Gravity is the solution!. We are lucky to have Jupiter in our solar system. Jupiter's gravity is strong enough to pull meteorites towards itself.

Solid potassium chlorate decomposes upon heating to form

olga55 [171]

Answer:

32.6%

Explanation:

Equation of reaction

2KClO₃ (s) → 2KCl (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Molar mass of 2KClO₃ = 245.2 g/mol ( 122.6 × 2)

Molar volume of Oxygen at s.t.p = 22.4L / mol

since the gas was collected over water,

total pressure = pressure of water vapor + pressure of oxygen gas

0.976 = 0.04184211 atm + pressure of oxygen gas at 30°C

pressure of oxygen = 0.976 - 0.04184211 = 0.9341579 atm = P1

P2 = 1 atm, V1 = 789ml, V2 = unknown, T1 = 303K, T2 = 273k at s.t.p

Using ideal gas equation

$\frac{P1V1}{T1}$ = $\frac{P2V2}{T2}$

V2 = $\frac{P1V1T2}{T1P2}$

V2 = 664.1052 ml

245.2 yielded 67.2 molar volume of oxygen

0.66411 will yield = $\frac{245.2 * 0.66411}{67.2}$ = 2.4232 g

percentage of potassium chlorate in the original mixture = $\frac{2.4232 * 100}{7.44}$ = 32.6%

In a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen gases, the mole fraction of nitrogen is 0.333. If the partial pressure of hydrogen in the

notka56 [123]

Answer:

$P_T=112.4torr$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since these problems about gas mixtures are based off Dalton's law in terms of mole fraction, partial pressure and total pressure, we can write the following for hydrogen, we are given its partial pressure:

$P_{H_2}=x_{H_2}*P_T$

And can be solved for the total pressure as follows:

$P_T=\frac{P_{H_2}}{x_{H_2}}$

However, we first calculate the mole fraction of hydrogen by subtracting that of nitrogen to 1 due to:

$x_{H_2}+x_{N_2}=1\\\\x_{H_2}=1-0.333=0.667$

Then, we can plug in to obtain the total pressure:

$P_T=\frac{75.0torr}{0.667}\\\\P_T=112.4torr$

Regards!

Please help, I really don’t understand this!!!

Analysing the Question:

We are given the balanced equation:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂→ 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

from this equation, we can say that: for every 1 mole of Glucose, we need 6 moles of Oxygen

Moles of Glucose used in the reaction:

Molar mass of Glucose = 180 grams / mol

Given mass of Glucose = 1 gram

Mole of Glucose = Given mass / Molar mass

Moles of Glucose = 1 / 180 moles

Mass of Oxygen required:

We know that for every mole of Glucose, we need 6 moles of Oxygen

So, for 1/180 moles of Glucose, we need 6 / 180 = 1 / 30 moles of Oxygen

Mass of 1 / 30 moles of Oxygen:

Mass = Molar mass * number of moles

Mass of Oxygen = 32 * 1/30

Mass of Oxygen = 32 / 30

Mass of Oxygen = 1.06 grams
