1st you need to find the mole ratio between KClO3 and O2. To find that you need to take the coefficents of each of the compounds. That gives a ratio of 2:3.
Now we find out how many each unit is:
2x = 12
x = 6
Now we multiply it by 3 to find the number of moles of O2
3(6) = 18 mol O2.
Looking at both reactions, we can see that the combustion of carbon, graphite or diamond, leads to the formation of carbon dioxide and energy. Since energy is a product of the reaction, we known that this is an exothermic reaction. The value of the change in enthalpy, ΔH, will be negative.
A negative value of ΔH in each exothermic reaction suggests that the carbon dioxide product is at a lower energy than the reactants. And since more energy is released in the combustion of diamond compared to graphite, we know that diamond has a higher internal energy than graphite.
<span>Several
important pollutants are produced by fossil fuel combustion: carbon
monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and hydrocarbons. In addition,
total suspended particulates contribute to air pollution, and nitrogen
oxides and hydrocarbons can combine in the atmosphere to form
tropospheric ozone, the major constituent of smog.
Carbon monoxide is a gas formed as a by-product during the incomplete
combustion of all fossil fuels. Exposure to carbon monoxide can cause
headaches and place additional stress on people with heart disease. Cars
and trucks are the primary source of carbon monoxide emissions.
Two oxides of nitrogen--nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxide--are formed in
combustion. Nitrogen oxides appear as yellowish-brown clouds over many
city skylines. They can irritate the lungs, cause bronchitis and
pneumonia, and decrease resistance to respiratory infections. They also
lead to the formation of smog. The transportation sector is responsible
for close to half of the US emissions of nitrogen oxides; power plants
produce most of the rest.
Sulfur oxides are produced by the oxidization of the available sulfur in
a fuel. Utilities that use coal to generate electricity produce
two-thirds of the nation's sulfur dioxide emissions. Nitrogen oxides and
sulfur oxides are important constituents of acid rain. These gases
combine with water vapor in clouds to form sulfuric and nitric acids,
which become part of rain and snow. As the acids accumulate, lakes and
rivers become too acidic for plant and animal life. Acid rain also
affects crops and buildings.
Hydrocarbons are a broad class of pollutants made up of hundreds of
specific compounds containing carbon and hydrogen. The simplest
hydrocarbon, methane, does not readily react with nitrogen oxides to
form smog, but most other hydrocarbons do. Hydrocarbons are emitted from
human-made sources such as auto and truck exhaust, evaporation of
gasoline and solvents, and petroleum refining.
The white haze that can be seen over many cities is tropospheric ozone,
or smog. This gas is not emitted directly into the air; rather, it is
formed when ozone precursors mainly nonmethane hydrocarbons and nitrogen
oxides react in the presence of heat and sunlight. Human exposure to
ozone can produce shortness of breath and, over time, permanent lung
damage. Research shows that ozone may be harmful at levels even lower
than the current federal air standard. In addition, it can reduce crop
yields.
Finally, fossil fuel use also produces particulates, including dust,
soot, smoke, and other suspended matter, which are respiratory
irritants. In addition, particulates may contribute to acid rain
formation.
Also, water and land pollution.

Explanation:
N2 (g) + H2 (g) gives out NH3 (g)
Now balance it. You have two reactants with compositions involving a single element, which makes it very easy to keep track of how much is on each side. I would balance the nitrogens, and then the hydrogens.
Now balance it. You have two reactants with compositions involving a single element, which makes it very easy to keep track of how much is on each side. I would balance the nitrogens, and then the hydrogens.(If you balance the hydrogen reactant with a whole number first, I can guarantee you that you will have to give NH3 a new stoichiometric coefficient.)
N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) gives out 2NH3 (g)
The stoichiometric coefficients tell you that if we can somehow treat every component in the reaction as the same (like on a per-mol basis, hinthint), then one "[molar] equivalent" of nitrogen yields two [molar] equivalents of ammonia.
Luckily, one mol of anything is equal in quantity to one mol of anything else because the comparison is made in the units of mols.
So what do we do? Convert to
mols (remember the hint?).
28g N2 × 1 mol N2/ 2 × 14.007) g N2
= 0.9995 mol N2
At this point you don't even need to calculate the number of mols of H2 . Why? Because H2 is about 2 g/mol, which means we have over 10 mols of H2. We have 1 mol N2, and we need three times as many mols of H2 as we have
N2.
After doing the actual calculation you should realize that we have about 4 times as much H2 as we need. Therefore the limiting reagent is clearly N2.
Thus, we should yield 2×0.9995=1.9990 mols of NH3 (refer back to the reaction). So this is the second and last calculation we need to do:
1.9990 mol NH3 × 17.0307 g NH3/ 1 mol NH3
= 34.0444 g NH3
Hope it helpz~
