The correct answer would be B nuclear fission because an atom is splitting into two large fragments of comparable mass
Explanation:
In order to be able to calculate the volume of oxygen gas produced by this reaction, you need to know the conditions for pressure and temperature.
Since no mention of those conditions was made, I'll assume that the reaction takes place at STP, Standard Temperature and Pressure.
STP conditions are defined as a pressure of
100 kPa
and a temperature of
0
∘
C
. Under these conditions for pressure and temperature, one mole of any ideal gas occupies
22.7 L
- this is known as the molar volume of a gas at STP.
So, in order to find the volume of oxygen gas at STP, you need to know how many moles of oxygen are produced by this reaction.
The balanced chemical equation for this decomposition reaction looks like this

Notice that you have a

This tells you that the reaction will always produce

times more moles of oxygen gas than the number of moles of potassium chlorate that underwent decomposition.

Answer:
13.4mol of Mg
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of magnesium = 321g
Unknown:
Number of moles = ?
Solution:
The number of moles of a substance is given as;
Number of moles = 
Molar mass of Mg = 24g/mol
Insert the parameters and solve;
Number of moles = 
= 13.4mol of Mg
If the question includes x only than it’s value would be 1
Answer:
% = 76.75%
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we just need to use the expressions of half life and it's relation with the concentration or mass of a compound. That expression is the following:
A = A₀ e^(-kt) (1)
Where:
A and A₀: concentrations or mass of the compounds, (final and initial)
k: constant decay of the compound
t: given time
Now to get the value of k, we should use the following expression:
k = ln2 / t₁/₂ (2)
You should note that this expression is valid when the reaction is of order 1 or first order. In this kind of exercises, we can assume it's a first order because we are not using the isotope for a reaction.
Now, let's calculate k:
k = ln2 / 956.3
k = 7.25x10⁻⁴ d⁻¹
With this value, we just replace it in (1) to get the final mass of the isotope. The given time is 1 year or 365 days so:
A = 250 e^(-7.25x10⁻⁴ * 365)
A = 250 e^(-0.7675)
A = 191.87 g
However, the question is the percentage left after 1 year so:
% = (191.87 / 250) * 100
<h2>
% = 76.75%</h2><h2>
And this is the % of isotope after 1 year</h2>
