What gas is released when potassium permanganate is decomposed

1 answer:

6 0

Potassium permanganate will decompose into potassium manganate, manganese dioxide and oxygen gas: 2KMnO4 → K2MnO4 + MnO2 + O. When Potassium permanganate is heated it turns to Potassium manganate, manganese dioxide and oxygen gas

C16H32O2(aq) --> 16CO2(g) + 16H2O(l) ... said its wrong though?
This is because you haven't added any oxygen needed for the combustion, so your equation does'nt balance. Also a solution in water [aq] doesn't burn! 
Try C16H32O2(s) + 23O2(g) --> 16CO2(g) + 16H2O(l)

A block of aluminum weighing 140 g is cooled from 98.4°C to 62.2°C with the release of 1080 joules of heat. From this data, calc

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Specific heat of a substance is the value that describe how the added heat energy of substance has the impact on its temperature.

Unit is $(\frac {J}{Kg.K})$

C = Q/m. ∆T

C – Specific heat $(\frac {J}{Kg.K})$ 

Q- heat energy (J)

M – Mass (Kg)

∆T- change in temperature (K) 

Explanation:

Given data:

M= 140 g = 0.14 Kg

Q – 1080 Joules.

∆T – 98.4 – 62.2 = 36.2

Substituting the given data in Equation

Specific heat of Aluminium = $\frac {1080}{(0.14 \times 36.2)} = 213.10 (\frac {J}{Kg.K})$

Explain the factors that have caused the evolution and diversity of organisms

Illusion [34]

Evolution and diversity result from the interactions between organisms and their environments and the consequences of these interactions over long periods of time. Organisms continually adapt to their environments, and the diversity of environments that exists promotes a diversity of organisms adapted to them. In recent years, new techniques and approaches have opened exciting new avenues of investigation of the processes that generate evolution and diversity.

Atmospheric pressure at the summit of mount everest is about one third the pressure at sea level, which is 760 mm hg. if oxygen

vichka [17]

Atmospheric pressure at sea level is 760 mmHg.
We have been told that at the summit the pressure is only one third the pressure at sea level.
Then the pressure at the mountain top is $\frac{760}{3}$ mmHg
Air is made of a mixture of gases. the pressure that each gas exerts individually contributes to the total pressure of the system. The pressure that each gas exerts is the partial pressure of that gas which depends on the mole fraction of that gas or percentage composition of the individual gas.
Partial pressure of Oxygen - total pressure x percentage composition
Therefore pO₂ - $\frac{760 * 0.21}{3}$ = 53.2 mmHg
Answer is 53 mmHg
