Answer: The positive and negative charges of the water molecule pull on the negative and positive ends of the ionic molecule to break them apart.

Explanation:  

Ionic compounds dissolve in polar solvents such as water as like dissolves like. Ionic compounds are made up of ions which remain attracted by coloumbic forces.  

Thus to separate the ions, the positive and negative charges of polar solvent pulls the opposite charges of the ionic compounds and thus break them apart. Thus the ionic compounds dissolve in water.

A 115.0-g sample of oxygen was produced by heating 400.0 g of potassium chlorate.2KClO3 Right arrow. 2KCI + 3O2What is the perce
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

73.4% is the percent yield

Explanation:

2KClO₃ →  2KCl  + 3O₂

This is a decomposition reaction, where 2 moles of potassium chlorate decompose to 2 moles of potassium chloride and 3 moles of oxygen.

We determine the moles of salt: 400 g . 1. mol /122.5g= 3.26 moles of KClO₃

In the theoretical yield of the reaction we say:

2 moles of potassium chlorate can produce 3 moles of oxygen

Therefore, 3.26 moles of salt, may produce (3.26 . 3) /2 = 4.89 moles of O₂

The mass of produced oxygen is: 4.89 mol . 32 g /1mol = 156.6g

But, we have produced 115 g. Let's determine the percent yield of reaction

Percent yield = (Produced yield/Theoretical yield) . 100

(115g / 156.6g) . 100 = 73.4 %
