Since the problem states that excess amount of red phosphorus is supplied, therefore this only means that all of potassium chlorate are consumed to form the product tetraphosphorus decoxide.

The reaction is given as:

10KClO3(s) + 3P4(s) → 3P4O10(s) + 10KCl(s) 

 

First, we calculate for the amount of KClO3 in terms of moles. The molar mass of KClO3 is 122.55 g / mol.

moles KClO3 = 65.1 g / (122.55 g / mol)

moles KClO3 = 0.5312 mol

 

Using stoichiometric ratio of the balanced reaction, 10 moles of KClO3 produces 3 moles of P4O10, therefore:

moles P4O10 = 0.5312 mol KClO3 (3 moles of P4O10 / 10 moles of KClO3)

moles P4O10 = 0.16 mol

Converting this to mass by multiplying the molar mass of P4O10 = 283.886 g/mol

mass P4O10 = 0.16 mol * 283.886 g/mol

mass P4O10 = 45.24 g

 

ANSWER: 45.24 g P4O10

What is the mass of 1 mole of MgSO4?
White raven [17]

Answer:

120.37 g

Explanation:

Mg = 24.31 g

S = 32.06 g

4 O = 16 X 4 = 64 g

Therefore, MgSO4 is (24.31 + 32.06 + 64) g = 120.37 g

For changing potential energy; When you drop a book, gravitational potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy. Your car transforms the chemical potential energy stored in gasoline into the kinetic energy of the car's motion.

For Kinetic Energy; kinetic energy can be converted into electrical energy by a generator or into thermal energy by the brakes on a car.
