Answer:
73.4% is the percent yield
Explanation:
2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂
This is a decomposition reaction, where 2 moles of potassium chlorate decompose to 2 moles of potassium chloride and 3 moles of oxygen.
We determine the moles of salt: 400 g . 1. mol /122.5g= 3.26 moles of KClO₃
In the theoretical yield of the reaction we say:
2 moles of potassium chlorate can produce 3 moles of oxygen
Therefore, 3.26 moles of salt, may produce (3.26 . 3) /2 = 4.89 moles of O₂
The mass of produced oxygen is: 4.89 mol . 32 g /1mol = 156.6g
But, we have produced 115 g. Let's determine the percent yield of reaction
Percent yield = (Produced yield/Theoretical yield) . 100
(115g / 156.6g) . 100 = 73.4 %
The correct answer is C.
On the left:
2 carbon+ 2 oxygen+ 2 oxygen
On the right:
2 carbon+ 4 oxygen (remember to multiply the subscript by the coefficient)
The correct answer is option B. The most dense phase of matter is the solid phase and the least dense are gases. However, there is an exception. Water is the exception. Solid water or ice is less dense than the liquid phase therefore it floats on liquid water.
Answer:
2.7005 g/cm²
explanation: as we know density=mass/volume
