A substance is an element if it consists of a single type of atom. A substance is a compound if it is made up of more than one element.

<h3>Elements and compounds</h3>

In chemistry, an element is defined as all pure substances consisting of the same atom. For example, magnesium and potassium metal are all elements because they consist of magnesium and potassium atoms only.

On the other hand, compounds are defined as substances consisting of 2 or more atoms of different elements. For example, sodium chloride consists of atoms of sodium and chlorine. Hence, it is considered to be a compound.

<u> There are more total ions in 2.2 moles of </u> $MgCl_2$

Ion, any atom or group of atoms that bears one or more positive or negative electrical charges. Positively charged ions are called cations; negatively charged ions, anions.

Ions are formed by the addition of electrons to, or the removal of electrons from, neutral atoms or molecules or other ions; by combination of ions with other particles; or by rupture of a covalent bond between two atoms in such a way that both of the electrons of the bond are left in association with one of the formerly bonded atoms.

Examples of these processes include the reaction of a sodium atom with a chlorine atom to form a sodium cation and a chloride anion; the addition of a hydrogen cation to an ammonia molecule to form an ammonium cation; and the dissociation of a water molecule to form a hydrogen cation and a hydroxide anion.

If 125g of KClO3 is heated, what is the total mass of the products?

Andrej [43]

Given parameters:

Mass of KClO₃ = 125g

Unknown:

Total mass of the products = ?

When KClO₃ is heated, it thermally decomposes to KCl and O₂ according to the chemical equation below;

2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂

All chemical equations obeys the law of conservation of matter and with this regard, we know that the amount of reactants used is the same as that of the product.

The total mass of the products must give us 125g according to this law of conservation of matter.

Now to find the masses of each product,

Find the number of moles of the given reactant:

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

molar mass of KClO₃ = 39 + 35.5 + 3(16) = 122.5g/mol

So number of moles of KClO₃ = $\frac{125}{122.5}$ = 1.02moles

2. Now, using this number of moles, find the number of moles of the products using this value;

2 moles of KClO₃ produced 2 moles of KCl

1.02 moles of KClO₃ will also produce 1.02moles of KCl

2 moles of KClO₃ produced 3 moles of O₂

1.02 moles of KClO₃ will produce $\frac{1.02 x 3} {2}$ mole = 1.53 moles of O₂

3. Now find the masses of each product;

Mass = number of moles x molar mass

molar mass of KCl = 39 + 35.5 = 74.5g/mol

molar mass of O₂ = 16 x 2 = 32g/mol

Mass of KCl = 74.5 x 1.02 = 75.99g

Mass of O₂ = 32 x 1.53 = 48.96g

Total mass of products = mass of KCl + Mass of O₂ = 75.99g + 48.96g

= 124.95g

This value is approximately the same as that of mass of KClO₃
