Compounds containing potassium and oxygen

1 answer:

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.

Whats the difference between covalent and ionic bonds

il63 [147K]

Answer: The two main types of chemical bonds are ionic and covalent bonds. An ionic bond essentially donates an electron to the other atom participating in the bond, while electrons in a covalent bond are shared equally between the atoms. The only pure covalent bonds occur between identical atoms.Jan 23, 2020

Combustion of hydrocarbons such as undecane (C_11H_24) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Eart

Answer:

Volume of carbon dioxide is 428.23 L.

Explanation:

Below is the chemical reaction or chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbons such as undecane into carbon dioxide.

$C_{11}H_{24}(l) + 17O_{2}(g) \to 11CO_{2} (g) + 12H_2O(g)$

Here, undecane is in liquid form that reacts with gaseous oxygen (combustion) and produces carbon dioxide and water as a product in the gaseous form.

The molar mass of undecane = $156.31 g/mol.$

$\text{Number of moles} = \frac{260g}{156.31g/mol} = 1.66 \ mol.$

From the equation, it can be seen that 1 mole of undecane produces 11 moles of carbon dioxide. Therefore, 1.66 mol will produce 18.26 mol of carbon dioxide.

Now find the volume of 18.26 mol of carbon dioxide when the temperature is 13 degrees Celsius and pressure is 1 atm.

$V = \frac{nRT}{P} \\$
