Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.108PAE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The best way to generate small amounts of oxygen gas in a laboratory setting is by the decomposition of potassium permanganate.
Suppose that you are carrying out an experiment for which you need exactly 2.00L of oxygen. Describe how you would determine the mass of potassium permanganate needed to obtain this amount. What would you have to measure in your experiment in addition to this mass?
Concept introduction:
From the reaction, we know that 2 moles of potassium permanganate produces 1 mole of oxygen

It can be assayed for (that is, the amount of it determined) by using a yeast enzyme. The enzyme makes the following reaction go to completion: HC3H3O3(aq)C2H4O(aq)+CO2(g) If a sample containing pyruvic acid gives 21.2 mL of carbon dioxide gas, CO2, at 349 mmHg and 30C, how many grams of pyruvic acid are there in the sample?arrow_forwardA student prepares phosphorous acid, H3PO3, by reacting solid phosphorus triiodide with water.

- 62 Ammonium dinitramide (ADN), NH4N(NO2)2, was considered as a possible replacement for aluminium chloride as the oxidizer in the solid fuel booster rockets used to launch the space shuttle. When detonated by a spark, AND rapidly decomposes to produce a gaseous mixture of N2,O2, and H2O. (This is not a combustion reaction. The ADN is the only reactant.) The reaction releases a lot of heat, so the gases are initially formed at high temperature and pressure. The thrust of the rocket results mainly from the expansion of this gas mixture. Suppose a 2.3-kg sample of ADN is denoted and decomposes completely to give N2,O2, and H2O. If the resulting gas mixture expands until it reaches a temperature of 100°C and a pressure of 1.00 atm, what volume will it occupy? Is your answer consistent with the proposed use of ADN as a rocket fuel?arrow_forwardAmmonia gas is synthesized by combining hydrogen and nitrogen: 3 H2(g) + N2(g) 2 NH3(g) (a) If you want to produce 562 g of NH3, what volume of H2 gas, at 56 C and 745 mm Hg, is required? (b) Nitrogen for this reaction will be obtained from air. What volume of air, measured at 29 C and 745 mm Hg pressure, will be required to provide the nitrogen needed to produce 562 g of NH3?

- You have a gas, one of the three known phosphorus-fluorine compounds (PF3, PF3, and P2F4). To find out which, you have decided to measure its molar mass. (a) First, yon determine that the density of the gas is 5.60 g/L at a pressure of 0.971 atm and a temperature of 18.2 C. Calculate the molar mass and identify the compound. (b) To check the results from part (a), you decide to measure the molar mass based on the relative rales of effusion of the unknown gas and CO2. You find that CO2 effuses at a rate of 0.050 mol/min, whereas the unknown phosphorus fluoride effuses at a rate of 0.028 mol/min. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown gas based on these results.arrow_forwardWhat volume (in liters) of O2, measured at standard temperature and pressure, is required to oxidize 0.400 mol of phosphorus (P4)?
