Answer:

32.6%

Explanation:

Equation of reaction

2KClO₃ (s) → 2KCl (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Molar mass of 2KClO₃ = 245.2 g/mol ( 122.6 × 2)

Molar volume of Oxygen at s.t.p = 22.4L / mol

since the gas was collected over water,

total pressure = pressure of water vapor + pressure of oxygen gas

0.976 = 0.04184211 atm + pressure of oxygen gas at 30°C

pressure of oxygen = 0.976 - 0.04184211 = 0.9341579 atm = P1

P2 = 1 atm, V1 = 789ml, V2 = unknown, T1 = 303K, T2 = 273k at s.t.p

Using ideal gas equation

$\frac{P1V1}{T1}$ = $\frac{P2V2}{T2}$

V2 = $\frac{P1V1T2}{T1P2}$

V2 = 664.1052 ml

245.2 yielded 67.2 molar volume of oxygen

0.66411 will yield = $\frac{245.2 * 0.66411}{67.2}$ = 2.4232 g

percentage of potassium chlorate in the original mixture = $\frac{2.4232 * 100}{7.44}$ = 32.6%

Question 5 options: The cell potential for an electrochemical cell with a Zn, Zn2 half-cell and an Al, Al3 half-cell is _____ V.

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The voltage is $E_{cell} = 0.944 \ V$

Explanation:

Generally the half reaction for Zn, Zn2 half-cell is mathematically represented as

$Zn_{(s)}$ ⇔ $Zn^{2+}_{ (aq)} + 2e^-$ (reference study academy)

and the electric potential for this is a constant value

$E_{zn } = -0.7618 \ V$

Generally the half reaction for Al, Al3 half-cell is mathematically represented as

$Al^{3+} _{(aq)} + 3e^-$ ⇔ $Al_{(s)}$

and the electric potential for this is constant value

$E_{Al } = -1.662 \ V$

Therefore the cell potential for an electrochemical cell is mathematically represented as

$E_{cell} = E_{zn } - E_{Al }$

substituting values

$E_{cell} = -0.718 - (-1.662)$

$E_{cell} = 0.944 \ V$

A solution has a pH of 2.5. what is the H+

romanna [79]

Answer: The concentration of $H^+$ in the solution is $3.16\times 10^{-3}M$

Explanation:

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration present in the solution.

$pH=-\log [H^+]$ .....(1)

We are given:

pH of solution = 2.5

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$2.5=-\log [H^+]$

$[H^+]=10^{-2.5}$

$[H^+]=3.16\times 10^{-3}M$

Hence, the concentration of $H^+$ in the solution is $3.16\times 10^{-3}M$

Zinc is a pure substance. How could you make a mixture from a 1.0-g zinc disc?

anygoal [31]

Answer:

D)Coat the disc with another pure substance, such as copper.

Explanation:

To make a mixture of the zinc, simply coat it with another pure substance such as copper. This will result in a mixture.

What then is a mixture?

They are impure substances with indefinite composition.
They retain their physical properties
their constituents reacts differently to changed conditions
They can easily be separated into constituents by physical methods.

We can see that coating the copper on the zinc does not alter the physical properties of the metal.

Most times, the copper will wear off and leave behind the zinc.

The metal coated can easily be removed and this signifies just a physical mix.
