From the balanced equation 2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2, the coefficients are the following:
coefficient 2 in front of potassium chlorate KClO3
coefficient 2 in front of potassium chloride KCl
coefficient 3 in front of oxygen molecule O2
We got this balanced equation by identifying the number of atoms of each element that we have in the given equation KClO3 → KCl + O2.
Looking at the subscripts of each atom on the reactant side and on the product side, we have
KClO3 → KCl + O2
K=1 K=1
Cl=1 Cl=1
O=3 O=2
We can see that the oxygens are not balanced. We add a coefficient 2 to the 3 oxygen atoms on the left side and another coefficient 3 to the 2 oxygen
atoms on the right side to balance the oxygens:
2KClO3 → KCl + 3O2
The coefficient 2 in front of potassium chlorate KClO3 multiplied by the subscript 3 of the oxygen atoms on the left side indicates 6 oxygen atoms just as the coefficient 3 multiplied by the subscript 2 on the right side indicates 6 oxygen atoms.
The number of potassium K atoms and chloride Cl atoms have changed as well:
2KClO3 → KCl + 3O2
K=2 K=1
Cl=2 Cl=1
O=6 O=6
We now have two potassium K atoms and two chloride Cl atoms on the reactant side, so we add a coefficient 2 to the potassium chloride KCl on the product side:
2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2, which is our final balanced equation.
K=2 K=2
Cl=2 Cl=2
O=6 O=6
The potassium, chlorine, and oxygen atoms are now balanced.
Answer:
0.68 V
Explanation:
For anode;
3Mg(s) ---->3Mg^2+(aq) + 6e
For cathode;
2Al^3+(aq) + 6e -----> 2Al(s)
Overall balanced reaction equation;
3Mg(s) + 2Al^3+(aq) ----> 3Mg^2+(aq) + 2Al(s)
Since
E°anode = -2.356 V
E°cathode = -1.676 V
E°cell=-1.676 -(-2.356)
E°cell= 0.68 V
The theoretical proportion is given by the balanced chemical equation:
2 mol NBr / 3 mol Na OH
Then x mol NaOH / 40 mol NBr3 = 3mol NaOH/2 mol NBr3
Solve for x, x = 40 * 3/2 = 60 mol NaOH.
Given that there are 48 mol NaOH (less than 60) this is the limitant reactant and the other is the excess reactant.
Answer: NBr3..
Answer is (b) , because a chemical change happened
