Potassium is not found free in nature but is found in the form of potash. Potash is the ore of potassium and this ore is mined from deep down the earth or can sometimes be found on the surface. Potash was mostly formed as sea water receded and left deposits.
Potash is usually in the form of potassium salts such potassium chloride and potassium sulphate. The potash is mined then taken to the factory where it is crushed and purified by removing such impurities as clay.
The now purified potassium salts are subjected to a process called electrolysis where potassium metal is obtained from its salt.
Answer:
Here's what I get
Explanation:
Assume the initial concentrations of H₂ and I₂ are 0.030 and 0.015 mol·L⁻¹, respectively.
We must calculate the initial concentration of HI.
1. We will need a chemical equation with concentrations, so let's gather all the information in one place.
H₂ + I₂ ⇌ 2HI
I/mol·L⁻¹: 0.30 0.15 x
2. Calculate the concentration of HI
![Q_{\text{c}} = \dfrac{\text{[HI]}^{2}} {\text{[H$_{2}$][I$_{2}$]}} =\dfrac{x^{2}}{0.30 \times 0.15} = 5.56\\\\x^{2} = 0.30 \times 0.15 \times 5.56 = 0.250\\x = \sqrt{0.250} = \textbf{0.50 mol/L}\\\text{The initial concentration of HI is $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.50 mol/L}}$}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Q_%7B%5Ctext%7Bc%7D%7D%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctext%7B%5BHI%5D%7D%5E%7B2%7D%7D%20%7B%5Ctext%7B%5BH%24_%7B2%7D%24%5D%5BI%24_%7B2%7D%24%5D%7D%7D%20%3D%5Cdfrac%7Bx%5E%7B2%7D%7D%7B0.30%20%5Ctimes%200.15%7D%20%3D%20%205.56%5C%5C%5C%5Cx%5E%7B2%7D%20%3D%200.30%20%5Ctimes%200.15%20%5Ctimes%205.56%20%3D%200.250%5C%5Cx%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%7B0.250%7D%20%3D%20%5Ctextbf%7B0.50%20mol%2FL%7D%5C%5C%5Ctext%7BThe%20initial%20concentration%20of%20HI%20is%20%24%5Clarge%20%5Cboxed%7B%5Ctextbf%7B0.50%20mol%2FL%7D%7D%24%7D)
3. Plot the initial points

Answer:
41 mL
Explanation:
Given data:
Milliliter of HCl required = ?
Molarity of HCl solution = 4.25 M
Mass of CaCO₃ = 8.75 g
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2HCl + CaCO₃ → CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O
Number of moles of CaCO₃:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 8.75 g / 100.1 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.087 g /mol
Now we will compare the moles of CaCO₃ with HCl.
CaCO₃ : HCl
1 : 2
0.087 : 2/1×0.087 = 0.174 mol
Volume of HCl:
Molarity = number of moles / volume in L
4.25 M = 0.174 mol / volume in L
Volume in L = 0.174 mol /4.25 M
Volume in L = 0.041 L
Volume in mL:
0.041 L×1000 mL/ 1L
41 mL
Answer:
A solution of acetic acid that is 60.0% HC₂H₃O₂ (by mass) indicates that it contains 60.0 g of acetic acid and 100.0 g of water.
Explanation:
A percentage is a way of expressing an amount as a fraction of 100. The mass percentage corresponds to physical units of the solutions and they allow to establish more precisely the concentration of the solutions and express them in terms of percentages.
Mass percentage indicates the amount in grams of solute per 100 grams of solution.
So a solution of acetic acid that is 60.0% HC₂H₃O₂ (by mass) indicates that it contains 60.0 g of acetic acid and 100.0 g of water.
