Answer:

Deserts are the regions that cover little or no vegetation and there is no rainfall. Deserts are very hot in the day time and cold during the night time. It is because during the day time the sun heats up the sand, as a result of which the sand becomes very hot increasing the temperature. This increasing temperature in the desert is also because of the absence of rainfall and vegetation cover.

Thus, the desert area is rich in heat energy during the day time. But at night, the sand releases its heat energy back into the atmosphere through infrared radiation because the dry air cannot hold the heat anymore. This release of the heat energy allows the sands to cool, thereby dropping the temperature.

For the reaction 2 s (s) + 3 o2 (g) → 2 so3 (g), how much so3 can be produced from 4 g o2 and excess s? 1. 0.25 mol so3 2. 0.13
igor_vitrenko [27]
The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
2S + 3O₂ --> 2SO₃
Stoichiometry of O₂ to SO₃ is 3:2
O₂ is the limiting reactant and S is provided in excess. since O₂ is the limiting reactant, the whole amount is consumed in the reaction and amount of product formed depends on amount of limiting reactant present.
Number of O₂ moles reacted- 4 g / 32 g/mol = 0.125 mol
3 mol of O₂ forms 2 mol of SO₃
therefore when 0.125 mol of O₂ reacts number of SO₃ moles - 2/3 x 0.125 mol
Number of SO₃ moles formed - 0.0833 mol
Answer is 4) 0.08 mol

For the reaction 2kclo3(s)→2kcl(s)+3o2(g) calculate how many grams of oxygen form when each quantity of reactant completely reac
barxatty [35]
First, we need to get the molar mass of:

KClO3 = 39.1 + 35.5 + 3*16 = 122.6 g/mol

KCl =39.1 + 35.5 = 74.6 g/mol

O2 = 16*2 = 32 g/mol

From the given equation we can see that:

every 2 moles of KClO3 gives 3 moles of O2

when mass = moles * molar mass

∴ the mass of KClO3 = (2mol of KClO3*122.6g/mol) = 245.2 g

and the mass of O2 then = 3 mol * 32g/mol = 96 g

so, 245.2 g of KClO3 gives 96 g of O2

A) 2.72 g of KClO3: 

when 245.2 KClO3 gives → 96 g  O2

   2.72 g KClO3 gives →  X

X = 2.72 g KClO3 * 96 g O2/245.2 KClO3

    = 1.06 g of O2

B) 0.361 g KClO3:

when 245.2 g KClO3 gives → 96 g O2

     0.361 g KClO3 gives → X

∴ X = 0.361g KClO3 * 96 g / 245.2 g

       = 0.141 g of O2

C) 83.6 Kg KClO3:

when 245.2 g KClO3 gives → 96 g O2

       83.6 Kg KClO3 gives  →  X

∴X = 83.6 Kg* 96 g O2 /245.2 g KClO3

     = 32.7 Kg of O2

D) 22.4 mg of KClO3:

when 245.2 g KClO3 gives → 96 g O2

        22.4 mg KClO3 gives → X

∴X = 22.4 mg * 96 g O2 / 245.2 g KClO3

      = 8.8 mg of O2

In which sample is the average kinetic energy of the particles the greatest?
tangare [24]
Temperature is a measurement of average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample which means that the sample with the highest temperature has the highest average kinetic energy of the particles.

That being said the answer would be 4) 10 mL of H2O (l) at 35 degrees Celsius since that sample has the largest temperature.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

Which general equation shows a Single-displacement reaction?
Stella [2.4K]
Hello! The answer is D

A good note for these is when there are three elements, one being a singular element and another a compound and there’s a single switch, this could show a single-displacement
