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

Find the number of moles of water that can be formed if you have 182 mol of hydrogen gas and 86 mol of oxygen gas.
frutty [35]
Water has a chemical formula of H2O. This means that for every 2 moles of hydrogen and 1 mole of oxygen, one mole of water will be formed.

Note that hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are both biatomic molecules. 

 (1)                   (182 mol H2) x (1 mol H2O/ 1 mol H2) = 182 mol H2O
 (2)                   (86 mol O2) x (2 mol H2O / 1 mol O2) = 172 mol H2O

We choose the smaller number of the two as the answer to this item. Thus, the answer to this question is 172 mol of H2O can be formed out of the given quantities.

What is the molar mass of CaCl2?
alekssr [168]
Molar mass of CaCl2 = 40+ ( 35.5 ×2)=110

Mr of Ca(OH)2 = 40+ (16+1)×2 =74

%of Ca = (40÷ 74)×10=...

1 m = 100cm...
1cm = (1÷100) m
So 45.5 cm = 45.5 ×(1÷100) =....

1km = 1000m
1m = 100 cm
1cm =10mm
So 1km = 1000×100×10 mm
Now convert
