A company manufacturing KMnO4 wants to obtain the highest yield possible. Two of their research scientists are working on a tech

nique to increase the yield.
Both scientists started with 50.0 g of manganese oxide.

What is the theoretical yield of potassium permanganate when starting with 50.0 g MnO2?

The equation for the production of potassium permanganate is as follows:

2 MnO2 + 4 KOH + O2 → 2 KMnO4 + 2 KOH + H2

Answer:

The theoretical yield potassium permanganate, KMnO₄ when starting with 50.0 g MnO₂ is 90.8 g

Explanation:

Molar mass of MnO₂ = (55 + 2 × 16) = 87.0 g/mol

Molar mass of KMnO₄ = (39 + 55 + 4 × 16) = 158 g/mol

Moles of MnO₂ in 50 g = reacting mass / molar mass

where reacting mass = 50 g

Moles of MnO₂ in 50 g = 50 g /87 g/mol = 0.575 moles

The equation for the production of potassium permanganate is as follows:

2 MnO2 + 4 KOH + O2 → 2 KMnO4 + 2 KOH + H2

From the equation of the reaction above, 2 moles of MnO₂ produces 2 moles of KmNO₄. The mole ratio of MnO₂ to KMnO₄ is 1 : 1

Therefore, 0.575 moles of MnO₂ will produce theoretically 0.575 moles of KMnO₄

Mass of 0.575 moles of KMnO₄ = number of moles × molar mass

Mass of 0.575 moles of KMnO₄ = 0.575 moles × 158 g/mol = 90.8 g of KMnO₄

Therefore, the theoretical yield potassium permanganate when starting with 50.0 g MnO₂ is 90.8 g

Dalton's law of partial pressures states that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressures exert
Damm [24]

Answer: The given statement is true.

Explanation:

According to the Dalton's law, total pressure of a mixture of gases that do not react with each other is equal to the partial pressure exerted by each gas.

The relationship is as follows.

          p_{total} = \sum_{i=1}^{n} p_{i}

or,        p_{total} = p_{1} + p_{2} + p_{3} + p_{4} + ......... + p_{n}

where,  p_{1}, p_{2}, p_{3} ....... = partial pressure of individual gases present in the mixture

Also, relation between partial pressure and mole fraction is as follows.

                 p_{i} = p_{total} \times x_{i}

where,      x_{i} = mole fraction

Thus, we can conclude that the statement Dalton's law of partial pressures states that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressures exerted independently by each gas in the mixture, is true.

What is the number of grams of an element that is numerically equal to the atomic mass in amu?
bagirrra123 [75]
The wording of your question doesn't quite make sense, but a mole of an element has the same mass in grams as a single atom of that element has in amu. The mole is defined as 6.02 x10^22 things, whether they be atoms or molecules or even moles! 6.02x10^22 atoms of carbon has a mass of 12.01 g, and a single atom of carbon has a mass of 12.01 amu. Hope this helps!

Calculate in gramm the mass of 0.1 mole of hydrochloric acid(h=1 ,cl=35.5)​
babunello [35]

Answer:

mass of HCl = 3.65 g

Explanation:

Data Given:

Moles of hydrochloric acid HCl = 0.1 mole

Mass in grams of hydrochloric acid HCl = ?

Solution:

Mole Formula

                  no. of moles = Mass in grams / molar mass

To find Mass in grams rearrange the above Formula

                Mass in grams = no. of moles x molar mass . . . . . . . (1)

Molar mass of HCl = 1 + 35.5 = 36.5 g/mol

Put values in equation 1

              Mass in grams = 0.1 mole x 36.5 g/mol

              Mass in grams = 3.65 g

mass of HCl = 3.65 g
