The balanced equation above will be;
2 KClO3 = 2 KCl + 3 O2
Therefore, the coefficients are; 2,2,3
Which means 2 KClO3 will create 2 KCl and 3 oxygen molecules.

From the balanced equation 2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2, the coefficients are the following:
coefficient 2 in front of potassium chlorate KClO3
coefficient 2 in front of potassium chloride KCl
coefficient 3 in front of oxygen molecule O2

We got this balanced equation by identifying the number of atoms of each element that we have in the given equation KClO3 → KCl + O2.
Looking at the subscripts of each atom on the reactant side and on the product side, we have
KClO3 → KCl + O2
   K=1 K=1
Cl=1 Cl=1
O=3 O=2

We can see that the oxygens are not balanced. We add a coefficient 2 to the 3 oxygen atoms on the left side and another coefficient 3 to the 2 oxygen
atoms on the right side to balance the oxygens:
2KClO3 → KCl + 3O2
The coefficient 2 in front of potassium chlorate KClO3 multiplied by the subscript 3 of the oxygen atoms on the left side indicates 6 oxygen atoms just as the coefficient 3 multiplied by the subscript 2 on the right side indicates 6 oxygen atoms.

The number of potassium K atoms and chloride Cl atoms have changed as well:
2KClO3 → KCl + 3O2
   K=2 K=1
   Cl=2 Cl=1
    O=6 O=6

We now have two potassium K atoms and two chloride Cl atoms on the reactant side, so we add a coefficient 2 to the potassium chloride KCl on the product side:
2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2, which is our final balanced equation.
K=2 K=2
Cl=2 Cl=2
O=6 O=6
The potassium, chlorine, and oxygen atoms are now balanced.

A mixture of gases with a pressure of 800.0 mm hg contains 60% nitrogen and 40% oxygen by volume. what is the partial pressure o

klasskru [66]

Hello!

We have the following statement data:

Data:
$P_{Total} = 800 mmHg$
$P\% N_{2} = 60\%$
$P\% O_{2} = 40\%$
$P_{partial} = ? (mmHg)$

As the percentage is the mole fraction multiplied by 100:

 $P = X_{ O_{2} }*100$

The mole fraction will be the percentage divided by 100, thus:
What is the partial pressure of oxygen in this mixture?

$X_{ O_{2} } = \frac{P}{100}$
$X_{ O_{2}} = \frac{40}{100}$
$\boxed{X_{ O_{2}} = 0.4}$

To calculate the partial pressure of the oxygen gas, it is enough to use the formula that involves the pressures (total and partial) and the fraction in quantity of matter:

In relation to $O_{2}$ :

$\frac{P O_{2} }{P_{total}} = X_O_{2}$
$\frac{P O_{2} }{800} = 0.4$
$P_O_{2} = 0.4*800$
$\boxed{\boxed{P_O_{2} = 320\:mmHg}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

Answer:
b. 320.0 mm hg

Which layer of Earth has partially melted material that moves the tectonic plates?

beks73 [17]

The layer of Earth that has partially melted material that moves the tectonic plates is Mantle. The correct option is C.

<h3>What are the layers of the Earth?</h3>

The Earth is divided into three layers: the crust, the mantle, and the core. This is the earth's outer layer, and it is composed primarily of solid rock, primarily basalt and granite. Oceanic crust and continental crust are the two types of crust.
