Answer:

12.9 g O₂

Explanation:

To find the mass of oxygen gas produced, you need to (1) convert grams KClO₃ to moles KClO₃ (via molar mass from periodic table values), then (2) convert moles KClO₃ to moles O₂ (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles O₂ to grams O₂ (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the conversions/ratios in a way that allows for the cancellation of units (the desired unit should be in the numerator). The final answer should have 3 sig figs to match the given value (33.0 g).

Molar Mass (KClO₃): 39.098 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol + 3(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (KClO₃): 122.542 g/mol

2 KClO₃ ---> 2 KCl + 3 O₂

Molar Mass (O₂): 2(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (O₂): 31.996 g/mol

33.0 g KClO₃ 1 mole 3 moles O₂ 31.996 g
-------------------- x ------------------- x ----------------------- x ------------------ =
122.542 g 2 moles KClO₃ 1 mole

= 12.9 g O₂

Ksju [112]

Answer: Odor of ammonia would we detect first on the other side of the room.

Explanation:

To calculate the rate of diffusion of gas, we use Graham's Law.

This law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows:

$\text{Rate of diffusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}$

$\frac{Rate_{H_2S}}{Rate_{NH_3}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{NH_3}}{M_{H_2S}}}$

$\frac{Rate_{H_2S}}{Rate_{NH_3}}=\sqrt{\frac{17.031}{34.1}}$

$\frac{Rate_{H_2S}}{Rate_{NH_3}}=0.71$

Thus the odor of ammonia would we detect first on the other side of the room as the rate of effusion of ammonia would be faster as it has low molecular weight as compared to hydrogen sulphide.

Explain the process of filtration and crystallization

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Filtration, the process in which solid particles in a liquid or gaseous fluid are removed by the use of a filter medium that permits the fluid to pass through but retains the solid particles. Either the clarified fluid or the solid particles removed from the fluid may be the desired product.

Crystallization, or crystallisation, is the process of atoms or molecules arranging into a well-defined, rigid crystal lattice in order to minimize their energetic state. The smallest entity of crystal lattice is called a unit cell, which can accept atoms or molecules to grow a macroscopic

crystal.
