Rdaioactive  decay results in the formation of a different element. Plutonium decays by emitting alpha emission to form uranium. Thermal energy is emitted as the alpha particles are absorbed and the kinetic energy  is converted to heat. The amount of energy is computed by the formula;
E = mc²
E = 0.000046 × (3 ×10^8) 
 Energy = 4.14 ×10^13 Joules

Answer:

5 × 10^-4 L

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

2KClO3 = 2KCl + 3O2

Number of moles of KClO3 = 13.5g/122.5 g / mol = 0.11 moles

From the stoichiometry of the reaction;

2 moles of KClO3 yields 3 moles of O2

0.11 moles of KClO3 yields 0.11 × 3/2 = 0.165 moles of oxygen gas

From the ideal gas equation;

PV= nRT

P= 85.4 × 10^4 KPa

V=?

n= 0.165

R= 8.314 J K-1 mol-1

T= 40+273 = 313K

V= 0.165 ×8.134 × 313/85.4 × 10^4

V=429.4/85.4 × 10^4

V= 5 × 10^-4 L
