Explanation:

When wax is heated then the molecules of wax starts to move due to increase in temperature. As a result, force of attraction between the molecules will decrease and they will start to move from one place to another.

Due to heating, the wax molecules will start moving randomly. Hence, wax will convert into liquid state.

When it was solid, its molecules and atoms stuck in place and could not be moved, which is why it was a solid object. Now that it's a liquid, it's atoms and molecules are free flowing and a constantly move adapting to the environment or the container.

how many grams of oxygen are produced if 25.0g of potassium chlorate decomposes according to the reaction 2KCLO3 —-> 2KCL +3O
AveGali [126]

Answer:

approximately 15.1 grams.

Explanation:

The key to chemistry is to change everything to moles. Then when you have the answer in moles change the answer back to grams, liters, or whatever you want.

change 25 grams of potassium chlorate to moles.

calculate the gram molecular mass of potassium chlorate.

Chlorate is Cl with 3 oxygens. ate = saturated. Chlorine has seven valance electrons when it is saturated six of these electrons are used by oxygen ( 2 electrons per oxygen) leaving only 1 electron.

1 K x 39 grams/mole

+1 Cl x 35.4 grams/ mole

+3 O x 16 grams/ mole

= 122.4 grams / mole Potassium Chlorate

25

122.4

= moles.

2.05 moles of Potassium Chlorate.

There is a 1:1 mole ratio. 1 mole of Potassium Chlorate will produce 1 mole of Potassium Chloride.

2.05 moles of Potassium Chlorate will produce 2.05 moles of Potassium Chloride.

Find the gram molecular mass of Potassium Chloride.

1 K x 39 = 39

+1 Cl x 35.4 = 35.4

= 74.4 grams / mole.

2.05 moles x 74.4 grams/ mole = 15.2 grams

Hope it helps :)

Given the balanced equation representing a reaction:
dimaraw [331]
The answer is (4) synthesis. Synthesis reaction means that two or more reactants combine directly to one production. Substitution or single replacement means that one element of a compound is replaced by another element. Double replacement means that two ionic reactants exchange ions to form two new productions.

You want to know how many moles of gas your lungs can hold. You start off with a balloon that has 1.4 moles of gas and occupies
Mrrafil [7]

Number of moles : n₂ = 1.775 moles

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Moles = n₁ = 1.4

Volume = V₁=22.4 L

V₂=28.4 L

Required

Moles-n₂

Solution

Avogadro's hypothesis, at the same temperature and pressure, the ratio of gas volume will be equal to the ratio of gas moles  

The ratio of gas volume will be equal to the ratio of gas moles

\tt \dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{n_1}{n_2}

Input the values :

n₂ = (V₂ x n₁)/V₁

n₂ = (28.4 x 1.4)/22.4

n₂ = 1.775 moles

How many grams of glucose are needed to prepare 400. g of a 2.00% (m/m) glucose solution g?
Dominik [7]
The grams   of glucose  are  needed  to  prepare  400g  of  a 2.00%(m/m)  glucose  solution  g  is  calculated  as  below

=% m/m =mass  of the solute/mass  of  the  solution  x100

let mass of   solute  be represented  by  y
mass  of solution = 400 g
 % (m/m) = 2% = 2/100

 grams  of  glucose  is  therefore =2/100 =  y/400
by cross  multiplication

100y = 800
divide   both side  by  100

y= 8.0 grams
