In 2 days there are 48 hours
to find the average speed per hour, divide 2,387 by 48
Which gets you the answer 49.72
Which rounds up to 50
The average speed is 50mph
First, balance the reaction:
_ KClO₃ ==> _ KCl + _ O₂
As is, there are 3 O's on the left and 2 O's on the right, so there needs to be a 2:3 ratio of KClO₃ to O₂. Then there are 2 K's and 2 Cl's among the reactants, so we have a 1:1 ratio of KClO₃ to KCl :
2 KClO₃ ==> 2 KCl + 3 O₂
Since we start with a known quantity of O₂, let's divide each coefficient by 3.
2/3 KClO₃ ==> 2/3 KCl + O₂
Next, look up the molar masses of each element involved:
• K: 39.0983 g/mol
• Cl: 35.453 g/mol
• O: 15.999 g/mol
Convert 10 g of O₂ to moles:
(10 g) / (31.998 g/mol) ≈ 0.31252 mol
The balanced reaction shows that we need 2/3 mol KClO₃ for every mole of O₂. So to produce 10 g of O₂, we need
(2/3 (mol KClO₃)/(mol O₂)) × (0.31252 mol O₂) ≈ 0.20835 mol KClO₃
KClO₃ has a total molar mass of about 122.549 g/mol. Then the reaction requires a mass of
(0.20835 mol) × (122.549 g/mol) ≈ 25.532 g
of KClO₃.
The statemengt is <em>false</em>. Electromgnetic waves do not require a medium to transfer energy. They can transfer energy through vacuum (empty space with nothing in it). If electrimagnetic waves needed a medium to move through from place to place, then we could never see the sun, and also it would get very cold here.
