Ionic bonds usually occur between metal and nonmetal ions. For example, sodium (Na), a metal, and chloride (Cl), a nonmetal, form an ionic bond to make NaCl. In a covalent bond, the atoms bond by sharing electrons. Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals.
260 miles with 12 gallons of gas
260 miles/12 gallons=21.6667 miles/1 gallon
286 miles/(21.6667 miles/1 gallon)=13.2 gallons of gas
Answer:
Explanation:
<u>1. Molecular chemical equation:</u>
- 2 KClO₃(s) → 2 KCl(s) + 3 O₂(g)
<u>2. Mole ratios:</u>
- 2 mol KClO₃ : 2 mol KCl : 3 mol O₂
<u>3. Number of moles of KClO₃</u>
- Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass
- Molar mass of KClO₃ = 122.55 g/mol
- Number of moles of KClO₃ = 54.3 g / 122.5 g/mol ≈ 0.44308 mol
<u>3. Number of moles of O₂</u>
As per the theoretical mole ratio 2 mol of KClO₃ produce 3 mol of O₂, then set up a proportion to determine how many moles of O₂ will be produced from 0.44038 mol of KClO₃.
- 3 mol O₂ / 2 mol KClO₃ = x / 0.44038 mol KClO₃
- x = (3 / 2) × 0.44308 mol O₂ = 0.6646 mol O₂
Round to 3 significant figures: 0.665 mol of O₂ ← answer
