Answer:

  • <em><u>Option A. </u></em><u><em>2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂</em></u>

Explanation:

There are five basic general types of chemical reactions:

  • Decomposition reactions
  • Synthesis or combination reaction
  • Single replacement reactions
  • Double replacement reactions
  • Combustion reactions

The given reactions are:

  • <u>2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂</u>

Which is, indeed, a decomposition reaction because the reactant, KClO₃, is a single substance that undergoes a reaction in which it yields two new substances, known as products: KCl and O₂.

  • <u>4Na + O₂ → 2Na₂O</u> is a synthesis or combination reaction because two reactants, Na and O₂, combine for the formation of one single new product, Na₂O.

  • <u>ZnS + 3 O₂ →  2ZnO + 2SO₂ </u>is a single replacement reaction because oxygen is replacing Zn and S in ZnS to form ZnO and plus SO₂.

  • <u>2NaBr + CaF₂ → 2NaF + CaBr₂ </u>is a double replacement reaction because two  ions (Br⁻ from NaBr and F⁻ from CaF₂) are exchanging places with other two ions (Na⁺ from NaBr and Ca²⁺ from CaF₂) two form two new ionic compounds (NaF and CaBr₂).

Consider the equation below. Upper C a upper C upper O subscript 3 (s) double-headed arrow upper C a upper O (s) plus upper C up
stiks02 [169]

Answer:K subscript e q equals StartFraction StartBracket upper C upper O subscript 2 EndBracket StartBracket upper C a upper O EndBracket over StartBracket upper C a upper C upper O subscript 3 EndBracket EndFraction

Explanation: the answer has it's root in Law of mass action which states that; the rate of a chemical reaction is directly proportional to the product of the concentrations of the reactants raised to their respective stoichiometric coefficients.

3. If you start with 8x1025 molecules of Cl, and 25 grams of KI, how many grams of KCl would
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Percent yield = 89.1%

Explanation:

Based on the equation:

Cl₂ + 2KI → 2KCl + I₂

<em>1 mole of Cl₂ reacts with 2 moles of KI to produce to moles of KCl</em>

<em />

To solve this quesiton we must find the moles of each reactant in order to find the limiting reactant. With the limiting reactant we can find the moles of KCl and the mass:

<em>Moles Cl₂:</em>

8x10²⁵ molecules * (1mol / 6.022x10²³ molecules) = 133 moles

<em>Moles KI -Molar mass: 166.0028g/mol-</em>

25g * (1mol / 166.0028g) = 0.15 moles

Here, clarely, the KI is the limiting reactant

As 2 moles of KI produce 2 moles of KCl, the moles of KCl produced are 0.15 moles. The theoretical mass is:

0.15 moles * (74.5513g / mol) =

11.2g KCl

Percent yield is: Actual yield (10.0g) / Theoretical yield (11.2g) * 100

<h3>Percent yield = 89.1%</h3>

What is the Na+ concentration in each of the following solutions:
iren [92.7K]

Sodium Sulfate = Na2(SO4) meaning there are two ions of Na+ in one mole of Sodium Sulfate the M stands for Molarity, defined as Molarity = (moles of solute)/(Liters of solution), So if the Na2SO4 solution is 3.65M that means one Liter of has 3.65 moles of Na2SO4, the stoichiometry of Na2SO4 shows that there would be two Na+ ions in solution for every one Na2SO4.

Therefore if 3.65 moles of Na2SO4 was to dissolve, it would produce 7.3 moles of Na+, and since this is still a theoretical solution, we can assume 1 L of solution.

Finally we find [Na+] = 2*3.65 = 7.3M

Use the same logic for parts b and c
