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

Chemistry

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

2. Write the chemical equations for the neutralization reactions that occurred when HCL and NaOH were added to the buffer soluti
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

HCI(aq)+CH3COONa(s) ----> CH3COOH(aq)+NaCl(s)

NaOH(aq)+CH3COOH(aq) ----> CH3COONa(s)+H2O(l)

Explanation:

A buffer is a solution that resists changes in acidity or alkalinity. A buffer is able to neutralize a little amount of acid or base thereby maintaining the pH of the system at a steady value.

A buffer may be an aqueous solution of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid.

The equations for the neutralizations that occurred upon addition of HCl or NaOH are;

HCI(aq)+CH3COONa(s) ----> CH3COOH(aq)+NaCl(s)

NaOH(aq)+CH3COOH(aq) ----> CH3COONa(s)+H2O(l)
