Boiling water, steam from a cup of tea and ice melting
Answer:
5.71 g
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced equation
2 K + Cl₂ ⇒ 2 KCl
Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 12.0 g of KCl
The molar mass of KCl is 74.55 g/mol.
12.0 g × 1 mol/74.55 g = 0.161 mol
Step 3: Calculate the moles of Cl₂ needed to produce 0.161 moles of KCl
The molar ratio of Cl₂ to KCl is 1:2. The moles of Cl₂ needed are 1/2 × 0.161 mol = 0.0805 mol
Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.0805 moles of Cl₂
The molar mass of Cl₂ is 70.91 g/mol.
0.0805 mol × 70.91 g/mol = 5.71 g
It is in period 3
It is in group 17
It is a chlorine atom because it has 17 electrons which means the atomic number is 17
The mass stays the same because if you have the same amount of steam then it can't change. The volume will get slightly smaller because the average kinetic energy of the molecules is less, so they move around less, so they take up less space. The particles are moving less fast.
