Answer:

10.56g

Explanation:

From the reaction equation, we can see that it is unbalanced. In the balanced state, 2 moles of KClO3 will yield 3 moles oxygen.

Let's calculate the actual number of moles now. We first divide the mass of the KClO3 by the molar mass. Molar mass of KClO3 = 39 + 35.5 + 3(16) = 122.5g/mol

The number of moles is thus 26.4/122.5 = 0.22 mole

If 2 moles KClO3 gave 3 moles O2, this means 0.22 moles will give (0.22 × 3)/2 = 0.33 mole

To calculate the mass of oxygen formed, we multiply the molecular mass of oxygen molecule by the number of moles

The molecular mass of oxygen molecule = 16 × 2 = 32g/mol

The mass formed = 32 × 0.33 = 10.56g

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Copper(II) nitrate and potassium hydroxide are soluble ionic compounds, which implies that they dissociate completely when dissolved in water to produce ions. ... You can thus say that the balanced chemical equation that describes this double ... Cu(NO3)2(aq)+2KOH(aq)→Cu(OH)2(s)⏐⏐↓+2KNO3(aq).

Water is a good choice of solvent because it is benign, cheap and readily available. Identify two characteristics that make wate
Mila [183]

Answer:

Two characteristics that make water a good choice for the recrystallization solvent for benzoic acid are

  1. Low solubility for benzoic acid at room temperature
  2. Less expensive

Explanation:

Characteristics of a Good Recrystallization Solvent:

  1. Cheap.
  2. High volatility.
  3. No reaction with substrate to be made pure.
  4. Insoluble impurities should not be dissolced by the olvent at all temperatures.
  5. At room temperature the solvent should have high solubility for soluble impurities well
  6. At  room temperature the substance to be purified should be insoluble in the solvent.

As such water has both low solubility for benzoic acid at room temperature and water is cheap or readily available

If 6.00 g of the unknown compound contained 0.200 mol of C and 0.400 mol of H, how many moles of oxygen, O, were in the sample?
Arada [10]

Convert moles to mass.

mass C = 0.2 mol * 12 g / mol = 2.4 g

mass H = 0.4 mol * 1 g / mol = 0.4 g

So mass left for O = 6 g – (2.4 g + 0.4 g) = 3.2 g

 

Calculating for moles O given mass:

moles O = 3.2 g / (16 g / mol) = 0.2 moles

 

Answer:

<span>0.2 moles O</span>

PLEASE HELP :"( DUE NOW!!
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is  

[CH4][H2O]/[CO][H2]3

Option 3 is correct

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

For the equation aA + bB ⇆ cC + dD

The equilibrium constant is [C]^c * [D]^d / [A]^a*[B]^b

Step 2: Calculate the equilibrium constant Kc

CO+3H2⇌CH4+H2O

Kc = [H2O][CH4] / [CO][H2]³

The correct answer is  

[CH4][H2O]/[CO][H2]3

Option 3 is correct
