Compounds containing potassium and oxygen

Chemistry
1 answer:
padilas [110]2 years ago
4 0

Answer: The law of proportion states that elements combine in whole number ratios. The gram readings for K are multiples of each other, both in grams and moles.

Let us compare the ratios:

2.44 grams/1.22 grams = 2

4.89 grams/2.44 grams = 2

Therefore, Potassium always combines with Oxygen in a ratio of 2  is to 1.

A 78.0 g sample of an unknown compound contains 12.4 g of hydrogen. what is the percent by mass of hydrogen in the compound?
AleksandrR [38]
Formula to find the percent composition of an element in a compound is \frac {MolarMassOfElement}{MolarMassOfCompound}*100.

Now enter the variables into the formula.

\frac {12.4}{78.0}*100 = 15.897%
Round to 3 significant figures. 15.897% = 15.9%

The answer is 15.9% H

How many moles (of molecules or formula units) are in each sample?
Alexus [3.1K]

The number of moles in each sample will be 0.391 moles, 30.7 moles, 0.456 moles, and 1350 moles

<h3>What is the number of moles?</h3>

The number of moles of a substance is the ratio of the mass of the substance to the molar mass.

In other words; mole = mass/molar mass.

Thus:

  • moles of 18.0 g NO_2 = 18.0/46

                                   = 0.391 moles

  • moles of 1.35 kg CO_2 = 1350/44

                                         = 30.7 moles

  • moles of 46.1 g KNO_3 = 46.1/101.1

                                          = 0.456 moles

  • moles of 191.8 kg Na_2SO_4 = 191800/142

                                                 = 1350 moles

Explain what is meant by the term "excited state" as it applies to an electron. Is an electron in an excited state higher or low
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Excited state of an electron is the state attained by an electron after it has absorbed energy and it moves further from the nucleus.

an electron is at higher energy when excited and at lower energy when at ground state.

an excited electron is less stable due to the decrease in the nuclear force of attraction and the grounded electron is more stable due to it's close distance to the nucleus.

How are electrons excited in element?
sineoko [7]

Answer:

By absorbing energy electron is jump into higher energy level. This is called excitation.

Explanation:

The electron is jumped into higher level and back into lower level by absorbing and releasing the energy.

The process is called excitation and de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.  For example if electron jumped from K to L it must absorbed the energy which is equal the energy difference of these two level. The excited electron thus move back to lower energy level which is K by releasing the energy.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum.
