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

What does the absolute magnitude of a star depend on?
Serggg [28]
C. Distance from Earth

The observed brightness of a star (the apparent magnitude) to an absolute magnitude, you need to know the distance [d], to the star. Alternatively, if we know the distance and the apparent magnitude [m] of a star, we can calculate its absolute magnitude [d].

7. Convert 5.2 cm of magnesium (Mg) ribbon to mm of Mg ribbon.
Effectus [21]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

52 mm

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

  • 5.2 cm of magnesium

Required to convert it to cm

We are going to use the appropriate conversion factor;

  • The units used to measure length include;

Kilometer(km)

10

Hectometer (Hm)

10

Decameter (dkm)

10

Meter(m)

10

Decimeter (dm)

10

Centimeter (cm)

10

Millimeter (mm)

Therefore; the appropriate conversion factor is 10mm/cm

Thus;

5.2 cm will be equivalent to;

= 5.2 cm × 10 mm/cm

= 52 mm

Therefore, the length of magnesium ribbon is 52 mm
