Write the balanced chemical equations for the decomposition of solid calcium hydroxide into solid calcium (ii) oxide (lime) and
1 answer:
Calcium oxide (CaO) or lime in solid form can be prepared from the decomposition of calcium hydroxide {Ca in to lime (CaO) and water (
at high temperature. The reaction is an endothermic reaction. That is heat is absorbed in this reaction process. One mole of calcium hydroxide decomposed into one mole of calcium oxide and one mole of water. The balanced reaction can be shown as-CaC
(solid) → CaO (solid) +
(liquid). The heat of the reaction is (+) 63.7 kJ/mole of CaO.

2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂
mole ratio of KClO₃ to O₂ is 2 : 3
∴ if moles of O₂ = 5 mol
then moles of KClO₃ =
= 3.33 mol
Mass of KClO₃ needed = mol of KClO₃ × molar mass of KClO₃
= 3.33 mol × ((39 × 1) + (35.5 × 1) + (16 × 3) g/mol
= 407.93 g
