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 %

A sample of o2 gas (2.0 mmol) effused through a pinhole in 5.0 s. it will take __________ s for the same amount of co2 to effuse

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer is: 5,9.
Effusion is leakage of gas through a small hole. Gases with a lower molecular mass effuse more speedy than gases with a higher molecular mass. R<span>elative rates of effusion is related to the molecular mass.
</span>M(O₂) = 32g/mol.
M(CO₂) = 44g/mol.
t₁ = 5s.
t₂ = ?
t₂/t₁ = √(M(CO₂)/M(O₂)).
t₂ = 1,17·5s = 5,9s.

Can yall help me with this one, thanks!

Lynna [10]

Answer:

Element atom molar mass Total % composition

Na 1 23 40 57.5 %

O 1 16 40 40%

H 1 1 40 2.5 %

The given compound is NaOH.

Na : number of atom= 1

Molar mass= 23 g/mol

Total mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

% composition by mass = $\frac{\text {mass of atom}}{\text {Total mass}}\times 100=\frac{23}{40}\times 100=57.5\%$

O : number of atom= 1

Molar mass= 16 g/mol

Total mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

% composition by mass = $\frac{\text {mass of atom}}{\text {Total mass}}\times 100=\frac{16}{40}\times 100=40\%$

H : number of atom= 1

Molar mass= 1 g/mol

Total mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

% composition by mass = $\frac{\text {mass of atom}}{\text {Total mass}}\times 100=\frac{1}{40}\times 100=2.5\%$

If 4.12 l of a 0.850 m-h3po4 solution is be diluted to a volume of 10.00 l, what is the concentration of the resulting solution?

statuscvo [17]

The process in which the concentration of the solution is lessened by the addition of water is said to be dilution and equation of dilution relates the initial concentration and volume of stock solution with the final concentration and volume of the solution.

Formula is given by:

$C_{1}V_{1}=C_{2}V_{2}$ (1)

where,

$C_{1}$ is the initial concentration

$V_{1}$ is the initial volume

$C_{2}$ is the final concentration

$V_{2}$ is the final volume

Now,

$C_{1}$ = 0.850 M

$V_{1}$ = 4.12 L

$C_{2}$ =?

$V_{2}$ = 10.00 L

Substitute the give values in formula (1),

$0.850 M\times 4.12L=C_{2}\times 10.00 L$

$C_{2} =\frac{0.850 M\times 4.12L}{10.00 L}$

= $0.3502 M$

Thus, the final concentration of the $H_{3}PO_{4}$ solution = $0.3502 M$

Helppp!!!! plz :-((

Mashutka [201]

<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

C: They should try to reproduce Dr. Maxwell's research to verify his results

<h2><u>Why?</u></h2>

Other scientists may or may not agree to Dr. Maxwell, so they should test Dr. Maxwell's research again to see if his conclusion is true or not.

Hope this helps!
