Answer:
Keep it simple. If all the oxygen contained in the 200 grams of potassium chlorate is produced in the decomposition, then all we have to do is find out how many grams of oxygen are there in the 200 grams. This we can do by calculating the ratio of oxygen mass to the whole. Using 39.1 for potassium, 35.45 for chlorine and 3 times 16, or 48 for the oxygen, we get a total of 122.55 grams per mole for potassium chlorate, of which 48 grams are oxygen. This ratio is 48/122.55. This ratio times the original 200 grams of the compound, gives us 78.34 grams of oxygen produced.
Explanation:
An excited state refers to an atom with electrons at a higher energy level. More than necessary and a ground state is when all atom's electrons are in their lowest orbital possible
Considering ideal gas:
PV= RTn
T= 25.2°C = 298.2 K
P1= 637 torr = 0.8382 atm
V1= 536 mL = 0.536 L
:. R=0.082 atm.L/K.mol
:. n= (P1V1)/(RT) = ((0.8382 atm) x (0.536 L))/
((0.082 atmL/Kmol) x (298.2K))
:. n= O.0184 mol
Then,
P2= 712 torr = 0.936842 atm
V2 = RTn/P2 = [(0.082atmL/
Kmol) x (298.2K) x (0.0184mol) ]/(0.936842atm)
:.V2 = 0.4796 L
OR
V2 = 479.6 ml
1. E. None of the Above
2. D. x + y
