One way of knowing that oxygen was the gas removed from the volume of air and not another is to know what the volume of air is made of first. When the composition of the volume of air is already identified, then next would be the process of separating these elements from each other and as to which is to be separated first. This would usually lead to knowing their masses, their boiling and freezing points, the temperatures at which they condense, and so on. This is to identify their differences to each other and use those differences to successfully separate those elements to each other.
Answer:
10.3 g of oxygen are formed when 26.4 g of potassium chlorate is heated
Explanation:
This is the balanced equation:
2KClO₃(s) → 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)
Ratio beteween the salt and oxygen is 2:3
Molar mass of KClO₃ = 122.55 g/m
Let's find out the moles of salt
Mass / Molar mass
26.4 g /122.55 g/m = 0.215 moles
So, this is the final rule of three:
If 2 moles of KClO₃ make 3 moles of oxygen
0.215 moles of KClO₃ make (0.215 .3) /2 = 0.323 moles of O₂ are produced
Molar mass O₂ = 32 g/m
Moles . molar mass = mass
0.323 m . 32g/m = 10.3 g
Sugar and water are made with tiny particles. They are both made from molecules and atoms.
Particles are smaller, a reactant would be exposed to more cobalt atoms. Causing the reaction to happen quicker than with larger particles.
