Write the balanced equation for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to form water and oxygen.

1 answer:

7 0

Hydrogen peroxide is H2O2, while water is H2O and oxygen (a diatomic gas) is O2. The (unbalanced) reaction is:
H2O2 --> H2O + O2
Notice that the H2O2 has 2 H atoms, and so does H2. This means that both must have the same coefficients, and we can adjust the coefficient of O2. Since H2O2 has 2 O atoms, and H2O has 1, we multiply O2 by 1/2:
H2O2 --> H2O + (1/2)O2
This has an equivalent number of H and O atoms on either side, but we want the coefficients to be whole numbers, so we multiply everything by 2:
2H2O2 --> 2H2O + O2

How many moles are in 0.06 grams of iron

Eva8 [605]

No of mole = reacting mass/ molar mass

No of mole = 0.06/56

No of mole = 0.00107mol....

Or...

1mole of iron contain 56gmol¯¹
:-x mole is contained in 0.06g

Porata
And you'll have..

x = 0.06/56

x = 0.00107mol.....

When 1 mol of KBr(s) decomposes to its elements, 394 kJ of heat is absorbed. (a) Write a balanced thermochemical equation.

VladimirAG [237]

The balanced thermochemical equation is

KBr ------- K + 1/2 Br2

<h3>What is thermochemical equation? </h3>

A Thermochemical Equation is defined as the balanced stoichiometric chemical equation which includes the enthalpy change, ΔH.

The chemical equation for the decomposition of potassium bromide to its constituent elements bromine ans potassium :

KBr ----- K + Br2

The balanced thermochemical equation of the decomposition of potassium bromide to its constituent elements potassium and bromide as follows

KBr ------- K + 1/2 Br2

As the heat is absorbed in this reaction therefore, heat is positive.

Thus, we concluded that the balanced thermochemical equation is

KBr ------- K + 1/2 Br2

When a magnesium ribbon is heated in air the product former is heavier.on the other hand when potassium manganate(VII) is heated

vesna_86 [32]

Answer: On heating, Magnesium forms its oxide; while potassium manganate(VII) decomposes

Explanation:

Magnesium Mg, on heating forms Magnesium oxide

2Mg(s) + O2(g) --> 2MgO

Potassium permanganate KMnO4, on heating decomposes to potassium manganate K2MnO4, manganese dioxide MnO2, and Oxygen gas O2.

2KMnO4 --> K2MnO4 + MnO2 + O2

The difference in observation is that, on heating, Magnesium forms its OXIDE as product; while potassium manganate(VII) decomposes, giving OFF most of its constituents and reducing its weight.
