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

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

SCl₂

Explanation:

In order to know the empirical formula, we have to follow a series of steps.

Step 1: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass

S: 26.95/32.07 = 0.8403

Cl: 59.61/35.45 = 1.682

Step 2: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one.

S: 0.8403/0.8403 = 1

Cl: 1.682/0.8403 ≈ 2

The empirical formula of the compound is SCl₂.

How much does the universe(galaxy) weigh?
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

(before researching)it weighs a positive infinity ∞

Explanation:

(after researching)Our galaxy weighs in at around 10^42 kilograms and the entire visible universe reaches something like 10^53. You can try to convert those figures to something a little more familiar, such as the weight of a blue whale, by subtracting 5 from any of those exponents.

hope this helps have a great day also brainly would be very much appreciated

You need 455 ml of a 75% alcohol solution. on hand, you have a 25% alcohol mixture. you also have a 90% alcohol mixture. how muc
marishachu [46]
X ml - <span>25% alcohol mixture
y ml - </span><span>90% alcohol mixture

x+y = 455 

0.25x ml alcohol in </span>x ml of  25% alcohol mixture
0.9y ml alcohol in y ml of  90% alcohol mixture
0.75*455= 341.25 ml alcohol in 455 ml of  75% alcohol mixture

0.25x+0.9y=341.25 

System of equations:

x+y = 455 /*(-0.25) ------> -0.25x-0.25y = -0.25*455 
0.25x+0.9y=341.25

-0.25x-0.25y=-113.75
0.25x+0.9y=341.25    Add both equations

0.25x+0.9y-0.25x-0.25y=341.25-113.75
0.65y =227.5
y=227.5/0.65 = 350 ml  of  90% alcohol mixture

x+y=455
x+355=455
x=100 ml of  25% alcohol mixture

How many moles are 5.55 x 102 atoms of Mg?<br> M2) an&gt; NU X 02.0
cupoosta [38]

Explanation:

number of atoms = moles × avegadro number

so 5.55 × 10^2 = moles × 6.023 × 10^23

moles = 5.55 × 10^2 ÷ 6.023 × 10^23 = 9.214×10−22 moles

The number of B2H6 molecules
zlopas [31]

Answer:

6.022 × 10²³ molecules of B₂H₆

Explanation:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen

B₂H₆ molecules:

21.63 g = one mole of B₂H₆= 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of B₂H₆
