Answer:
Moles of TNT = 2.38 moles
Explanation:
First , calculate the molar mass of the compound TNT
The formula is : C7H5N3O6
How to calculate molar mass?
Molar mass : It is the mass of substance in grams which is present in 1 mole of the compound.It is calculated by:
Molar mass = Number of atoms x the atomic mass of the element
Atomic mass of the elements are given below :
C = 12.0107
H = 1.0079
N = 14.0067
O = 15.9994
Molar mass of C7H5N3O6 =
= (7 x C) + (5 x H) + (3 x N) + (6 x O)
= 7(12.0107) +5(1.0079) + 3(14.0067) + 6(15.9994)
Molar mass = 227 .13 gram/mole
Mole are calculated using the formula:
Given mass = 539.88 grams
Molar mass = 227.13 g/mole
= 2.3769
Moles = 2.38 moles
Answer is (b)
2,3,1 is the stoichiometry
The values in front of the elements are the stoichiometric values
(Since Al2Br6 has no value in front, it's considered 1)
Fireworks owe their colors to reactions of combustion of the metals present. When Mg and Al burn, they emit a white bright light, whereas iron emits a gold light. Besides metals, oxygen is necesary for the combustion. The decomposition reactions of barium nitrate and potassium chlorate provide this element. At the same time, barium can burn emitting a green light.
(a) Barium nitrate is a <em>salt</em> formed by the <em>cation</em> barium Ba²⁺ and the <em>anion</em> nitrate NO₃⁻. Its formula is Ba(NO₃)₂. Potassium chlorate is a <em>salt</em> formed by the <em>cation</em> potassium K⁺ and the <em>anion</em> chlorate ClO₃⁻. Its formula is KClO₃.
(b) The balanced equation for the decomposition of potassium chloride is:
2KClO₃(s) ⇄ 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)
(c) The balanced equation for the decomposition of barium nitrate is:
Ba(NO₃)₂(s) ⇄ BaO(s) + N₂(g) + 3O₂(g)
(d) The balanced equations of metals with oxygen to form metal oxides are:
- 2 Mg(s) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2 MgO(s)
- 4 Al(s) + 3 O₂(g) ⇄ 2 Al₂O₃(s)
- 4 Fe(s) + 3 O₂(g) ⇄ 2 Fe₂O₃(s)
