Answer:

Decomposition Reaction

Explanation:

You can determine the type of reaction by writing out a balanced equation.

Solid Potassium Chlorate: KClO3

Potassium Chloride: KCl

Oxygen Gas: O2

Balanced Equation: 2KClO3 -> 2KCl + 3O2

By definition, a decomposition reaction is when a single substance decomposes into two more simpler substances. AB -> A + B

Because the solid potassium chlorate is breaking into two substances, potassium chloride and oxygen gas, it is a decomposition reaction.

Answer:

8.61 mL of the HCl solution

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

  • 2HCl + Mg(OH)₂ → MgCl₂ + 2H₂O

From the given mass of Mg(OH)₂, we can calculate <u>the moles of HCl that are neutralized</u>:

  • 4x10² mg = 400 mg = 0.400g
  • 0.400g Mg(OH)₂ ÷ 58.32g/1mol = 6.859*10⁻³ mol Mg(OH)₂
  • 6.859*10⁻³ mol Mg(OH)₂ * \frac{1molHCl}{1molMg(OH)_{2}} = 3.429x10⁻³ mol HCl

Finally, to calculate the volume of an HCl solution, we need both the moles and the concentration. We can <u>calculate the concentration using the pH value</u>:

  • pH = -log[H⁺]
  • 1.4 =  -log[H⁺]
  • 10^{-1.4} = [H⁺]
  • 0.0398 M = [H⁺] = [HCl]  *Because HCl is a strong acid*

Thus, the volume is:

  • 0.0398 M = 3.429x10⁻³mol HCl / Volume
  • Volume = 8.616x10⁻³ L = 8.62 mL

How much energy is generated from freezing 2.5 g water
zvonat [6]
200 calories.
Explanation:
The (latent) heat of fusion of a material, is either one of:
1) the heat required to melt the material without
temperature change or
2) the heat removed from the material to freeze it
without temperature change.
For water this latent heat is 80 cal/g. Multiply this by
2.5 g to get 200 cal.

Which is the balanced chemical equation showing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) decomposing into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2)? Multipl
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer: H_2O_2\rightarrow H_2+O_2

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The balanced chemical equation for showing hydrogen peroxide decomposing into hydrogen and oxygen is:

H_2O_2\rightarrow H_2+O_2

A population of Esherichia coli is given time to grow for eight generations. The final population is 1,996,800 cells. What was t
hram777 [196]

Answer:

7800 cells

Explanation:

The number of Escherichia coli cells N after n generations is given by

N = 2ⁿ × N₀ where N₀ = initial population

Now making N₀ subject of the formula, we have

N₀ = N/2ⁿ

Since n = 8 and N = 1,996,800 cells, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

N₀ = N/2ⁿ

N₀ = 1,996,800 cells/2⁸

N₀ = 1,996,800 cells/256

N₀ = 7800 cells

So, the initial population of Escherichia coli cells is 7800 cells.
