7 0

The answer is: a relatively large electron cloud.

Atom is composed of the nucleus and the electron cloud.

Protons (positive particles) and neutrons (neutral particles) are in the nucleus of an atom and electrons (negative particles) are in the electron cloud.

Nucleus is in the centar of the atom atom and electron cloud is surrounding it.

Atoms have their mass concentrated in a very small nucleus.

If the sample contained 2.0 moles of KClO3 at a temperature of 214.0 °C, determine the mass of the oxygen gas produced in grams
Westkost [7]

Answer : The mass of the oxygen gas produced in grams and the pressure exerted by the gas against the container walls is, 96 grams and 1.78 atm respectively.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of KCl_3 = 2.0 moles

Molar mass of O_2 = 32 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the moles of MgO

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2KClO_3\rightarrow 2KCl+3O_2

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of KClO_3 react to give 3 mole of O_2

So, 2.0 moles of KClO_3 react to give \frac{2.0}{2}\times 3=3.0 moles of O_2

Now we have to calculate the mass of O_2

\text{ Mass of }O_2=\text{ Moles of }O_2\times \text{ Molar mass of }O_2

\text{ Mass of }O_2=(3.0moles)\times (32g/mole)=96g

Therefore, the mass of oxygen gas produced is, 96 grams.

Now we have to determine the pressure exerted by the gas against the container walls.

Using ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT\\\\PV=\frac{w}{M}RT\\\\P=\frac{w}{V}\times \frac{RT}{M}\\\\P=\rho\times \frac{RT}{M}

where,

P = pressure of oxygen gas = ?

V = volume of oxygen gas

T = temperature of oxygen gas = 214.0^oC=273+214.0=487K

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mole.K

w = mass of oxygen gas

\rho = density of oxygen gas = 1.429 g/L

M = molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mole

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get:

P=1.429g/L\times \frac{(0.0821L.atm/mole.K)\times (487K)}{32g/mol}

P=1.78atm

Thus, the pressure exerted by the gas against the container walls is, 1.78 atm.
