First we need to find the number of moles of both K and O reacted
K - 0.779 g / 39 g/mol
  = 0.02 mol
the mass of O₂ reacted = 1.417 g - 0.779 g = 0.638 g
O₂ moles = 0.638 g / 32 g/mol
               = 0.02 mol 
the number of both K and O₂ moles reacted are equal 
therefore stoichiometry of K to O₂ reacted are 1:1 
then the formula of potassium superoxide is KO₂

A 50-gram sample has a half-life of 12 days. How much material will remain after 12 days?
Elis [28]
<span>A 50-gram sample with a half-life of 12 days will have a remaining mass of 25 grams after its 12-day half-life. Every cycle of a half-life, the sample will lose half of its mass, so if the half-life, itself, is 12 days and the time period passing is 12 days, one half-life has passed and the material will be halved.</span>

What is the best description of what has happened to flowers when they change color as they mature?
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The answer is (A)

Explanation:

When the weather changes, nature also changes because most plants rely on photosynthesis and if they don't get as much light then they can't support as much as they used causing them to shut down parts of the plant.

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Option D: More than 30 seconds

Explanation:

The enzyme CATALASE is found in almost all living organisms. CATALASE helps in the decomposition of one substance into another substance. CATALASE will breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

When the potatoes were boiled it will surely produce no bubbles because the heat would have degrade the enzyme - catalase While the potatoes at room temperature potato produced the most bubbles because catalase works best at a room temperature.

If the potato solution was boiled for 10 minutes and cooled for 10 minutes before being tested, the average time for the disks to float to the surface of the hydrogen peroxide solution would be MORE THAN 30 SECONDS
