Potassium oxide (K₂O): ionic compound.

Reaction:

K₂O + H₂O →2KOH

KOH = strong base, pH>7

Answer:

Since KOH is a strong base, the solution completely ionizes into K+ and OH- when in water. The reaction KOH --> K+ + OH- takes place. The concentration of [ OH- ] can then be used to calculate the pOH of the solution. pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 1.48 = 12.52

Twenty molecules of tetrasulfur tetranitrogen contain how many atoms of sulfur?

viva [34]

The correct answer is 80 atoms of sulfur.

In order to answer this question we must firstly find the molecular formula of tetrasulfur tetranitrogen. The said molecule has the molecular formula of S4N4.
Therefore, each molecule of S4N4 contains four atoms of sulfur (S).
If one molecule of S4N4 contains 4 sulfur atoms, then twenty molecules contain
20 x 4= 80 atoms of sulfur.

Using the following reaction (depicted using molecular models), large quantities of ammonia are burned in the presence of a plat

Mila [183]

Answer:

17.65 grams of O2 are needed for a complete reaction.

Explanation:

You know the reaction:

4 NH₃ + 5 O₂ --------> 4 NO + 6 H₂O

First you must know the mass that reacts by stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction). For that you must first know the reacting mass of each compound. You know the values of the atomic mass of each element that form the compounds:

N: 14 g/mol
H: 1 g/mol
O: 16 g/mol

So, the molar mass of the compounds in the reaction is:

NH₃: 14 g/mol + 3*1 g/mol= 17 g/mol
O₂: 2*16 g/mol= 32 g/mol
NO: 14 g/mol + 16 g/mol= 30 g/mol
H₂O: 2*1 g/mol + 16 g/mol= 18 g/mol

By stoichiometry, they react and occur in moles:

NH₃: 4 moles
O₂: 5 moles
NO: 4 moles
H₂O: 6 moles

Then in mass, by stoichiomatry they react and occur:

NH₃: 4 moles*17 g/mol= 68 g
O₂: 5 moles*32 g/mol= 160 g
NO: 4 moles*30 g/mol= 120 g
H₂O: 6 moles*18 g/mol= 108 g

Now to calculate the necessary mass of O₂ for a complete reaction, the rule of three is applied as follows: if by stoichiometry 68 g of NH₃ react with 160 g of O₂, 7.5 g of NH₃ with how many grams of O₂ will it react?

$mass of O_{2} =\frac{7.5 g of NH_{3} * 160 g of O_{2} }{68 g of NH_{3} }$

mass of O₂≅17.65 g

17.65 grams of O2 are needed for a complete reaction.

You have 41.6 g of O2 gas in a container with twice the volume as one with CO2 gas in another container. The pressure and temper

prisoha [69]

Answer:

The mass of carbon dioxide is 28.6 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of O2 = 41.6 grams

Volume of the O2 container = 2V

Volume of the CO2 container = V

Pressure and temperature are the same

Step 2: Ideal gas law

The ideal gas law = p*V=nRT

For O2: p*2V = n(O2)*R*T

For CO2: p*V = n(CO2)*R*T

n(O2)*R*T / P*2V = n(CO2)*R*T / P*V

Since P, R and T are contstant, we can simplify this to:

n(O2)/2 = n(CO2)

Step 3: Calculate moles of O2

Moles O2 = mass O2/ Molar mass O2

Moles O2 = 41.6 grams / 32 g/mol

Moles O2 = 1.3 mol O2

The number of moles CO2 = 0.65 mol

Mass of CO2 = Moles CO2 * Molar Mass CO2

Mass of CO2 = 0.65 mol * 44.01 g/mol

Mass of CO2 = 28.6 grams

The mass of carbon dioxide is 28.6 grams

What is the effect of the following on the volume of 1 mol of an ideal gas? The temperature changes from 305 K to 32°C and the p

ryzh [129]

Answer:

The volume increases by 100%.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles ideal gas = 1 mol

Initial temperature = 305 K

Final temperature = 32°C + 273.15 = 305.15 K

Initial pressure = 2 atm

final pressure = 101 kPa = 0.996792 atm

R = gasconstant = doesn't change

V1 = initial volume

V2= the final volume

Step 2: Calculate volume of original gas

P*V = n*R*T

(P*V)/ T = constante

(P1 * V1) / T1 = (P2 * V2)/ T2

In this situation we have:

(2atm * V1)/ 305 = (0.996792 *V2) / 305.15

0.006557*V1 = 0.003266*V2

V2 = 2*V1

We see that the final volume is twice the initial volume. So the volume gets doubled. The volume increases by 100%.
