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.

how does atomic radius change as you move down a group/family and as you move across a period/row on the periodic table? what ca
Juliette [100K]
When going down a group the no of orbits increases. That is n value increases (n=principle quantum number). When the number of atomic orbitals increases, the radius gradually increases. (going down the group means the number of obits that electrons can fill will increase)

And the atomic radius from left to right in the periodic table actually DECREASES. That is due to increase in electronegetivity to the right side of the periodic table.

julia-pushkina [17]

here can be a number of chemical processes by which a compounds can be broken down into simpler substances. The most common and wide-spread of such processes is Catabolism. Along with anabolism, catabolism make up the metabolism process for living organisms. In catabolism, complex chemical molecules (such as proteins, polysaccharides, etc.) are broken down into simpler molecules (such as amino acids, monosaccharides, etc.). This is often accompanied by release of energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules and intermediate metabolites (which can be used by the organism in the anabolic processes). The energy thus generated is used for operation and maintenance of cells (and consequently, the body).  

Other processes that break down chemical substances into simpler substances, include depolymerization, decomposition, etc.

Hope this helps.

Describe the makeup of Earth’s atmosphere. How do solids get into the air?​
Alex17521 [72]
Earth's atmosphere is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.9% argon, and 0.03% carbon dioxide with very small percentages of other elements. Our atmosphere also contains water vapor. In addition, Earth's atmosphere contains traces of dust particles, pollen, plant grains and other solid particles.

whg doe sthe transfer of electrons from magnesium to oxygen cause the ions produced to attract eachother
almond37 [142]
Oxygen gains two electrons when it bonds to form a complete outer shell and magnesium loses two electrons when bonding to gain its full outer shell. 

As electrons are negative, the oxygen (which gains electrons) will become negative and the magnesium (which loses electrons) will become positive.

The negative and positive ions will then attract to one another due to the magnetic pull of the positive and negative.
