The equation that is a decomposition reaction is

PbCO3(s) ---> PbO(s) + CO2(g)

That is option D.

<h3>Properties of a decomposition reaction</h3>

A chemical reaction is defined as the combination of substances called reactants to form a product. The various types of chemical reaction include:

synthesis reaction

combustion reaction

decomposition reaction

single or double replacement reaction

Decomposition reaction is that type of chemical reaction in which the reactant breaks down to form two or more products.

Therefore the heating of lead (II) carbonate is a decomposition reaction.

12.00 moles of naclo3 will produce how many grams of O2? (Moles to Grams)

Sergeu [11.5K]

2NaClO₃ → 2NaCl + 3O₂

mole ratio of NaClO₃ to O₂ is 2 : 3

∴ if moles of NaClO₃ = 12 mol

then moles of O₂ = $\frac{12 mol * 3}{2}$

= 18 mol

Mass of O₂ = mol of O₂ × molar mass of O₂

= 18 mol × 16 g/mol

= 288 g

So I wasn't sure which equation to use since you did not specify so I just used the decomposition reaction. If you should have used another reaction then just follow the same steps and you'll get your answer.

How does electron repulsion in the outer shell cause anions to be larger than their atoms?

Alexeev081 [22]

The anion is also larger than the atom because of electron-electron repulsion. As more electrons are added to the outer shell, and even to higher principle energy levels, the repulsion bewteen the negatively charged particles grows, pushing the shells farther from the nucleus.

Britney added 0.05 moles of copper(II) nitrate solution to 0.1 moles of sodium hydroxide solution and

Rama09 [41]

The percent yield of copper hydroxide is 84%

<h3>Stoichiometry</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the percent yield of copper hydroxide

First, we will determine the theoretical mass

From the given balanced chemical equation, we have

Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NaOH -- Cu(OH)₂ + 2NaNO₃

This means,

1 mole of copper(II) nitrate reacts with 2 moles of sodium hydroxide to produce 1 mole of copper hydroxide

Therefore,
0.05 mole of copper(II) nitrate reacts with 0.1 mole of sodium hydroxide to produce 0.05 mole of copper hydroxide

The theoretical number of moles of copper hydroxide that is produced is 0.05 mole

Now, for the theoretical mass

Using the formula,

Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of copper hydroxide = 97.56 g/mol

Then,

Theoretical mass = 0.05 × 97.56

Theoretical mass of copper of hydroxide produced is = 4.878 g

Now, for the percent yield of copper hydroxide

Percent yield is given by the formula,

$Percent\ yield = \frac{Actual\ yield}{Theoretical\ yield} \times 100\%$

Then,

$Percent\ yield\ of\ copper\ hydroxide= \frac{4.1}{4.878}\times 100\%$

$Percent\ yield\ of\ copper\ hydroxide= 84\%$

Hence, the percent yield of copper hydroxide is 84%.

Of the molecules below, the bond in __________ is the most polar. hbr hi hcl hf

Black_prince [1.1K]

There's a trend in electronegativity. The bottom left of periodic table is the lowest (0.7) and the upper right is the highest (4.0). The most polar is the greatest difference in electronegavity. hbr- 1~ , hi- 0.5~ ,hcl - 1.3~ , hf-1.8 so,hf is the answer
