NaHCO3 is the right answer
Explanation:
In order to be able to calculate the volume of oxygen gas produced by this reaction, you need to know the conditions for pressure and temperature.
Since no mention of those conditions was made, I'll assume that the reaction takes place at STP, Standard Temperature and Pressure.
STP conditions are defined as a pressure of
100 kPa
and a temperature of
0
∘
C
. Under these conditions for pressure and temperature, one mole of any ideal gas occupies
22.7 L
- this is known as the molar volume of a gas at STP.
So, in order to find the volume of oxygen gas at STP, you need to know how many moles of oxygen are produced by this reaction.

Notice that you have a

mole ratio between potassium chlorate and oxygen gas.
This tells you that the reaction will always produce
3
2
times more moles of oxygen gas than the number of moles of potassium chlorate that underwent decomposition.
Use potassium chlorate's molar mass to determine how many moles you have in that

a solution in chemistry is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. In such a mixture, a solute is a substance dissolved in another substance, known as a solvent.
Answer:
Gallium-72
Explanation:
The elements are identified by the number of protons of the atom, which is its atomic number.
In this case the number of protons 39 (atomic number 39) permit you to identify the element as gallium.
Now, to identify the isotope you tell the name of the element and add the mass number.
The mass number is the sum of the protons and the neutrons
In this case, the number of neutrons is the original 39 plus the 2 added suddenly, i.e. 39 + 2 = 41, so the mass number is 31 + 41 = 72
Therefore, the isotope is gallium - 72.
