Why does thermal energy decreases when potassium is dissolved in water​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Levart [38]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The process of dissolving can be endothermic (temperature goes down) or exothermic (temperature goes up).

When water dissolves a substance, the water molecules attract and “bond” to the particles (molecules or ions) of the substance causing the particles to separate from each other.

The “bond” that a water molecule makes is not a covalent or ionic bond. It is a strong attraction caused by water’s polarity.

It takes energy to break the bonds between the molecules or ions of the solute.

Energy is released when water molecules bond to the solute molecules or ions.

If it takes more energy to separate the particles of the solute than is released when the water molecules bond to the particles, then the temperature goes down (endothermic).

If it takes less energy to separate the particles of the solute than is released when the water molecules bond to the particles, then the temperature goes up (exothermic).

Suppose you are provided with a 30.86 g sample of potassium chlorate to perform this experiment. What is the mass of oxygen you
oee [108]

Answer:

The mass of oxygen is 12.10 g.

Explanation:

The decomposition reaction of potassium chlorate is the following:

2KClO₃(s) → 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)

We need to find the number of moles of KClO₃:

\eta_{KClO_{3}} = \frac{m}{M}

Where:

m: is the mass = 30.86 g

M: is the molar mass = 122.55 g/mol

\eta_{KClO_{3}} = \frac{30.86 g}{122.55 g/mol} = 0.252 moles                                      

Now, we can find the number of moles of O₂ knowing that the ratio between KClO₃ and O₂ is 2:3

\eta_{O_{2}} = \frac{3}{2}*0.252 moles = 0.378 moles

Finally, the mass of O₂ is:

m = 0.378 moles*32 g/mol = 12.10 g

Therefore, the mass of oxygen is 12.10 g.

I hope it helps you!

Find the volume of a box with length 25 cm, height 25 cm and width 1.0 m. Volume
mariarad [96]

The volume of a box with length 25 cm, height 25 cm and width 1.0 m is 0.0625m³.

Volume of the box which is a cuboid can be calculated by multiplying the length, breadth and height of the given box.

Volume of the box is given by the product of the length of the box, Height of the box and Breadth or width of the box.

Since, the box is a cuboid, hence the formula is given by the products of length, breadth and height.

Given,

length of the box= 25cm = 0.25m

Height of the box =25cm = 0.25m

width of the box= 1m

Volume = length × width × height of box

Volume = 0.25 × 0.25 × 1

Volume = 0.0625m³

The volume of the box is 0.0625m³.
