The formula for potassium chlorate is:    2KClO₃   →   2KCl   +   3O₂

If moles =  mass ÷ molar mass  

then moles of KClO₃   =  25 g  ÷  [( 39 × 1 ) + ( 35.5 × 1) + ( 16 × 3)] g/mol
                     
                                   = 25 g  ÷  ( 122.5 g ) g/mol

                                   =  0.2041 mol


Now the mole ratio of   KClO₃    :   O₂     is    2   :   3

∴  if moles of KClO₃   =  0.2041 mol

  then moles of O₂     =  ( 0.2041 mol ÷ 2 ) × 3
          
                                  = 0.3061 mol


Now since mass = moles × molar mass

∴ the mass of oxygen produced  =  0.3061 mol  × ( 16 × 2) g/mol
                                                    =  9.796 g


∴ the grams of oxygen gas produced when 25 grams of potassium chlorate is decomposed is ~ 9.80 g.

HELPPP simply the expression!!!!
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

\frac{3}{ \sqrt{3} }  \times  \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{3} }  =  \frac{3 \sqrt{3} }{3}  =  \sqrt{3}

when there is a radical in the denominator, we should rationalize (mutiply the denominator and numerator by the radical) to get rid of the radical in the denominator.

What is the percent composition of phosphoric acid H3PO4
Agata [3.3K]
Hey there!:

Molar mass H3PO4 = <span>97.9952 g/mol

Atomic Masses :

H = </span><span>1.00794 a.m.u

</span>P = <span>30.973762 a.m.u

</span>O =  15.9994 a.m.u<span>

H % =  [ ( 1.00794 * 3 ) / </span> 97.9952  ]  * 100

H% = <span>3.0857 %

P % = [ ( </span>30.973762 * 1 ) / 97.9952 ] * 100

P% = <span>31.6074 %

O % = [ ( </span>15.9994 * 4 ) / 97.9952 ] * 100

O% = <span>65.3069 %


Hope this helps!</span>

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

The atmosphere traps heat energy from the Sun and energy radiated from Earth's surface helping to maintain Earth's climate

Explanation:

Earth's atmosphere keeps much of the Sun's energy from escaping into space. This process, called the greenhouse effect, keeps the planet warm enough for life to exist. The atmosphere allows about half of the Sun's heat energy (50%) to reach Earth's surface.

as the elements period 3 are considered in order of increasing atomic number, the number of principal energy levels in each succ
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

stay the same.

Explanation:  Period 3 consists of the full 1s, 2s, and 2p electron orbitals, plus the 3s and 3p valence orbitals, which are filled with a total of 8 more electrons as we move from left (Na) to the far right (Ar):

Na:  1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1

Ar:    s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

As we move from left to right, and ignoring the already-filled 1s, 2s, and 2p orbitals, the period three starting and ending elements have the following:

Na: 3s1

Ar: 3s2, 3p6

All the new electrons electrons filled the third energy level (3s and 3p).  So the energy level does not change, just the orbitals.

If the graph of y = a x 2 + b x + c does not intersect the x -axis, then what is true about the roots? Both are real roots. Both
Reptile [31]

Answer:

Both roots are imaginary roots.

Explanation:

Consider these things:

If we try to solve x²+1 = 0, notice that we aren't able to solve the equation in Real Number system because there are no negative outputs for quadratic function.

Remember that quadratic function has range greater or equal to the max-min value.

x-axis plane represents the solutions of that equation. If a graph intersects x-axis plane then it has a solution.

While a graph that doesn't have any intersects on x-plane, it means that the equation for that graph doesn't have real solutions but imaginary solutions.

As you may notice some of parabola graph has one intersect, two intersects or none. One intersect is one solution to the equation — Two intersects are two solutions of the equation and lastly, no intersects mean that no real solutions and remain only imaginary solution.
