The correct answer is - A) The major constituents of air are gaseous elements.

With the statement ''the major constituents of air are gaseous elements'' we can easily conclude that the air is a mixture. The reason for that is that we have a plural usage of the word element, elements, which mean that there are multiple elements that make up the air.

The air is indeed predominantly a mixture of gaseous elements. The most abundant gas in the air being the nitrogen with 78.9%, oxygen with 20.95%, argon 0.93%, and carbon dioxide 0.04%, with lesser amounts of other gases also be present in it. The water vapor is also present in the air, though it is variable, being around 1% at sea level, but only 0.4% over the entire atmosphere.

For the reaction 2kclo3(s)→2kcl(s)+3o2(g) calculate how many grams of oxygen form when each quantity of reactant completely reac
barxatty [35]
First, we need to get the molar mass of:

KClO3 = 39.1 + 35.5 + 3*16 = 122.6 g/mol

KCl =39.1 + 35.5 = 74.6 g/mol

O2 = 16*2 = 32 g/mol

From the given equation we can see that:

every 2 moles of KClO3 gives 3 moles of O2

when mass = moles * molar mass

∴ the mass of KClO3 = (2mol of KClO3*122.6g/mol) = 245.2 g

and the mass of O2 then = 3 mol * 32g/mol = 96 g

so, 245.2 g of KClO3 gives 96 g of O2

A) 2.72 g of KClO3: 

when 245.2 KClO3 gives → 96 g  O2

   2.72 g KClO3 gives →  X

X = 2.72 g KClO3 * 96 g O2/245.2 KClO3

    = 1.06 g of O2

B) 0.361 g KClO3:

when 245.2 g KClO3 gives → 96 g O2

     0.361 g KClO3 gives → X

∴ X = 0.361g KClO3 * 96 g / 245.2 g

       = 0.141 g of O2

C) 83.6 Kg KClO3:

when 245.2 g KClO3 gives → 96 g O2

       83.6 Kg KClO3 gives  →  X

∴X = 83.6 Kg* 96 g O2 /245.2 g KClO3

     = 32.7 Kg of O2

D) 22.4 mg of KClO3:

when 245.2 g KClO3 gives → 96 g O2

        22.4 mg KClO3 gives → X

∴X = 22.4 mg * 96 g O2 / 245.2 g KClO3

      = 8.8 mg of O2

An element has three naturally occurring isotopes. ten percent (.10) occurs as 55^x, fifteen percent (.15) occurs as isotope 56^
Leviafan [203]
The average atomic weight is, from the name itself, the average weight of all its naturally occurring isotopes. All you have to do is multiple the abundance of each isotope with its individual mass, then add them altogether.

Mass = (0.10*55)+(0.15*56)+(.75*57)
<em>Mass = 56.65 amu</em>

Which gas law states that the pressure of a gas decreases when volume is increased and the temperature is unchanged
Nesterboy [21]

Answer: Boyle's law

Explanation: It states that pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to the volume of a gas at constant temperature.

P∝\frac{1}{V}       at constant temperature

or If the pressure of gas is decreased, the volume increases if the temperature is unchanged and If the pressure of gas is increased, the volume decreases if the temperature is unchanged.

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

ICE Princess25 [194]
Triglyceride is a molecule constituted by one one molecule of glycerol and 3 molecules of fatty acids. The structure of a glycerol is like a letter "E", where the vertical line ( | ) is the glycerol and the three horizontal lines are long chains of organic acids, each with one COOH group, called fatty acids.<span> The answer is that the other 3 molecules that make up a triglyceride are fatty acids.</span>

Which of the following does not apply to water molecules?
serg [7]

Answer:

It is the last one.

Explanation:

Water molecules are polar, they have cohesive properties, and water is less dense when it is solid than when it is a liquid, that is why ice floats in liquid water. However, water is a very good solvent, it can dissolve many solids, including sugar, salt, and other hydrophilic substances.
