How can I balance this equation? KClO3 ---> KCl + O2

1 answer:

8 0

__ KClO₃ → __ KCl + __ O₂

Left Side:
1 K
1 Cl
3 O

Right Side:
1 K
1 Cl
2 O

Since the least common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6, we need to multiply the compound with 2 oxygen by 3 and the compound with 3 oxygen by 2.

This gives us 2KClO₃ → __ KCl + 3O₂.

However, this equation is still not balanced.

Left Side:
2 K
2 Cl
6 O

Right Side:
1 K
1 Cl
6 O

In order to balance the K and Cl, we need to multiply the KCl compound on the right side by 2.

2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂

Describe how you could prove that a bicycle is matter

Ainat [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Matter is anything that has weight and occupies space.

To prove that a bicycle is a matter, we need to show that it has weight and will occupy space.

When you put the bicycle on a weighing scale, you will see the weight of the bicycle. This a proof that bicycle is a matter.

To show that the bicycle can occupy space, place the device in a tank full of water. From the tank, the bicycle will displace some water. Substances that cannot occupy space will not behave in such manner.

At 1 atm of pressure and a temperature of 0 degrees celsius, which phases of H2O can exist?

NemiM [27]

B, because water is changing its state from solid to liquid (it's fusion in portuguese, don't know in english), so while it's changing, water has 2 states at the same time.

Calculate the pH of: (a) 0.1M HCl; (b) 0.1M NaOH; (c) 3 X 10% M HNO3; (d) 5 X 10-10 M HCIO.; and (e) 2 x 10-8 M KOH.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

(a) $pH = -Log (0.1M) = 1$

(b) $pH = -Log (10^{-13}M) = 13$

(d) $pH = -Log (4.93x10^{-10}M) = 9.3$

(e) $pH = -Log (5^{-7}M) = 6.3$

Explanation:

To calculate de pH of an acid solution the formula is:

$pH = -Log ([H^{+}]) = 1$

were [H^{+}] is the concentration of protons of the solution. Therefore it is necessary to know the concentration of the protons for every solution in order to solve the problem.

(a) and (c) are strong acids so they dissociate completely in aqueous solution. Thus, the concentration of the acid is the same as the protons.

(b) and (e) are strong bases so they dissociate completely in aqueous solution too. Thus, the concentration of the base is the same as the oxydriles. But in this case it is necessary to consider the water autoionization to calculate the protons concentration:

$K_{w} =[H^{+} ][OH^{-}]=10^{-14}$
