Balance the equation first:

2 KClO3 (s) ---> 2 KCl (s) + 3 O2 (g)

Moles of KClO3 = 110 / 122.5 = 0.89

Following the balanced chemical equation:
We can say moles of O2 produce = $\frac{3}{2}$ x moles of KClO3

So, O2 = (3 / 2) x 0.89

= 1.34 moles

So, Volume at STP = nRT / P

T = <span>273.15 K
P = 1 atm

So, V = (1.34 x 0.0821 x 273.15) / 1 = 30.2 L</span>

What is the concentration of OH − and pOH in a 0.00066 M solution of Ba ( OH ) 2 at 25 ∘ C? Assume complete dissociation.

Allushta [10]

<u>Answer:</u> The hydroxide ion concentration and pOH of the solution is $1.32\times 10^{-3}M$ and 2.88 respectively

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Concentration of barium hydroxide = 0.00066 M

The chemical equation for the dissociation of barium hydroxide follows:

$Ba(OH)_2\rightarrow Ba^{2+}+2OH^-$

1 mole of barium hydroxide produces 1 mole of barium ions and 2 moles of hydroxide ions

pOH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydroxide ion concentration present in the solution

To calculate pOH of the solution, we use the equation:

$pOH=-\log[OH^-]$

We are given:

$[OH^-]=(2\times 0.00066)=1.32\times 10^{-3}M$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pOH=-\log(1.32\times 10^{-3})\\\\pOH=2.88$

Hence, the hydroxide ion concentration and pOH of the solution is $1.32\times 10^{-3}M$ and 2.88 respectively

How do we balance Zn + HNO3 Zn(NO3)2 + NO + H20

USPshnik [31]

3Zn + 8HNO₃⇒ 3Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2NO + 4H₂O

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Equalization of chemical reaction equations can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:

1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c etc.

2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index between reactant and product

3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1

For gas combustion reaction which is a reaction of hydrocarbons with oxygen produces CO₂ and H₂O (water vapor). can use steps:

Balancing C atoms, H and the last O atoms

Reaction

Zn + HNO₃⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂ + NO + H₂O

1. gives a coefficient

aZn + bHNO₃⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂ + cNO + dH₂O

2. make an equation

Zn : left = a, right =1 ⇒a=1

H : left = b, right = 2d⇒ b=2d (eq 1)

N : left = b, right = 2+c⇒b=2+c (eq 2)

O : left = 3b, right = 6+c+d ⇒3b=6+c+d(eq 3)

From eq 1 and eq 3

3(2d)=6+c+d

6d=6+c+d

5d=6+c (eq 4)

From eq 2 and eq 3

3(2+c)=6+c+d

6+3c=6+c+d

2c=d (eq 5)

From eq 4 and eq 5

5(2c)=6+c

10c=6+c

9c=6

c = 2/3

input eq 5

d = 2 x 2/3

d = 4/3

input eq 1

b = 2 x 4/3

b = 8/3

The equation

aZn + bHNO₃⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂ + cNO + dH₂O to

Zn + 8/3HNO₃⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2/3NO + 4/3H₂O x 3

3Zn + 8HNO₃⇒ 3Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2NO + 4H₂O
