For the reaction shown, calculate how many grams of oxygen form when each quantity of reactant completely reacts.
Nikolay [14]

Explanation:

Molar mass of KClO_{3} = 39.1 + 35.5 + 3(16.0) = 122.6 g

Molar mass of KCl = 39.1 + 35.5 = 74.6 g

Molar mass of O_{2} = 32.0 g

According to the equation, 2 moles of KClO_{3} reacts to give 3 moles of oxygen.

Therefore, 2 (122.6) = 245.2 g of KClO_{3} will give 3 (32.0) = 96.0 g of oxygen. Thus, 245.2 g of KClO_{3} gives 96.0 g of oxygen.

(a) Calculate the amount of oxygen given by 2.72 g of KClO_{3} as follows.

       \frac {96g}{245.2g} \times 2.72 g = 1.06 g of O_{2}


(b) Calculate the amount of oxygen given by 0.361 g of KClO_{3} as follows.

    \frac {96g}{245.2g} \times 0.361 g = 0.141 g of O_{2}


c) Calculate the amount of oxygen given by 83.6 kg KClO_{3} as follows.  

    \frac {96g}{245.2g} \times 83.6 g = 32.731 kg of O_{2}

Convert kg into grams as follows.

    \frac{32.731 kg}{1 kg} \times 1000 g = 32731 g of O_{2}


(d) Calculate the amount of oxygen given by 22.5 mg of KClO_{3} as follows.  

    \frac {96g}{245.2g} \times 22.5 mg = 8.79 mg

Convert mg into grams as follows.

  \frac{8.79 mg}{1 mg}\times 10^{-3} g = 8.79 \times 10^{-3} g of O_{2}

What causes the difference in bond angles in carbon dioxide and water?
egoroff_w [7]

Answer is: C) the fact that the number of lone pairs of electrons on the central atom is greater in the case of water.

Carbon(IV) oxide is nonpolar because CO₂ is linear molecule and the oxygen atoms are symmetrical (bond angles 180°).

Water is polar because of the bent shape of the molecule.

Oxygen atom in water molecule has sp3 hybridization. The bond angle between the two hydrogen atoms is approximately 104.45°.

Oxygen atom has atomic number 8, it means it has eight protons and eight electrons, so atom has neutral charge. Oxygen is a nonmetal.

Electron configuration of oxygen atom: ₈O 1s² 2s² 2p⁴.

Oxygen atom has six valence electrons , two lone pairs and two electrons that form two sigma bonds with hydrogen atoms.

Carbon is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6, which means it has 6 protons and six electrons. Four valence electrons are in 2s and 2p orbitals.  

Electron configuration of carbon atom: ₆C 1s² 2s² 2p².  

In carbon dioxide, carban has sp hybridization with no lone pairs.

Write the ground-state electron configuration for the chloride ion.You may write either the full or condensed electron configura
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6

Explanation:

Chlorine is the element of group 17 and third period. The atomic number of chlorine is 17 and the symbol of the element is Cl.

The electronic configuration of the element chlorine is:-

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5

Chloride ion is formed when chlorine atom gain one more electron. So, the ground-state electron configuration for the chloride ion is:-

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6
