What is the mass percentage of potassium in KMnOâ‚„? (Atomic masses: K = 39, Mn = 55, O = 16)

Given: What is the mass percentage of potassium in KMnO₄? (Atomic masses: K = 39, Mn = 55, O = 16) These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: Molar mass = 39 + 55 + (4 × 16) = 39 + 55 + 64 = 158 g/mol. This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon. Substitution & Calculation: Mass of K = 39 g. % K = (39 / 158) × 100 ≈ 24.68%. Result: The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, m/s², 10⁻⁵ are properly used as per NCERT.

What is the number of unpaired electrons in [Cr(Hâ‚‚O)6]^{3+ ?

Given: What is the number of unpaired electrons in [Cr(H₂O)6]^{3+ ? These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: Cr³⁺ ( d³ ) with H₂O in an octahedral field has 3 unpaired electrons ( t_{2g³ ), as it’s a d³ system.. This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon. Substitution & Calculation: Substituting values like 1.2 × 10⁻⁵, 236 J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, CH₃CH₂NH₂ etc. into the formula and simplifying step by step. Result: The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, m/s², 10⁻⁵ are properly used as per NCERT.

What is the mass percentage of oxygen in K₂Cr₂O₇? (Atomic masses: K = 39, Cr = 52, O = 16)

Given: What is the mass percentage of oxygen in K₂Cr₂O₇? (Atomic masses: K = 39, Cr = 52, O = 16) These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: Molar mass = (2 × 39) + (2 × 52) + (7 × 16) = 78 + 104 + 112 = 294 g/mol. This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon. Substitution & Calculation: Mass of O = 112 g. % O = (112 / 294) × 100 ≈ 38.1%. Result: The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, m/s², 10⁻⁵ are properly used as per NCERT.
