A student thermally decomposed a 0.150 gram sample of impure potassium chlorate. Manganese dioxide was used as a catalyst in the

reaction. The student collected 43.60 mL of oxygen gas over water in a eudiometer. Potassium chloride was the other product of the reaction. The temperature and pressure at collection time were 20.00 oC and 762.10 mm Hg respectively. The water level in the eudiometer was 4.22 cm below the outside water level in the beaker.
1) What is the corrected pressure of the dry oxygen gas?
2) What is the volume in mL, of the dry oxygen gas at STP conditions?
3) How many molecules of oxygen were collected?
4) what is the percent purity of the original potassium chlorate sample?

Answer:

1. Vapor pressure of dry oxygen gas = 747.68 torr

2. Volume at STP = 39.97 mL

3. Number of oxygen gas molecules = 1.074 × 10²¹ molecules

4. Percent purity of KClO3 = 97.3 %

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below :

2 KClO3 (s) ------> 2 KCl (s) + 3 O2 (g)

1) Since the water level in the eudiometer was below the outside water level in the beaker,

Vapor pressure of dry oxygen gas = Total pressure + pressure due to difference in water levels - vapor pressure of water

Vapor pressure of water at 20 °C is 17.535 mm (torr).

Pressure due to difference in water level = 4.22 cm × 10mm/cm / 13.534 (13.534 is the density of mercury) = 3.118 mm (torr).

Vapor pressure of dry oxygen gas = 762.10 torr + 3.118 torr - 17.535 torr

Vapor pressure of dry oxygen gas = 747.68 torr

2) P₁ = 747.68 torr; V₁ = 43.60 ml; T1 = 20 °C + 273.15 = 293.15 K

P₂ = 760 torr; T₂ = 273.15 K; V₂ = ?

Using the general gas equation = P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

V2₂= P₁V₁T₂ / P₂T₁

V₂ = (747.68 × 43.60 × 273.15 ) / (760 × 293.15)

V₂ = 39.97 ml

Volume of dry oxygen gas at STP = 39.97 mL

3) Volume of oxygen gas at STP 39.97 mL = 0.03997 L

Number of moles of oxygen gas in 0.03997 L = volume of gas at STP /molarvolume at STP

Number of moles of oxygen gas = 0.03997/22.4 L

Number of molecules of oxygen gas = 0.03997/22.4 L × 6.03 × 10²³ molecules

Number of oxygen gas molecules = 1.074 × 10²¹ molecules

e) Number of moles of oxygen gas = 0.03997/22.4 = 0.001784 moles

From the equation, mole ratio of oxygen gas and potassium chlorate is 3 : 2

Moles KClO3 = 2/3 × 0.001784 moles = 0.001189 moles

Molar mass of KClO3 = 39 + 35.5 + 3 × 16 = 122.5 g

Actual mass of KClO3 decomposed = 122.5 grams × 0.001189 mole = 0.146 grams

Percent purity = (actual mass KClO3 decomposed / sample mass of impure KClO3) × 100%

Percent purity = (0.146/0.150) × 100% = 97.3 %

If 9.85 grams of copper metal react with 31.0 grams of silver nitrate, how many grams of copper nitrate can be formed and how ma
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:-

29.07 gram of Cu(NO3)2 will be formed.

4.756 grams of AgNO3 will be left over when the reaction is complete.

Explanation:-

Atomic weight of Cu = 63.546 g mol -1

Molecular weight of AgNO3 = 107.87 x 1 + 14 x 1 + 16 x 3

= 169.87 g mol-1

Number of moles of Copper = 9.85 gram / (63.546 g mol-1)

= 0.155 mol

Number of moles of AgNO3 = 31 gram / ( 169.87 g mol-1)

= 0.183 mol

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is

Cu + AgNO3 --> Cu(NO3)2 + Ag

According to the equation,

1 mole of Cu reacts with 1 mole of AgNO3.

∴0.155 mol of Cu react with 0.155 mol of AgNO3.

Number of moles of AgNO3 left over = 0.183-0.155=0.028 mol

Number of grams of AgNO3 left over = 0.028 mol x 169.87 grams mol-1

= 4.756 gram

Molecular weight of Cu(NO3)2 = 63.546 x 1 + (14 x 1 +16 x 3 ) x 2

=187.546 gram

Now from the balanced chemical equation,

1 Cu gives 1 Cu(NO3)2

∴ 63.546 g of Cu gives 187.546 gram of Cu(NO3)2

9.85 grams pf Cu gives 187.546 x 9.85 / 64.546 gram of Cu(NO3)2

= 29.07 gram of Cu(NO3)2

A force that exists throughout the universe. Earth's will pull on you at a rate of 9.8 m/s2 if you ignore friction.
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Your answer is Gravity,

The Earth's gravity pulls things at a rate of 9.8m/s² (varying depending upon one's distance). according to Newton, "all mass in the universe exerts some gravitational force". you are pulling on Sagitarios A* (the black hole at the center of the milky way galaxy) right now, and it is also pulling on you.

If you have any questions I <em><u>insist</u></em> that you ask in the comments.

Nistu is cooking rice in a pot. When she leaves the pot on the stove for a while, the temperature of the rice increases. What ha
Mila [183]

Answer:

Their average kinetic energy increases

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy of the rice molecules increases as the pot is left on the cooking stove.

Heat is transferred to the pot by conduction from the heat source. The heat is then transferred to the rice in the cooking pot by convection.

  • As the water in the pot heats up.
  • The rice gains thermal energy.
  • This causes the molecules of the rice particles to start vibrating.
  • As the molecules vibrate about their fixed position, their thermal energy continues to increase.
  • Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed by the rice increases with time and this actually cooks the food.
