Answer:

179.4 g of oyxgen will be produced.

Option 2.

Be careful because the units says L instead of g

Explanation:

Decomposition reaction:

2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂

2 moles of chlorate can decompose to 2 moles of chloride and 3 moles of oxygen.

We convert the mass to moles, and then we make the rule of three:

458 g / 122.55 g/mol =3.74 moles of chlorate

2 moles of chlorate can produce 3 moles of oxygen

Then, 3.74 moles of chlorate may produce (3.74 .3) / 2 = 5.60 moles of O₂

We convert the moles to mass → 5.60 mol . 32 g / 1mol = 179.4 g

Answer:

179.39 grams of O2 will be produced (option 2 is correct)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of KClO3 = 458 grams

Molar mass KClO3 = 122.55 g/mol

Molar mass O2 = 32.0 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

2KCIO3 → 2KCI + 3O2

Step 3: Calculate moles KClO3

Moles KClO3 = mass KClO3 / molar mass KClO3

Moles KClO3 = 458 grams / 122.55 g/mol

Moles KClO3 = 3.74 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of O2

For 2 moles KClO3 we'll have 2 moles KCl and 3 moles O2

For 3.74 moles we'll have 3/2 * 3.74 = 5.606 moles

Step 5: Calculate mass O2

Mass O2 = 5.606 moles * 32.0 g/mol

Mass O2 = 179.39 grams

179.39 grams of O2 will be produced (option 2 is correct)

A 100 gram glass container contains 200 grams of water and 50.0 grams of ice all at 0°c. a 200 gram piece of lead at 100°c is ad

ASHA 777 [7]

$0 \; \textdegree{\text{C}}$

Explanation:

Assuming that the final (equilibrium) temperature of the system is above the melting point of ice, such that all ice in the container melts in this process thus

$E(\text{fusion}) = m(\text{ice}) \cdot L_{f}(\text{water}) = 66.74 \; \text{kJ}$ and
$m(\text{water, final}) = m(\text{water, initial}) + m(\text{ice, initial}) = 0.250 \; \text{kg}$

Let the final temperature of the system be $t \; \textdegree{\text{C}}$ . Thus $\Delta T (\text{water}) = \Delta T (\text{beaker}) = t(\text{initial}) - t_{0} = t \; \textdegree{\text{C}}$

$Q(\text{water}) &= &c(\text{water}) \cdot m(\text{water, final}) \cdot \Delta T (\text{water})= 1.047 \cdot t\; \text{kJ}$ (converted to kilojoules)
$Q(\text{container}) &= &c(\text{glass}) \cdot m(\text{container}) \cdot \Delta T (\text{container})= 0.0837 \cdot t \; \text{kJ}$
$Q(\text{lead}) &= &c(\text{lead}) \cdot m(\text{lead}) \cdot \Delta T (\text{lead})= 0.0255 \cdot (100 - t)\; \text{kJ}$

The fact that energy within this system (assuming proper insulation) conserves allows for the construction of an equation about variable $t$ .

$E(\text{absorbed} ) = E(\text{released})$

$E(\text{absorbed} ) = E(\text{fushion}) + Q(\text{water}) + Q(\text{container})$
$E(\text{released}) = Q(\text{lead})$

Confirm the uniformity of units, equate the two expressions and solve for $t$ :

$66.74 + 1.047 \cdot t + 0.0837 \cdot t = 0.0255 \cdot (80 - t)$

$t \approx -55.95\; \textdegree{\text{C}} < 0\; \textdegree{\text{C}}$ which goes against the initial assumption. Implying that the final temperature does <em>not</em> go above the melting point of water- i.e., $t \le 0 \; \textdegree{\text{C}}$ . However, there's no way for the temperature of the system to go below $0 \; \textdegree{\text{C}}$ ; doing so would require the removal of heat from the system which isn't possible under the given circumstance; the ice-water mixture experiences an addition of heat as the hot block of lead was added to the system.

The temperature of the system therefore remains at $0 \; \textdegree{\text{C}}$ ; the only macroscopic change in this process is expected to be observed as a slight variation in the ratio between the mass of liquid water and that of the ice in this system.

Which element in period 4 has the highest electronegativity

vova2212 [387]

<span>Electronegativity is the property of an element that measures the ability of it to attract and form electron bonds. The trend in the periodic table in terms of electronegativity decreases from right to left and from top to bottom. In the case of period 4, the element with the highest electronegativity is bromine. </span>
