A student thermally decomposed a 0.150 gram sample of impure potassium chlorate. Manganese dioxide was used as a catalyst in the

reaction. The student collected 43.60 mL of oxygen gas over water in a eudiometer. Potassium chloride was the other product of the reaction. The temperature and pressure at collection time were 20.00 oC and 762.10 mm Hg respectively. The water level in the eudiometer was 4.22 cm below the outside water level in the beaker.
1) What is the corrected pressure of the dry oxygen gas?
2) What is the volume in mL, of the dry oxygen gas at STP conditions?
3) How many molecules of oxygen were collected?
4) what is the percent purity of the original potassium chlorate sample?

Answer:

1. Vapor pressure of dry oxygen gas = 747.68 torr

2. Volume at STP = 39.97 mL

3. Number of oxygen gas molecules = 1.074 × 10²¹ molecules

4. Percent purity of KClO3 = 97.3 %

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below :

2 KClO3 (s) ------> 2 KCl (s) + 3 O2 (g)

1) Since the water level in the eudiometer was below the outside water level in the beaker,

Vapor pressure of dry oxygen gas = Total pressure + pressure due to difference in water levels - vapor pressure of water

Vapor pressure of water at 20 °C is 17.535 mm (torr).

Pressure due to difference in water level = 4.22 cm × 10mm/cm / 13.534 (13.534 is the density of mercury) = 3.118 mm (torr).

Vapor pressure of dry oxygen gas = 762.10 torr + 3.118 torr - 17.535 torr

Vapor pressure of dry oxygen gas = 747.68 torr

2) P₁ = 747.68 torr; V₁ = 43.60 ml; T1 = 20 °C + 273.15 = 293.15 K

P₂ = 760 torr; T₂ = 273.15 K; V₂ = ?

Using the general gas equation = P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

V2₂= P₁V₁T₂ / P₂T₁

V₂ = (747.68 × 43.60 × 273.15 ) / (760 × 293.15)

V₂ = 39.97 ml

Volume of dry oxygen gas at STP = 39.97 mL

3) Volume of oxygen gas at STP 39.97 mL = 0.03997 L

Number of moles of oxygen gas in 0.03997 L = volume of gas at STP /molarvolume at STP

Number of moles of oxygen gas = 0.03997/22.4 L

Number of molecules of oxygen gas = 0.03997/22.4 L × 6.03 × 10²³ molecules

Number of oxygen gas molecules = 1.074 × 10²¹ molecules

e) Number of moles of oxygen gas = 0.03997/22.4 = 0.001784 moles

From the equation, mole ratio of oxygen gas and potassium chlorate is 3 : 2

Moles KClO3 = 2/3 × 0.001784 moles = 0.001189 moles

Molar mass of KClO3 = 39 + 35.5 + 3 × 16 = 122.5 g

Actual mass of KClO3 decomposed = 122.5 grams × 0.001189 mole = 0.146 grams

Percent purity = (actual mass KClO3 decomposed / sample mass of impure KClO3) × 100%

Percent purity = (0.146/0.150) × 100% = 97.3 %

The km of an enzyme is 5. 0 mm. Calculate the substrate concentration when this enzyme operates at one‑quarter of its maximum ra
Makovka662 [10]

The substrate concentration of the enzyme operating at one‑quarter of its maximum rate is = 0.333.

Relationship between Km and substrate concentration is -

Km is the concentration of substrate.It allows the enzyme to achieve half Vmax. High Km enzyme requires a higher concentration of substrate to get Vmax. Since, Km is a constant. If the substrate concentration is increased, it has no effect on it.

An enzyme with a high Km has a low affinity for its substrate. The substrate concentration Km corresponds to the substrate concentration.

The substrate concentration at which the reaction rate of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction is half of the maximum reaction rate Vmax.

The equation is:

                <em>V₀ = </em><u><em>Vmax [S] </em></u>

<em>                          [S] + Km</em>

Here,

V₀ is initial rate,

Km is the dissociation constant between the substrate and the enzyme,

Vmax is the maximum rate, and

S is the concentration of substrate.

taking fraction of V₀ and Vmax :

<u><em>    V₀    </em></u><em> = </em><u><em>     [S</em></u><em>]</em><u><em>     </em></u><em>  </em>

<em>Vmax      [S] + Km</em>

<u><em>   </em></u><u>V₀   </u> =   <u>   0.5Km   </u>  = 0.333

Vmax       1.50 + Km

Therefore, the substrate concentration of this enzyme operating at one‑quarter of its maximum rate is = 0.333.

Answer:

Question 1. Nonpolar covalent

Question 2. The fluorine atom is able to attract the shared electrons more strongly than a hydrogen atom

Question 3. True

Explanation:

Question 1

First of all, oxygen is a molecular compound, as it consists of non-metal atoms only (oxygen). This means we wouldn't expect to have any ionic bonding in it, as it doesn't contain a metal ion. A molecular compound has covalent bonding.

Whenever a diatomic molecule contains the same two atoms bonded by a bond, we expect to have a non-polar bond. This is due to the fact that the two atoms are identical and have the same values of electronegativity, meaning the difference in their electronegativity values is 0 and we have no net polarity within the bond.

For a bond between two different atoms, the molecule would be polar, as one atom would have a greater electronegativity (electron withdrawing force) compared to the other atom.

Question 2

Based on the principles of polarity, whenever we have a diatomic molecule, it's only non-polar when the two atoms are the same. In case of HF, we have two different atoms: hydrogen and fluorine. Since the two atoms are not identical, the molecule would be polar overall, as fluorine is more electronegative than hydrogen. Simply speaking, it means that fluorine attracts the shared electrons within the H-F bond stronger than hydrogen does. This makes a difference in electronegativity values between H and F non-zero and an overall polar bond.

Question 3

We may recall the Coulombic force equation. It states that the attraction force is directly proportional to the charge and inversely proportional to the square of a distance between the two charges.

A bond formed between two atoms or ions is the closest distance the two species can approach each other. Intermolecular forces, in contrast, are the forces that atoms experience within a distance greater than the bond length. We may conclude that for a greater distance, the Coulombic force is lower and, hence, the strength of intermolecular forces are significantly lower compared to covalent or ionic bonds.

Which will NOT occur when a light tray ray interacts with a smooth pane of glass?
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

B) diffraction

Explanation:

A smooth pane of glass does not diffract light. A light passing through a smooth pane of glass may be absorbed, reflected or transmitted.

Diffraction only occurs with special types of glasses embedded with a diffraction grating and are called super prisms. Diffraction glasses use a a gradient lens which is able to  separate light into all the colors of the rainbow.

Recall that diffraction is the separation of white light into its component wavelengths.

The point on a magnet Where magnet effect is strongest is called ​
notsponge [240]

Pole

Explanation:

A magnetic pole is the point on a magnet where a magnet effect is strongest. Around a magnet, there are magnetic fields.

  • The magnetic fields are force fields that leaves the north poles and enters through the south.
  • The pole is where magnetic effects are the strongest.
  • It is around the pole that the strongest magnetic effect on a magnet or magnetic material is felt.
  • The strength of magnetic fields are strongest at the poles.
