Answer:
10 atm
Explanation:
There's a lot to do here, but lets take it one step at a time. First, let's write a balanced equation for the decomposition of potassium chlorate into potassium chloride and oxgyen gas.
2 KClO3 → 2 KCl + 3 O2
Now let's find the moles of the KClO3 (molar mass 122.55 g/mol) that we have take 10 g/122.55 g/mol, grams will cancel and we are left with 0.0816 moles. lets divide that by two since we have a two in front of the KClO3 in the equation, and then multiply that number by 5 since it's the total moles of products, in summary, multiply by 5/2 to get 0.204 moles.
Now that we know the moles of our products, let's plug some stuff into the ideal gas law PV = nRT. We are looking for P so let's solve for that. P = (nRT)/V, now let's plug in our values. Make sure V is converted to liters so 0.5 L. And convert celcius to kelvin by adding 273
P = ((0.204 moles)(318 K)(0.08206 L atm mol^-1 K^-1))/0.5 L
A lot of units cancel, and we get about 10.65 atm, if you don't want the answer in atm, you can find a conversion equation. But let's round to sig figs for now, which will bring us to 10 atm.
Altitude is the reason why the temprature is different.
Complete Question:
A chemist prepares a solution of silver (I) perchlorate (AgCIO4) by measuring out 134.g of silver (I) perchlorate into a 50.ml volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with water. Calculate the concentration in mol/L of the silver (I) perchlorate solution. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
Answer:
13 mol/L
Explanation:
The concentration in mol/L is the molarity of the solution and indicates how much moles have in 1 L of it. So, the molarity (M) is the number of moles (n) divided by the volume (V) in L:
M = n/V
The number of moles is the mass (m) divided by the molar mass (MM). The molar mass of silver(I) perchlorate is 207.319 g/mol, so:
n = 134/207.319
n = 0.646 mol
So, for a volume of 50 mL (0.05 L), the concentration is:
M = 0.646/0.05
M = 12.92 mol/L
Rounded to 2 significant digits, M = 13 mol/L
