Answer:
H2SO4 + 8HI → H2S + 4I2 + 4H2O
Zn⁰ ----> Zn⁺² + 2e⁻ - oxidation
Hg⁺² + 2e⁻ ----> Hg⁰ - reduction
Zn loses 2 moles of electrons , and Hg gains 2 mole of electrons.
So, number of moles of electrons gained and lost during reaction is equal.
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
They have the same number of protons
