Briefly explain why there is a constant temperature plateau in the cooling curve

Chemistry

This plateau is where a phase change occurs. Likely, this cooling curve observes the changing of a liquid into a solid (so that the temperature is quantifiable). As something cools, it’s losing energy to the surroundings; when a phase change occurs, like liquid to solid, energy isn’t lost directly from the atom, but instead the energy maintained by free motion of the atom is used. This lack of motion reduces it into a lattice (all while maintaining a constant internal energy), finalizing the phase change, after which energy is lost directly from the atom again.

For the reaction 2kclo3(s)→2kcl(s)+3o2(g) calculate how many grams of oxygen form when each quantity of reactant completely reac
barxatty [35]
First, we need to get the molar mass of:

KClO3 = 39.1 + 35.5 + 3*16 = 122.6 g/mol

KCl =39.1 + 35.5 = 74.6 g/mol

O2 = 16*2 = 32 g/mol

From the given equation we can see that:

every 2 moles of KClO3 gives 3 moles of O2

when mass = moles * molar mass

∴ the mass of KClO3 = (2mol of KClO3*122.6g/mol) = 245.2 g

and the mass of O2 then = 3 mol * 32g/mol = 96 g

so, 245.2 g of KClO3 gives 96 g of O2

A) 2.72 g of KClO3: 

when 245.2 KClO3 gives → 96 g  O2

   2.72 g KClO3 gives →  X

X = 2.72 g KClO3 * 96 g O2/245.2 KClO3

    = 1.06 g of O2

B) 0.361 g KClO3:

when 245.2 g KClO3 gives → 96 g O2

     0.361 g KClO3 gives → X

∴ X = 0.361g KClO3 * 96 g / 245.2 g

       = 0.141 g of O2

C) 83.6 Kg KClO3:

when 245.2 g KClO3 gives → 96 g O2

       83.6 Kg KClO3 gives  →  X

∴X = 83.6 Kg* 96 g O2 /245.2 g KClO3

     = 32.7 Kg of O2

D) 22.4 mg of KClO3:

when 245.2 g KClO3 gives → 96 g O2

        22.4 mg KClO3 gives → X

∴X = 22.4 mg * 96 g O2 / 245.2 g KClO3

      = 8.8 mg of O2
