How many grams of lithium chloride can be produced from 14.3 g of lithium chlorate when it decomposes into lithium chloride and

vampirchik [111]

6.7 grams of lithium chloride will be produced.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Lithium chlorate is LiClO₃ and lithium chloride is LiCl. The reaction is,

2LiClO₃ = 2LiCl +3O₂.

So here, 2 moles of lithium chlorate produces 2 moles of lithium chloride.

Or, one molecule of lithium chlorate will produce one mole of lithium chloride.

Molecular weight of lithium chlorate = $6.9 + 35.5 + 16\times3$ = 90.4.

So, 14.3 grams of lithium chlorate has 0.16 moles of lithium chlorate.

Thereby, moles of lithium chloride produced is 0.16 moles.

Molecular weight of lithium chloride = $6.9+35.5$ = 42.4 grams.

So weight of lithium chloride produced = $42.4 \times 0.16$ = 6.7 grams.

Thus, weight of lithium chloride produced will be 6.7 grams.

Answer:

A flame test could help by seeing what things it could catch on fire from or the things that could happen with acids etc. I would test the medicine by asking someone who has had it in their life, asking doctors or I would maybe use it myself maybe. (I don’t know about c, sooo sorry)

Whhat are the maximum number of molecules present in 10g of O2 gas at STP?

Romashka [77]

Of course, at STP, dioxygen is a gas, but 10.0 g is still 10.0 g. We could calculate its volume at STP, which is 22.4 L × its molar quantity, approx. 8⋅L . There are 1.51×1023molecules O2 in 10.0 g O2 .
