To express the efficiency of a reaction, you can calculate the percent yield using this formula: %yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield) x 100. A percent yield of 90% means the reaction was 90% efficient, and 10% of the materials were wasted (they failed to react, or their products were not

A 100 g sample of potassium chlorate, KCIO3(s), is completely decomposed by heating:
Mama L [17]
Explanation:
In order to be able to calculate the volume of oxygen gas produced by this reaction, you need to know the conditions for pressure and temperature.
Since no mention of those conditions was made, I'll assume that the reaction takes place at STP, Standard Temperature and Pressure.
STP conditions are defined as a pressure of
100 kPa
and a temperature of
0
∘
C
. Under these conditions for pressure and temperature, one mole of any ideal gas occupies
22.7 L
- this is known as the molar volume of a gas at STP.
So, in order to find the volume of oxygen gas at STP, you need to know how many moles of oxygen are produced by this reaction.
The balanced chemical equation for this decomposition reaction looks like this

Notice that you have a

mole ratio between potassium chlorate and oxygen gas.
This tells you that the reaction will always produce

times more moles of oxygen gas than the number of moles of potassium chlorate that underwent decomposition.
Use potassium chlorate's molar mass to determine how many moles you have in that

A solution is prepared by dissolving 2.61 g ethanol (C2H5OH) in 16.2 g water. What is the molality (mol/kg) of C2H5OH in the sol
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

3.50 molal

Explanation:

Molality → Moles of solute / kg of solvent.

Let's convert the solvent's mass from g to kg

16.2 g . 1kg / 1000 g = 0.0162 kg

Let's determine the moles from the solute

2.61 g . 1 mol / 46 g = 0.0567 moles

Molality → 0.0567 mol / 0.0162 kg = 3.50 m

What rules should you follow when adding and subtracting ?
wariber [46]
Adding and subtracting with scientific notation may require more care, because the rule for adding and subtracting exponential expressions is that the expressions must havelike terms<span>. Remember that to be </span>like terms<span>, two expressions must have exactly the same base numbers to exactly the same powers. Thinking about decimal arithmetic, the requirement that we have the same powers makes sense, because that guarantees that all of the place values are lined up properly.</span>

An oxygen atom has a mass of 2.66*10^-23 and a glass of water has a mass of 0.050 kg. What is the mass of 1 mole of oxygen atoms
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

16.0 g; 3.1 mol

Explanation:

(a) Mass of O atoms

Mass = 6.022 × 10^23 atoms × (2.66 × 10^-23 g/1 atom) = 16.0 g

(b) Moles of O atoms

0.050 kg = 50 g

Moles = 50 g × (1 mol/16.0 g) = 3.1 mol
