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 %

Which processes of the water cycle involve the movement of water in the liquid state?
dangina [55]

Answer:

Surface runoff and condensation

Explanation:

Let's define each of the given processes in order to understand them better:

  • evaporation is a process in which liquid phase transforms into a gas phase;
  • precipitation is a process in which we produce a solid phase, usually this is the case when we precipitate a salt out of a solution, analogy of precipitation for water would be transformation from a liquid to a solid phase, such as freezing;
  • surface runoff is a process in which water flows over the surface of a land without any change in its phase;
  • condensation is a process in which a gas transforms into a liquid.

All in all, notice that surface runoff keeps water in its liquid state, while all the other three options consider phase change. The only phase change of interest is condensation: we produce liquid water from water vapor and then we can analyze its movement in the liquid state.

Because copper is a metal, it is what?
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Copper is a mineral and an element essential to our everyday lives. It is a major industrial metal because of its high ductility, malleability, thermal and electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion. It is an essential nutrient in our daily diet. And, its antimicrobial property is becoming increasingly important to the prevention of infection. It ranks third after iron and aluminum in terms of quantities consumed in the USA.

What 2 chemicals react together during photosynthesis
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The photosynthesis chemical equation states that the reactants (carbon dioxide, water and sunlight), yield two products, glucose and oxygen gas. The single chemical equation represents the overall process of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Definition: the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.

Hope this helps!
