Answer:

10 atm

Explanation:

There's a lot to do here, but lets take it one step at a time. First, let's write a balanced equation for the decomposition of potassium chlorate into potassium chloride and oxgyen gas.

2 KClO3 → 2 KCl + 3 O2

Now let's find the moles of the KClO3 (molar mass 122.55 g/mol) that we have take 10 g/122.55 g/mol, grams will cancel and we are left with 0.0816 moles. lets divide that by two since we have a two in front of the KClO3 in the equation, and then multiply that number by 5 since it's the total moles of products, in summary, multiply by 5/2 to get 0.204 moles.

Now that we know the moles of our products, let's plug some stuff into the ideal gas law PV = nRT. We are looking for P so let's solve for that. P = (nRT)/V, now let's plug in our values. Make sure V is converted to liters so 0.5 L. And convert celcius to kelvin by adding 273

P = ((0.204 moles)(318 K)(0.08206 L atm mol^-1 K^-1))/0.5 L

A lot of units cancel, and we get about 10.65 atm, if you don't want the answer in atm, you can find a conversion equation. But let's round to sig figs for now, which will bring us to 10 atm.

What would happen to the block if it had a density of 0.500 kg/L and was placed in the same 100.0 L tank of water?
raketka [301]
I’m not sure if there was important information in the question before this one, but the answer based on the info I have is B.

The density of water is 1kg/L. Since the density of the block is less, it will float.

How many electron are in 56fe 3
RSB [31]
The periodic table is arranged in a way so that with each step the number of protons in the nucleus is increased by 1. It makes it for an easy choice to designate elements with numbers - atomic numbers, because in that case atomic number shows the number of protons possessed by the nucleus. Like this:
H has 1 proton
He has 2 protons
Li has 3 protons
Be has 4 protons and so on

Each proton has a charge of +1. The other particle present in the nucleus - the neutron - has zero electrical charge and thus irrelevant when computing the charge of a nucleus. It is easy to deduce that the nucleus charge equals the number of protons (which in turn equals the atomic number). So the nucleus charges are:
for H it's+1
for He it's +2
for Li it's +3
for Be it's +4 and so on

Atom is an electroneutral particle by definition. It means it's summed charge must be 0. Since we've looked at everything within the nucleus (the protons and the neutrons) it's time we turn our gaze to the space around it, which is full of orbiting electrons. Each electron has a charge of -1. To make up for the positive charge in the nucleus you have to fill the space aroung the nucleus with negative electrons.Thanks to the elementary nature of both proton and electron charge, you simply have to take the same number of electrons as that of protons! Like this:
H has 1 proton and 1 electron
He has 2 protons and 2 electrons
Li has 3 protons and 3 electrons
Be has 4 protons and 4 electrons and so on

Fe has atomic number 26. It means that Fe has 26 protons and 26 electrons. If it's a neutral atom

You typed 3. Is it accidental? If so, then the answer is above. If not, then you could be trying to type 56Fe +3, which means an ionic iron with charge +3. Charges are formed when you have too many or too few electrons to counter-balance the prositive charge of the nucleus. Charge +3 means you're 3 electrons short to negate the nucleus positive charge.

In other words, Fe+3 has 26 protons and 23 electrons.
