permagnate (KMnO₄).

Mass contributed by Oxygen (O) = 4 (16) = 64 g

Since the percentage of compound is 100

So,

                        Percent of Oxygen (O) = 64 / 158 x 100

                        Percent of Oxygen (O) = 40.5 %

It means that for ever gram of Potassium Permagnate (KMnO₄) there is 0.405 g of Oxygen (O) is present.

So,

for the 3.34 grams of Potassium Permagnate (KMnO₄) the mass of Oxygen will be

                  mass of Oxygen (O) = 0.405 x 3.34 g

                  mass of Oxygen (O) = 1.35 g

Explain how the attractive forces between the particles in a liquid are related to the equilibirum vapour pressure of that liqui
drek231 [11]

Answer:

Attractive forces between particles are inversely proportional to vapour pressure.

Explanation:

Inside a liquid, molecules undergo random motion (thermal motion), but also interact with one another via electromagnetic forces of different kinds, like Van der Waals forces, ion-dipole interactions, hydrogen bonds, etc. These forces keep the liquid together, giving it a definite volume, in distinction to gases, which take the volume of the vessel that contains them.

Now, some molecules in a liquid can attain a high velocity as a random outcome of thermal motion, if this molecule is at the liquid's surface, it might actually escape! actually, many molecules might do that, and form a vapour over the liquid's surface.

Now, we know that liquids exist, therefore this process has to reach an equilibrium, that means, once the vapour becomes <em>dense </em>(or <em>concentrated</em>)<em> </em>enough, it would be as likely for a vapour molecule to re-enter the liquid as it is likely for a liquid molecule to leave the liquid and enter into the vapour.

This is called vapour-liquid equilibrium.  

How can we measure how "concentrated" the vapour is? by measuring the pressure above the liquid. We know by the ideal gas law that the number of molecules in a gas is proportional to pressure at constant volume and temperature.

But how does vapour pressure relate to intermolecular forces?

Simply, the stronger the intermolecular forces, the less likely a molecule at the liquid's boundary will be to shoot of into the vapour phase! and viceversa, if intermolecular forces are very weak, the molecules won't hold together much and many molecules will leave the liquid.

As an extreme case imagine a solid, for which intermolecular forces are the strongest, what's the vapour pressure of a solid? Do solids evaporate into the air?  The answer is no, solids (with few exceptions) don't evaporate, and their vapour pressure is extremely small.

Cheers!

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

0.87 pg

Explanation:

<em>GenAlex Medical, a leading manufacturer of medical laboratory equipment, is designing a new automated system that can detect normal levels of dissolved triiodothyronine (230. to 660 pg/dL), using a blood sample that is as small as 380 μL. Calculate the minimum mass in picograms of triiodothyronine that the new system must be able to detect. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em>

Step 1: Convert 380 μL to deciliters

We will use the following conversion factors.

  • 1 L = 10⁶ μL
  • 1 L = 10 dL

380 μL × 1 L/10⁶ μL × 10 dL/1 L = 3.8 × 10⁻³ L

Step 2: Calculate the minimum mass of triiodothyronine that can be found in a 3.8 × 10⁻³ L blood sample

Since we are looking for the minimum mass, we will use the lower limit of the concentration interval (230. pg/dL).

3.8 × 10⁻³ L × 230. pg/dL = 0.87 pg
