Answer:

m_{KClO_3}=64.4gKClO_3

Explanation:

Hello,

At first, the undergoing chemical reaction is:

2KClO_3(s)-->2KCl(s)+3O_2(s)

As 15.0 L of oxygen were produced, one computes this amount in moles considering STP conditions (0°C and 1 atm) for the ideal gas equation as shown below:

n_{O_2}=\frac{PV}{RT} =\frac{1atm*15.0L}{0.082 \frac{atm*L}{mol*K} *273.15K}=0.670molO_2

Now, since those moles are the actual obtained moles, one computes the theoretical moles of oxygen which are more precisely associated with the needed grams of potassium chlorate as follows:

n_{O_2}^{Theoretical}=\frac{0.670molO_2}{0.85} =0.788molO_2

Finally, we apply the stoichiometry to determine the moles of potassium chlorate as shown below:

m_{KClO_3}=0.788molO_2*\frac{2molKClO_3}{3molO_2} *\frac{122.55gKClO_3}{1molKClO_3} \\m_{KClO_3}=64.4gKClO_3

Best regards.

 <span>2KClO3 = 2KCl + 3O2. 

10 L are 10/22.4 moles as 1 mole of gas at STP occupies 22.4 L so 0.446 moles but you only get 95% yield so you need to make more than 0.446 moles -- you need 0.446/0.95 = 0.470 moles. 

Two moles KClO3 give 3 moles O2 so you need 0.470*(2/3) moles KClO3 = 0.313 moles KClO3 and that has molar mass = 39 + 35.5 + 3*16 = 122.5 g so in g 0.313*122.5 = 38.4 g KClO3</span><span>

I need to check some chemistry questions. Help with any question is appreciated! :) Please include an explanation with your conc
finlep [7]

1. 4.67 kg; 2. 4.8 ×10^5 kg; 3. 0.106 cm^3; 4. 1.7 g/cm^3

<em>Q1. Mass of Hg </em>

Mass = 345 mL × (13.53 g/1 mL) = 4670 g = 4.67 kg

<em>Q2. Mass of Pb </em>

<em>Step 1</em>. Calculate the <em>volume of the Pb</em>.

<em>V = lwh</em> = 6.0 m × 3.5 m × 2.0 m = 42.0 m^3

<em>Step 2</em>. Calculate the <em>mass of the Pb</em>.

Mass = 42.0 m^3 × (11 340 kg/1 m^3) = 4.8 × 10^5 kg

<em>Q3. Volume of displaced water </em>

Volume of Ag = 0.987 g × (1 cm^3/9.320 g) = 0.106 cm^3

<em>Archimedes</em>: volume of displaced water = volume of Ag = <em>0.106 cm^3</em>

<em>4. Density of metal </em>

<em>Step 1</em>. Convert <em>ounces to grams </em>

Mass = 3.35 oz × (28.35 g/1 oz) = 94.97 g

<em>Step 2</em>. Calculate the <em>volume in cubic inches </em>

<em>V = lwh</em> = 3.0 in × 2.5 in × 0.45 in = 3.38 in^3

<em>Step 3</em>. Convert <em>cubic inches to cubic centimetres</em><em> </em>

<em>V</em> = 3.38 in^3 × (2.54 cm/1 in)^3 = 55.3 cm^3

<em>Step 4</em>. Calculate the <em>density</em>

ρ = <em>m</em>/<em>V</em> = (94.97 g/55.3 cm^3) = 1.7 g/cm^3 (magnesium?)

Why are hydrogen, lithium, and sodium classified as reactive elements?
Sergeu [11.5K]
<span>The alkali metals and hydrogen are reactive because they have only one electron to give in order to complete their valence shell. It is easier to give that one electron so when given the opportunity they will. This means they will react with anything polar or willing to take an electron.</span>
