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

Students working in lab accidentally spilled 17 l of 3.0 m h2so4 solution. they find a large container of acid neutralizer that
bogdanovich [222]

Answer is: 8568.71 of baking soda.

Balanced chemical reaction: H₂SO₄ + 2NaHCO₃ → Na₂SO₄ + 2CO₂ + 2H₂O.

V(H₂SO₄) = 17 L; volume of the sulfuric acid.

c(H₂SO₄) = 3.0 M, molarity of sulfuric acid.

n(H₂SO₄) = V(H₂SO₄) · c(H₂SO₄).

n(H₂SO₄) = 17 L · 3 mol/L.

n(H₂SO₄) = 51 mol; amount of sulfuric acid.

From balanced chemical reaction: n(H₂SO₄) : n(NaHCO₃) = 1 :2.

n(NaHCO₃) = 2 · 51 mol.

n(NaHCO₃) = 102 mol, amount of baking soda.

m(NaHCO₃) = n(NaHCO₃) · M(NaHCO₃).

m(NaHCO₃) = 102 mol · 84.007 g/mol.

m(NaHCO₃) = 8568.714 g; mass of baking soda.

Why does silver iodide have a higher melting point than vanillin
MAVERICK [17]
AgI has a higher melting point than vanillin because it is an ionic compound. The bonds are held more tightly together than in vanillin because it is a covalent compound. Ionic bonds have a higher melting point because the electrons are being transferred from one atom to the other.

What is the concentration of a solution made with 0.150 moles of KOH in 400.0 mL of solution?
otez555 [7]

Answer:

concentration = \frac{0.15}{0.4}=0.375 mol/L

Explanation:

Concentration: i is defined as the mole per litre.

concentration = \frac{mole}{volume in L}

mole=0.15

volume=400 ml=0.4 litre

concentration = \frac{0.15}{0.4}=0.375 mol/L

The interior of a refrigerator has a volume of 0.600 m3. the temperature inside the refrigerator in 282 k, and the pressure is 1
Dafna11 [192]
In this instance we can use the ideal gas law equation to find the number of moles of gas inside the refrigerator 
PV = nRT
where 
P - pressure - 101 000 Pa
V - volume - 0.600 m³
n - number of moles
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 J/mol.K
T - temperature - 282 K
substituting these values in the equation 
101 000 Pa x 0.600 m³ = n x  8.314 J/mol.K x 282 K
n = 25.8 mol
there are 25.8 mol of the gas
to find the mass of gas
mass of gas = number of moles x molar mass of gas
mass = 25.8 mol x 29 g/mol  = 748.2 g
mass of gas present is 748.2 g

Express the quantity 556.2 x 10^-12 in each units<br> A.) ms<br> B.) ns<br> C.) ps<br> D.) fs
zavuch27 [327]
The answer:
we should know the meaning of each abbreviation:
ms means  millisecond, its value is 10^-3 s 
ns means  means  nanosecond,   its value is 10^-9 s
ps means  picosecond, its value is 10^-12 s
fs means  femtosecond, its value is 1x 10^15 s

<span>Expressions of the quantity 556.2 x 10^-12 are</span>
556.2 x 10^-12 =556.2 ps
556.2 x 10^-12 =556.2 x 10^-9 x 10^-3= 556.2 x 10^-9 ms
556.2 x 10^-12 = 556.2 x 10^-3 x 10^-9 = 556.2 x 10^-3 ns
556.2 x 10^-12 = 556.2 x 10^- 27 x 10^15 = 556.2 x 10^- 27 fs
