Answer:

Yes, the chemist can determine which compound is in the sample.

Explanation:

In 1 mole of K₂O, the mass of K is 2 × 39.1 g = 78.2 g and the mass of K₂O is 94.2 g. The mass ratio of K to K₂O is 78.2 g / 94.2 g = 0.830.

In 1 mole of K₂O₂, the mass of K is 2 × 39.1 g = 78.2 g and the mass of K₂O₂ is 110.2 g. The mass ratio of K to K₂O₂ is 78.2 g / 110.2 g = 0.710.

If the chemist knows the mass of K and the mass of the sample, he or she must calculate the mass ratio of K to the sample.

  • If the ratio is 0.830, the compound is pure K₂O.
  • If the ratio is 0.710, the compound is pure K₂O₂.
  • If the ratio is not 0.830 or 0.710, the sample is a mixture.

PLEASE HELP!!! The image represents the reaction between a certain number of molecules of N2 and H2.

Answer:

  • <u><em>The leftover reactant is the nitrogen gas, N₂.</em></u>

Explanation:

As per your description:

<u>1. Square on the left: N₂(g)</u>

  • 3 units of two joint circles: this represents 3 molecules of nitrogen gas, N₂(g).

<u>2. Square on the right: H₂(g)</u>

  • 3 units of two joint circles: this represents 3 molecules of hydrogen gas, H₂(g).

<u>3. Reaction</u>

If the maximum possible amount of NH₃ is formed during the reaction, you assume that the reaction goes to completion.

The chemical equation that represents the reaction is:

  • N₂(g) +  H₂(g) → NH₃(g)

Which must be balanced:

  • N₂(g) +  3H₂(g) → 2NH₃(g)

That means that 1 molecule (or 1 mol) of N₂(g) reacts with 3 molecules (or 3 moles ) of  H₂(g) to produce 2 molecules (or 2 moles) of NH₃(g).

Since, the squares show that there are 3 molecules of each reactant, the 3 molecules of hydrogen gas will be able to react with 1 molecule of nitrogen gas. When that happens, all the hydrogen gas is consumend and yet two molecules of nitrogen gas will remain unreacted. Hence, the nitrogen gas is the leftover reactant.

What is the 2s in 42,256
MissTica

42,256 = 2,000

42,256 = 200

together they'd be 2,200 (if that's what you needed as well)

Suppose there is a gaseous mixture of nitrogen and oxygen. If the total pressure of the mixture is 470 mmHg , and the partial pr
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

190 mmHg

Explanation:

According to Dalton's law, in a mixture of ideal gases, each gas behaves independently of the other. Also, the total pressure is equal to the sum of the individual partial pressures.

The total pressure of the mixture is 470 mmHg , and the partial pressure of nitrogen is 280 mmHg. Then,

P = pO₂ + pN₂

pO₂ = P - pN₂

pO₂ = 470 mmHg - 280 mmHg

pO₂ = 190 mmHg
