- Dalton reported that seven pounds of Oxygen reacted with one pound of hydrogen to form water, but accurate modern experiment gives eight pounds to one.
- Lavoisier reported that water contains Oxygen 5.6 times more than hydrogen by weight. 
- Dalton assumed that water contains 1 atom of oxygen and 1 atom of hydrogen and concluded that the relative weight of O must be 5.6 times as large as the H atom.
- By determining the relative mass we will be able to determine for example that one element has twice the mass of a second element.

Potassium chlorate (used in fireworks, flares, and safety matches) forms oxygen and potassium chloride when heated. KClO3(s) → K
Zina [86]

Answer:

10.3 g of oxygen are formed when 26.4 g of potassium chlorate is heated

Explanation:

This is the balanced equation:

2KClO₃(s) → 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)

Ratio beteween the salt and oxygen is 2:3

Molar mass of KClO₃ = 122.55 g/m

Let's find out the moles of salt

Mass / Molar mass

26.4 g /122.55 g/m = 0.215 moles

So, this is the final rule of three:

If 2 moles of KClO₃ make 3 moles of oxygen

0.215 moles of KClO₃ make  (0.215  .3) /2 = 0.323 moles of O₂ are produced

Molar mass O₂ = 32 g/m

Moles . molar mass = mass

0.323 m  . 32g/m = 10.3 g

Consider the reversible reaction.
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Option D is correct.

The concentrations of both PCl₅ and PCl₃ are changing at equilibrium

Explanation:

Chemical equilibrium during a reversible chemical reaction, is characterised by an equal rate of forward reaction and backward reaction. It is better described as dynamic equilibrium.

This is because, the concentration of the elements and compounds involved in the reversible chemical reaction at equilibrium changes, but the rate of change of the reactants is always equal to the rate of change of products.

Hence, the concentration of reactants and products, such as PCl₅ and PCl₃ are allowed to change at equilibrium, but alas, the rate of forward reaction must always match the rate of backward reaction for the process to remain in a state of Chemical equilibrium.

Hope this Helps!!!
