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.

The pH of a saturated solution of a metal hydroxide MOH is 10.15. Calculate the Ksp for this compound.

Airida [17]

Answer:

$Ksp=2.00x10^{-8}$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the pH of the given metal is 10.15, we can compute the pOH as shown below:

$pOH=14-pH=14-10.15=3.85$

Now, we compute the concentration of hydroxyl ions in solution:

$[OH^-]=10^{-pOH}=10^{-3.95}=1.41x10^{-4}M$

Now, since this hydroxide has the form MOH, we infer the concentration of OH- equals the concentration of M^+ at equilibrium, assuming the following ionization reaction:

$MOH(s)\rightarrow M^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)$
