If 125g of KClO3 is heated, what is the total mass of the products?​

Given parameters:

Mass of KClO₃  = 125g

Unknown:

Total mass of the products = ?

When  KClO₃ is heated, it thermally decomposes to KCl and O₂ according to the chemical equation below;

               2KClO₃  →  2KCl + 3O₂

All chemical equations obeys the law of conservation of matter and with this regard, we know that the amount of reactants used is the same as that of the product.

The total mass of the products must give us 125g according to this law of conservation of matter.

Now to find the masses of each product,

  1. Find the number of moles of the given reactant:

     Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

  molar mass of  KClO₃  = 39 + 35.5 + 3(16)  = 122.5g/mol

    So number of moles of KClO₃ = \frac{125}{122.5}  = 1.02moles

    2. Now, using this number of moles, find the number of moles of the products using this value;

   2 moles of KClO₃ produced 2 moles of KCl

  1.02 moles of KClO₃ will also produce 1.02moles of KCl

   2 moles of KClO₃ produced 3 moles of O₂

   1.02 moles of KClO₃ will produce   \frac{1.02 x 3} {2} mole = 1.53 moles of O₂

   3. Now find the masses of each product;

Mass  = number of moles x molar mass

  molar mass of KCl  = 39 + 35.5 = 74.5g/mol

  molar mass of O₂  = 16 x 2  = 32g/mol

  Mass of KCl  = 74.5 x 1.02  = 75.99g

  Mass of O₂  = 32 x 1.53 = 48.96g

Total mass of products = mass of KCl + Mass of O₂ = 75.99g + 48.96g

                                        = 124.95g

This value is approximately the same as that of mass of  KClO₃

Answer:

d. Cl2

sorry if I'm wrong

Cl2, as shown in the picture should have electrons in both the atoms but, in the question, the electrons are only in one of the atoms.

hope it helps :)

A 0.4322 g sample of a potassium hydroxide – lithium hydroxide mixture requires 27.10 mL of 0.3565 M HCl for its titration to th
Yuki888 [10]

The mass percent lithium hydroxide in the mixture with potassium hydroxide, calculated from the equivalence point in the titration of HCl with the mixture, is 19.0%.  

The mass percent of lithium hydroxide can be calculated with the following equation:  

\% = \frac{m_{LiOH}}{m_{t}} \times 100    (1)

Where:

m_{t} = m_{KOH} + m_{LiOH} = 0.4322 g   (2)  

We need to find the mass of LiOH.

From the titration, we can find the number of moles of the mixture since the number of moles of the acid is equal to the number of moles of the bases at the equivalence point.    

\eta_{HCl} = \eta_{LiOH} + \eta_{KOH}

0.0271 L*0.3565 \frac{mol}{L} = \eta_{LiOH} + \eta_{KOH}

\eta_{LiOH} + \eta_{KOH} = 9.66 \cdot 10^{-3} \:mol

Since mol = m/M, where M: is the molar mass and m is the mass, we have:

\frac{m_{LiOH}}{M_{LiOH}} + \frac{m_{KOH}}{M_{KOH}} = 9.66 \cdot 10^{-3} \:mol    (3)                                        

Solving equation (2) for m_{KOH} and entering into equation (3), we can find the mass of LiOH:  

\frac{m_{LiOH}}{M_{LiOH}} + \frac{0.4322 - m_{LiOH}}{M_{KOH}} = 9.66 \cdot 10^{-3} \:mol    

\frac{m_{LiOH}}{23.95 g/mol} + \frac{0.4322 g - m_{LiOH}}{56.1056 g/mol} = 9.66 \cdot 10^{-3} \:mol              

Solving for m_{LiOH}, we have:

m_{LiOH} = 0.082 g

Hence, the percent lithium hydroxide is (eq 1):

\% = \frac{0.082 g}{0.4322 g} \times 100 = 19.0 \%  

Therefore, the mass percent lithium hydroxide in the mixture is 19.0%.

You only have 15g of sodium to use for this reaction. how much copper(ii must you combine with the sodium to isolate the maximum
Eva8 [605]
The balanced chemical reaction is:

<span>CuCl2 + 2Na → 2NaCl + Cu 

We are given the amount of sodium to be used up in the reaction. This will be the starting point for our calculations.

15 g Na ( 1 mol / 22.99 ) ( 1 mol Cul2 / 2 mol Na ) (134.45 g / 1 mol ) = 43.86 g CuCl2 needed to be able to obtain the maximum amount of copper.</span>
