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

Explain what the kinetic theory of matter states. Which state of matter has the LEAST kinetic energy and which state of matter h
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer: Solid

Solid particles have the least amount of energy, and gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles. A change in phase may occur when the energy of the particles is changed. There are spaces between particles of matter.

Most lakes have rivers flowing out of them, carrying water to the ocean. However, some lakes, including Great Salt Lake and the
Kaylis [27]

Since the only way of water flow to these lakes or bodies of water is through evaporation, I would expect an increase in unknown substances in the composition of the lakes due to the amount of contamination that globalization produces and affects terribly the surroundings when these unknown substances travel through evaporation as the outlet of these bodies of water. Therefore I think continuous contamination is what to expect after many more years of inflow and evaporation.
