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

127) Thirty-six colonies grew in nutrient agar from 1.0 ml of undiluted sample in a standard plate count. How many cells were in
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

36

Explanation:

Since the sample was undiluted the number of colonies is the number that grew on the nutrient agar which is 36 colonies. If it was diluted for example let say 0.1 ml from a dilution in which 1 ml of the sample was added to 9 ml of water, and it grew  colonies then  0.1 ml  yielded  6 colonies, 1 ml of the diluted sample will yield 60 colonies and 10 ml will have 600 colonies and therefore the 1 ml undiluted sample will have 600 colonies.

Use the following half-reactions to design a voltaic cell: Sn4+(aq) + 2 e− → Sn2+(aq) Eo = 0.15 V Ag+(aq) + e−→ Ag(s) Eo = 0.80
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

E° = 0.65 V

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reductions and their respective standard reduction potentials.

Sn⁴⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ → Sn²⁺(aq) E°red = 0.15 V

Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ → Ag(s) E°red = 0.80 V

The reaction with the highest reduction potential will occur as a reduction while the other will occur as an oxidation. The corresponding half-reactions are:

Reduction (cathode): Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ → Ag(s) E°red = 0.80 V

Oxidation (anode): Sn²⁺(aq) → Sn⁴⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ E°red = 0.15 V

The overall cell potential (E°) is the difference between the standard reduction potential of the cathode and the standard reduction potential of the anode.

E° = E°red, cat - E°red, an = 0.80 V - 0.15 V = 0.65 V

How many pints of a 30% sugar solution must be added to a 5 pint of a 5% sugar solution to obtain a 20% sugar solution?
ser-zykov [4K]

You must add 7.5 pt of the 30 % sugar to the 5 % sugar to get a 20 % solution.

You can use a modified dilution formula to calculate the volume of 30 % sugar.

<em>V</em>_1×<em>C</em>_1 + <em>V</em>_2×<em>C</em>_2 = <em>V</em>_3×<em>C</em>_3

Let the volume of 30 % sugar = <em>x</em> pt. Then the volume of the final 20 % sugar = (5 + <em>x</em> ) pt

(<em>x</em> pt×30 % sugar) + (5 pt×5 % sugar) = (<em>x</em> + 5) pt × 20 % sugar

30<em>x</em> + 25 = 20x + 100

10<em>x</em> = 75

<em>x</em> = 75/10 = 7.5
