Answer:

See the answer below , please.

Explanation:

In a decomposition reaction, a certain compound is "broken" to give two or more different products.

An example for compound AB, giving as products A and B:

AB -> A + B

In the case of water:

2H20 -> 2H2 + 02, water decomposes giving Hydrogen and Oxygen

Answer:

The answer is 2 KClO₃ → 2 KCl + 3 O₂

Explanation:

In a decomposition reaction, a single substance decomposes, producing two or more different substances. That is, two or more substances are formed in this type of reactions from a compound. The atoms that form a compound are separated to give the products according to the formula:

AB → A + B

This type of reactions can occur spontaneously or caused by certain external factors that promote the breakdown of the molecule into simpler substances.

So in this case 2 KClO₃ → 2 KCl + 3 O₂ is a decomposition reaction. Potassium chlorate decomposes to give potassium chloride and oxygen gas as a product.

(part 1 of 3) Copper reacts with silver nitrate through a single replacement. If 1.29 g of silver are produced from the reaction

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the described chemical reaction, we first write the corresponding equation to obtain:

$Cu+2AgNO_3\rightarrow 2Ag+Cu(NO_3)_2$

Thus, we proceed as follows:

Part 1 of 3: here, since the molar mass of silver and copper (II) nitrate are 107.87 and 187.55 g/mol respectively, and the mole ratio of the former to the latter is 2:1, we can set up the following stoichiometric expression:

$m_{Cu(NO_3)_2}=1.29gAg*\frac{1molAg}{107.87gAg}*\frac{1molCu(NO_3)_2}{2molAg}*\frac{187.55gCu(NO_3)_2}{1molCu(NO_3)_2} \\\\m_{Cu(NO_3)_2}=1.12gCu(NO_3)_2$

Part 2 of 3: here, the molar mass of copper is 63.55 g/mol and the mole ratio of silver to copper is 2:1, the mass of the former that was used to start the reaction was:

$m_{Cu}=1.29gAg*\frac{1molAg}{107.87gAg}*\frac{1molCu}{2molAg}*\frac{63.55gCu)_2}{1molCu} \\\\m_{Cu}=0.380gCu$

Part 3 of 3: here, the molar mass of silver nitrate is 169.87 g/mol and their mole ratio 2:2, thus, the mass of initial silver nitrate is:

$m_{AgNO_3}=1.29gAg*\frac{1molAg}{107.87gAg}*\frac{2molAgNO_3}{2molAg}*\frac{169.87gAgNO_3}{1molAgNO_3} \\\\m_{AgNO_3}=2.03gAgNO_3$

Best regards!

What is the difference between a homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture?

Semmy [17]

A homogeneous mixture is made up of multiple different substances. (You can see different parts)
Ex: Cereal in milk or ice in soda

A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture that is mixed well. ( you can’t see the different parts)
Ex: Rain or air
