The reaction between potassium chlorate and red phosphorus takes place when you strike a match on a matchbox. If you were to rea

ct 93.3 g of potassium chlorate with excess red phosphorus (P4), to produce tetraphosphorus decaoxide and potassium chloride, what mass of tetraphosphorus decaoxide would be produed?

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of tetraphosphorus decaoxide formed is 64.81g

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}   ....(1)

  • <u>For potassium chlorate:</u>

Given mass of potassium chlorate = 93.3 g

Molar mass of potassium chlorate = 122.55 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Moles of potassium chlorate}=\frac{93.3g}{122.55g/mol}=0.761mol

For the given chemical reaction:

10KClO_3+12P\rightarrow 3P_4O_{10}+10KCl

Red phosphorus is given in excess . So, it is considered as an excess reagent and potassium chlorate is considered as a limiting reagent.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

10 moles of potassium chlorate reacts with 3 moles of tetraphosphorus decaoxide

So, 0.761 moles of potassium chlorate will react with = \frac{3}{10}\times 0.761=0.2283moles of tetraphosphorus decaoxide

Calculating the mass of tetraphosphorus decaoxide by using equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of tetraphosphorus decaoxide = 283.886 g/mol

Moles of tetraphosphorus decaoxide = 0.2283 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.2283mol=\frac{\text{Mass of tetraphosphorus decaoxide}}{283.886g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of tetraphosphorus decaoxide}=64.81g

Hence, the mass of tetraphosphorus decaoxide formed is 64.81g

Answer:

pH=2.34

Explanation:

HBr  -> H  + Br

The dissociation it's complete, for that reason the concentration of the products is the same of HBr

[H+]=[Br-]=0.00234 M

pH= - log (0.00234)=2.34
