Potassium chlorate is a mean little chemical. It likes to decompose rather violently, and when it does, it decomposes into two d

ifferent products--potasssium chloride and a gas. What is this gas produced in the reaction?

Answer:

Oxygen gas

Explanation:

Potassium chlorate KClO3 decomposes thermally to form potassium chloride KCl and oxygen gas is given off. This is in the presence of a catalyst, manganese iv oxide.

Hence, what is being said in essence is that when potassium chloride is heated in the presence of manganese iv oxide catalyst, oxygen is given off as the gaseous product with the formation of potassium chloride.

The chemical equation for the reaction is :

2KClO3 ——-> 2KCl + 3O2

This procedure is one of most important ways through which oxygen can be produced in the laboratory and can be used as a source of oxygen is industrial processes if on a large scale

A hot air ballon will rise in air because:
solmaris [256]

Answer: C

Explanation:

Hot air is a lot less dense for a few reasons. Hot air essentially means the particles have more kinetic energy, and move around a lot more. Cold air is dense because the particles move a lot less, have less energy, and are closer together.

Which response includes all of the following processes that are accompanied by an increase in entropy?
dlinn [17]

Answer:

1 and 3.

Explanation:

The entropy measures the randomness of the system, as higher is it, as higher is the entropy. The randomness is associated with the movement and the arrangement of the molecules. Thus, if the molecules are moving faster and are more disorganized, the randomness is greater.

So, the entropy (S) of the phases increases by:

S solid < S liquid < S gases.

1. The substance is going from solid to gas, thus the entropy is increasing.

2. The substance is going from a disorganized way (the molecules of I are disorganized) to an organized way (the molecules join together to form I2), thus the entropy is decreasing.

3. The molecules go from an organized way (the atom are joined together) to a disorganized way, thus the entropy increases.

4. The ions are disorganized and react to form a more organized molecule, thus the entropy decreases.
