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.

Carbonic acid reacts with water to yield bicarbonate ions and hydronium ions: h2co3+h2o?hco3?+h3o+ identify the conjugate acid-b
Levart [38]
Conjugate base pairs are acid and bases having common features. These features are the equal gain or loss of protons of the pairs. Conjugate pairs should always be one base and one acid. One would not exist without the other. Conjugate acids are the substances that gains protons while conjugates bases are those that loses protons. <span>The substances in the equilibrium reaction that is given is identified as follows: 
HCO3^-      +     H2O <----->   CO3^2-          +             H3O^+ 
 acid                   base         conjugate base           conjugate acid 

HCO3^- ion is an intermediate molecule of CO2 and CO3^2-. When we add OH- to HCO3^-, we produce CO3^2-. And when we add H+ to HCO3, we produce CO2. </span>

Give the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in 99Tc
miss Akunina [59]

Explanation:

Tc - 99 is technetium 99.

It is a radioactive element that decays spontaneously. It has a half-life of 211,000 years and decays to stable ruthenium.

  • On the periodic table, it has an atomic number of 43;

Mass number  = 99

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons in atom

  Number of protons in Tc is 43

                      electron is 43

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

  Number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons = 99-43 = 56

Nina [5.8K]
<span>Physical change, heat caused this.

Water molecules that only vibrate are in solid form. If heat energy is added, the molecules will speed up their vibrations until they can break loose from the organized pattern of a solid and begin to slide over each other, changing to liquid state. If more heat energy is added, the molecules will speed up more and move randomly in all directions as a gas/vapor. Removing heat energy will reverse these changes.
