The grams of potassium chlorate that are required to produce 160 g of oxygen is 408.29 grams
<u><em>calculation</em></u>
2 KClO₃→ 2 KCl + 3O₂
Step 1: find the moles of O₂
moles = mass÷ molar mass
from periodic table the molar mass of O₂ = 16 x2 = 32 g/mol
moles = 160 g÷ 32 g/mol = 5 moles
Step2 : use the mole ratio to determine the moles of KClO₃
from equation given KClO₃ : O₂ is 2:3
therefore the v moles of KClO₃ = 5 moles x 2/3 = 3.333 moles
Step 3: find the mass of KClO₃
mass= moles x molar mass
from periodic table the molar mass of KClO₃
= 39 + 35.5 + (16 x3) =122.5 g/mol
mass = 3.333 moles x 122.5 g/mol =408.29 grams
Chemical- it produces ammonia.
Answer:
Explanation:
Overuse of antibiotics leads to bacteria's resistance against our drugs. This is increasing at an alarming rate and the reason is that overuse of antibiotics kills bacteria that lack the "resistance" gene or gene that can help them survive the antibiotics (similar is the case for insects that die to insecticides). But, some bacteria can have random mutations in their gene that can help them survive the antibiotic (similar is the case for some insects that can survive the insecticide), thus the surviving bacteria give rise to next generation of bacteria that are resistant to the given antibiotic (similar to how insects that survive the insecticide give birth to new insects that are resistant to insecticide too). Soon, every generation adds new antibiotic resistant bacteria (or new insecticide resistant insects in the case of insects) which is dangerous for all of life on this planet. Therefore, both are similar in the sense that new generations of these organisms will be resistant to our weapons against them.
Answer:
C.
Explanation:
Higher temperatures leads to higher growth rates this is because, as the temperature increases, the plants have more needs to respire leading to more cellular activities and release of more carbonioxide. The increase in atmospheric carbondioxide and cellular activities leads to increase in plant growth. However, it should be noted that the increase in temperature shouldn't go beyond a certain level as it can also cause adverse effects of crops.
