Answer:

4777.09grams

Explanation:

To find the mass of oxygen, we first need to find the mass of potassium sulfate (K2SO4).

Since there are 4.50 x 10^25 formula units of potassium sulfate, we can find the number of moles in K2SO4 by dividing by Avagadros number (6.02 × 10^23 units). That is;

number of moles of K2SO4 (n) = 4.50 x 10^25 ÷ 6.02 × 10^23

= 0.747 × 10^ (25-23)

= 0.747 × 10^2

= 7.47 × 10^1 moles

Mass in grams of K2SO4 can be calculated thus: molar mass of K2SO4 × moles

= 174.252 g/mol × 7.47 × 10^1 moles

= 13016.62grams.

Since mass of oxygen in 1 mol of K2SO4 = O4 = 63.996 g/mol

We find the percentage by mass of oxygen in K2SO4 as follows:

= 63.996/174.252 × 100

= 0.367 × 100

= 36.7% by mass of oxygen.

This means that in 1gram of K2SO4, there are 0.367gram of Oxygen. Hence, in 13016.62grams (4.50 x 10^25 units) of K2SO4, there will be;

0.367 × 13016.62

= 4777.09grams of oxygen.

Find the element that makes plumbing pipes. is it a metal nonmetal or metalloid
evablogger [386]
Assuming the plumbing pipe is PVC, the answer would be nonmetal

PVC or polyvinyl chloride has a chemical formula of (C2H3Cl)n. From the element, we can see that the polyvinyl chloride is made from carbon, hydrogen, and chloride. There are no elements that belong to the metal group or metalloid group, so the plumbing pipe would be nonmetal.

1.What percent of light passes through the sample if its absorbance A=2?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

1. The formula for absorbance is given as:

A = log (Io / I)

where A is absorbance, Io is initial intensity, and I is final light intensity

 

log (Io / I) = A

log (Io / I) = 2

Io / I = 100

 

Taking the reverse which is I / Io:

 

I / Io = 1 / 100

I / Io = 0.01

 

Therefore this means that only 0.01 fraction of light or 1% passes through the sample.

 

2. What is meant by transmittance values is actually the value of I / Io. So calculating for A:

 

at 10% transmittance = 0.10

A = log (Io / I)

A = log (1 / 0.10)

A = 1

 

at 90% transmittance = 0.90

A = log (Io / I)

A = log (1 / 0.90)

A = 0.046

 

So the absorbance should be from 0.046 to 1

 

3. at 10% transmittance = 0.10

A = log (Io / I)

A = log (1 / 0.10)

<span>A = 1</span>
