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)

How do the strength and the cohesion of clay-rich regolith or soil change with the addition of water?
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Water lowers the strength and cohesion of clay-rich regolith or soil.

Explanation:

Water can seep into the soil or clay-rich regolith and replace the air in the pore space of the soil or regolith. Water will completely surrounds all the grains of the clay-rich regolith and breaks the bonds in between the grains, that is eliminating all grain to grain contact of the regolith. When the regolith becomes saturated with water, the angle of repose is reduced to very small values and the regolith tends to loose its form.
