Answer:

9.79g of O2

Explanation:

So this question you are trying to go from g of KCLO3 to grams of oxygen. There is no direct conversion so you have to utilize multiple process.

25.0g KCLO3 * \frac{1mol KCLO3}{122.55 gKCLO3} * \frac{3mol O2}{2 mol KCLO3} * \frac{32.00g O2}{1mol O2}

=9.79 g of O2

So first you go from g of KCLO3 to moles of KCLO3  by using molar mass of KCLO3. Then you use mol:mol ratio from balanced equation to go to moles of O2, and finally use molar mass of O2 to go to grams of O2.

Answer:

approximately 15.1 grams.

Explanation:

The key to chemistry is to change everything to moles. Then when you have the answer in moles change the answer back to grams, liters, or whatever you want.

change 25 grams of potassium chlorate to moles.

calculate the gram molecular mass of potassium chlorate.

Chlorate is Cl with 3 oxygens. ate = saturated. Chlorine has seven valance electrons when it is saturated six of these electrons are used by oxygen ( 2 electrons per oxygen) leaving only 1 electron.

1 K x 39 grams/mole

+1 Cl x 35.4 grams/ mole

+3 O x 16 grams/ mole

= 122.4 grams / mole Potassium Chlorate

25

122.4

= moles.

2.05 moles of Potassium Chlorate.

There is a 1:1 mole ratio. 1 mole of Potassium Chlorate will produce 1 mole of Potassium Chloride.

2.05 moles of Potassium Chlorate will produce 2.05 moles of Potassium Chloride.

Find the gram molecular mass of Potassium Chloride.

1 K x 39 = 39

+1 Cl x 35.4 = 35.4

= 74.4 grams / mole.

2.05 moles x 74.4 grams/ mole = 15.2 grams

Hope it helps :)

Is a covalent bond the same as an atomic compound? Please explain why and if not, please explain the difference.
dezoksy [38]
In an ionic bond, one atom essentially donate an electron to stabilize the other atom. A molecule bond is made when two or more atoms form a chemical bond, linking them together. The two types of bonds are ionic bonds and covalent bonds.

During nuclear decay, if the atomic number decreases by one but the mass number is unchanged, the radiation emitted is
Artemon [7]

Answer:

A beta particle

Explanation:

The radioactive particle must undergo a beta decay to have the mass number unchanged but the atomic number to have decreased by one.

This type of beta decay results in the emission of a positron which is a type of beta particle. It resembles an electron but it has a positive charge of 1.

How much Ca(NO3)2 should be weighed out to have 0.650 mol?A) 66.4 g.B) 97.68.C) 107 g.D) 133 g.E) 165 g.
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

C) 107 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the molar mass of Ca(NO₃)₂

We can calculate the molar mass of Ca(NO₃)₂ by adding the masses of its elements.

M = 1 × Ca + 2 × N + 2 × 3 × O

M = 1 × 40.08 g/mol + 2 × 14.01 g/mol + 6 × 16.00 g/mol

M = 164.10 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.650 moles of Ca(NO₃)₂

We multiply the number of moles by the molar mass.

0.650 mol × 164.10 g/mol = 107 g

When 131.0 mL of water at 26.0°C is mixed with 81.0 mL of water at 85.0°C, what is the final temperature? (Assume that no heat i
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

63.52°C is the final temperature

Explanation:

1) 131.0 mL of water at 26.0°C

Mass of water = m

Volume of the water =131.0 mL

Density of the water = 1.00 g/mL

Density=1.00 g/mL=\frac{m}{131.0 mL}

m = 131.0 g

Initial temperature of the water = T_i = 26.0°C

Final temperature of the water = T_f

Change in temperature ,\Delta T=T_f-T_i

Heat absorbed 131.0 g of water = Q

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T

2) 81.0 mL of water at 85.0°C

Mass of water = m'

Volume of the water =81.0 mL

Density of the water = 1.00 g/mL

Density=1.00 g/mL=\frac{m'}{81.0 mL}

m' = 81.0 g

Initial temperature of the water = T_i' = 85.0°C

Final temperature of the water = T_f'

Change in temperature ,\Delta T'=T_f'-T_i'

Heat lost by 81.0 g of water = Q'

Q'=m'\times c\times \Delta T'

After mixing both liquids the final temperature will become equal fro both liquids.

T_f=T_f'

Since, heat lost by the water at higher temperature will be equal to heat absorbed by the water at lower temperature.

Q=-Q' (Law of conservation of energy.)

Let the specific heat of water be c

m\times c\times \Delta T=m'\times c\times \Delta T'

131.0 g\times c(T_f-26^oC)=-(81.0.0 g\times c(T_f-85^oC))

T_f=63.52^oC

63.52°C is the final temperature
