What happens to a solid if thermal energy is reduced

kompoz [17]

When a substance is heated, it gains thermal energy. Therefore, its particles move faster and its temperature rises. When a substance is cooled, it loses thermal energy, which causes its particles to move more slowly and its temperature to drop.

Oxygen gas can be prepared by heating potassium chlorate according to the following equation:2KClO3(s)Arrow.gif2KCl(s) + 3O2(g)T

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Moles of potassium chlorate reacted = 0.2529 moles

The amount of oxygen gas collected will be 12.8675 g

Explanation:

(a)

We are given:

Vapor pressure of water = 17.5 mmHg

Total vapor pressure = 748 mmHg

Vapor pressure of Oxygen gas = Total vapor pressure - Vapor pressure of water = (748 - 17.5) mmHg = 730.5 mmHg

To calculate the amount of Oxygen gas collected, we use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 730.5 mmHg

V = Volume of the gas = 9.49 L

T = Temperature of the gas = $20^oC=[20+273]K=293K$

R = Gas constant = $62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

n = number of moles of oxygen gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$730.5mmHg\times 9.49L=n\times 62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 293K\\\\n=\frac{730.5\times 9.49}{62.3637\times 293}=0.3794mol$

According to the reaction shown below as:-

$2KClO_3(s)\rightarrow 2KCl(s) +3O_2(g)$

3 moles of oxygen gas are produced when 2 moles of potassium chlorate undergoes reaction.

So,

0.3794 mol of oxygen gas are produced when $\frac{2}{3}\times 0.3794$ moles of potassium chlorate undergoes reaction.

<u>Moles of potassium chlorate reacted = 0.2529 moles</u>

(b)

We are given:

Vapor pressure of water = 17.5 mmHg

Total vapor pressure = 753 mmHg

Vapor pressure of Oxygen gas = Total vapor pressure - Vapor pressure of water = (753 - 17.5) mmHg = 735.5 mmHg

To calculate the amount of Oxygen gas collected, we use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 735.5 mmHg

V = Volume of the gas = 9.99 L

T = Temperature of the gas = $20^oC=[20+273]K=293K$

R = Gas constant = $62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

n = number of moles of oxygen gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$735.5mmHg\times 9.99L=n\times 62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 293K\\\\n=\frac{735.5\times 9.99}{62.3637\times 293}=0.40211mol$

Moles of Oxygen gas = 0.40211 moles

Molar mass of Oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.037mol=\frac{\text{Mass of Oxygen gas}}{2g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of Oxygen gas}=(0.40211mol\times 32g/mol)=12.8675g$

<u>Hence, the amount of oxygen gas collected will be 12.8675 g</u>
