The chemical reaction is expressed as:
<span> 4KO2+2CO2→2K2CO3+3O2
</span>
We are given the amount of KO2 to be used in the reaction. This will be the starting point of our calculations. We do as follows:
0.425 mol KO2 ( 3 mol O2 / 4 mol KO2 ) = 0.319 mol O2 produced
Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
Ferns use both sexual and asexual reproduction methods. In sexual reproduction, a haploid spore grows into a haploid gametophyte. ... The sporophyte produces spores, completing the life cycle. Asexual methods of reproduction include apogamy, poliferous frond tips, and rhizome spreading.
The answer is 60.3% magnesium, 39.7% oxygen.
Solution:
The chemical equation for the reaction is 2 Mg + O2 → 2 MgO.
Since magnesium reacts completely with oxygen, it is the limiting reactant in the reaction. Hence, we can use the number of moles of magnesium to get the mass of MgO produced:
moles of magnesium = 14.7g / 24.305g mol-1
= 0.6048 mol
mass of MgO = 0.6048mol Mg(2 mol MgO/2mol Mg)(40.3044g MgO/1 mol MgO)
= 24.376g MgO
We can now solve for the percentage of magnesium:
% Mg = (14.7g Mg / 24.376g MgO)*100% = 60.3%
We also use the number of moles of magnesium to get the mass of oxygen consumed in the reaction:
mass of O2 = 0.6048 mol Mg (1mol O2 / 2mol Mg) (31.998g / 1mol O2)
= 9.676g
The percentage of oxygen is therefore
% O2 = (9.676g O2 / 24.376g MgO)*100%
= 39.7%
Notice that we can just subtract the magnesium's percentage from 100% to get
% O2 = 100% - 60.3% = 39.7%
The answer is 200 for sure!!!!!
