Answer:-

2328.454 grams

Explanation:-

Volume V = 18.4 litres

Temperature T = 15 C + 273 = 288 K

Pressure P = 1.5 x 10^ 3 KPa

We know universal Gas constant R = 8.314 L KPa K-1 mol-1

Using the relation PV = nRT

Number of moles of oxygen gas n = PV / RT

Plugging in the values

n = (1.5 x 10^3 KPa ) x ( 18.4 litres ) / ( 8.314 L KPa K-1 mol-1 x 288 K)

n = 11.527 mol

Now the balanced chemical equation for this reaction is

2KNO3 --> 2KNO2 + O2

From the equation we can see that

1 mol of O2 is produced from 2 mol of KNO3.

∴ 11.527 mol of O2 is produced from 2 x 11.527 mol of KNO3.

= 23.054 mol of KNO3

Molar mass of KNO3 = 39 x 1 + 14 x 1 + 16 x 3 = 101 grams / mol

Mass of KNO3 = 23.054 mol x 101 gram / mol

= 2328.454 grams

A bacteria culture begins with 15 bacteria which double in amount at the end of every hour. Solve for the number of bacteria tha
pshichka [43]
The number of bacteria is given by:
N(t) = N(o) x 2ⁿ
Where N(t) is the number after n hours have passed and N(o) is the original number which is 15.
The number grown in the 12th hour is the difference in the number after the 11th and the 12th hour. Thus:
15 x 2¹² - 15 x 2¹¹
= 30,720 bacteria
