Fireworks owe their colors to reactions of combustion of the metals present. When Mg and Al burn, they emit a white bright light, whereas iron emits a gold light. Besides metals, oxygen is necesary for the combustion. The decomposition reactions of barium nitrate and potassium chlorate provide this element. At the same time, barium can burn emitting a green light.
(a) Barium nitrate is a <em>salt</em> formed by the <em>cation</em> barium Ba²⁺ and the <em>anion</em> nitrate NO₃⁻. Its formula is Ba(NO₃)₂. Potassium chlorate is a <em>salt</em> formed by the <em>cation</em> potassium K⁺ and the <em>anion</em> chlorate ClO₃⁻. Its formula is KClO₃.
(b) The balanced equation for the decomposition of potassium chloride is:
2KClO₃(s) ⇄ 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)
(c) The balanced equation for the decomposition of barium nitrate is:
Ba(NO₃)₂(s) ⇄ BaO(s) + N₂(g) + 3O₂(g)
(d) The balanced equations of metals with oxygen to form metal oxides are:
- 2 Mg(s) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2 MgO(s)
- 4 Al(s) + 3 O₂(g) ⇄ 2 Al₂O₃(s)
- 4 Fe(s) + 3 O₂(g) ⇄ 2 Fe₂O₃(s)
Explanation:
Deliquescent substances are solids that absorb moisture from the atmosphere until they dissolve in the absorbed water and form solutions. Efflorescent: Efflorescent substances are solids that can undergo spontaneous loss of water from hydrated salts.
Answer:
The standard enthalpy of formation of methanol is, -238.7 kJ/mole
Explanation:
The formation reaction of CH_3OH will be,

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,
..[1]
..[2]
..[3]
Now we will reverse the reaction 3, multiply reaction 2 by 2 then adding all the equations, Using Hess's law:
We get :
..[1]
..[2]
[3]
The expression for enthalpy of formation of
will be,



The standard enthalpy of formation of methanol is, -238.7 kJ/mole
<span>I think it is the barometer and aneroid barometer</span>
Answer:

Explanation:
Using the expression for the photoelectric effect as:

Also, 

Applying the equation as:

Where,
h is Plank's constant having value 
c is the speed of light having value 
is the wavelength of the light being bombarded
Given, 
is the binding energy or threshold energy
is the kinetic energy of the electron emitted. = 
Thus, applying values as:
