Fission is a term that means when a large atom breaks into smaller atoms. It’s counterpart, Fusion, is the opposite, where small atoms fuse into larger atoms.

how many grams of potassium chloride, KCL(molar mass is 74.55g/mol) are produced if 25 grams of potassium chlorate KClo^3 decomp
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

                     Mass = 15.20 g of KCl

Explanation:

                    The balance chemical equation for the decomposition of KClO₃ is as follow;

                                            2 KClO₃ = 2 KCl + 3 O₂

Step 1: Calculate moles of KClO₃ as;

Moles = Mass / M/Mass

Moles = 25.0 g / 122.55 g/mol

Moles = 0.204 moles

Step 2: Find moles of KCl as;

According to equation,

                  2 moles of KClO₃ produces  =  2 moles of KCl

So,

               0.204 moles of KClO₃ will produce  =  X moles of KCl

Solving for X,

                       X = 2 mol × 0.204 mol / 2 mol

                       X = 0.204 mol of KCl

Step 3: Calculate mass of KCl as,

Mass = Moles × M.Mass

Mass = 0.204 mol × 74.55 g/mol

Mass = 15.20 g of KCl

Which of the following atoms would be expected to be diamagnetic in the ground state?
Rufina [12.5K]

The atoms that would be expected to be diamagnetic in the ground state is  magnesium

The magnetism of an atom refers to its electronic configuration. A diamagnetic atom is an atom whose electrons are all paired.

A paired electron is an electron that occurs in pairs in its orbital shell.

At their respective ground state, the electronic configuration of the given elements are as follows:

The electronic configuration of magnesium is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s².  As such its a diamagnetic atom.

The electronic configuration of Potassium is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹. Hence, Potassium has one unpaired electron in its outermost shell.

The electronic configuration of Chlorine is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁵. Hence, Chlorine has one unpaired electron in its outermost shell.

The electronic configuration of Cobalt is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d⁷4s². Hence, the unpaired electrons of Cobalt in its outermost shell are three.

Therefore, the atoms that are diamagnetic in the ground state is magnesium.

(ii) Describe another method for making ethanol.​
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

There are essentially three methods used to produce ethanol:

Manufacture from ethene using steam (the "synthetic" route)

Production from sugars and starches by fermentation, using yeasts.

Production from biomass waste, using bacteria.

When an electron drops from a higher energy level to a lower one, energy is emitted. in comparison, how much energy is required
NNADVOKAT [17]

Energy is released when an electron transitions from one energy level to another. In contrast, the same amount of energy is needed to carry out the process, the other way around, from the bottom elevation to the upper one.

What occurs when an electron transitions from one energy level to another?

  • The energy of the electron drops when it changes levels, and the atom releases photons. The electron emits a photon when it transitions from a greater to a lower energy level. The energy emitted is precisely the energy that is lost when an electron moves to a level with less energy.
  • An atom's electrons have negative energy. The electron must be given energy in order to be removed from the hydrogen atom, as shown by the negative sign. The quantity of energy in the atom will rise by supplying the electron with energy. Similar to how a ball on Earth chooses to rest in valleys rather than hills, the electron wants to spend the majority of its time at a lower energy level.
  • For a brief period of time, the electron remains in an excited state. The energy required to bring the electron to its lower-energy state will be released when the electron transitions between excited and unexcited states.
