To do this problem, we must first look at the balanced chemical equation for the decomposition of potassium chlorate: 

<span>2KClO3 --> 2KCl + 3O2 </span>

<span>We can take the given amount of grams, and use the molar mass of KClO3 to convert to moles. Then, we can use the stoichiometric ratios to relate moles of KClO3 to moles of O2. </span>

<span>(39.09)+(35.45)+(3*15.99)= 122.51 g/ mol = molar mass of KClO3 </span>
<span>45.8 g KClO3/ 122.51 g/ mol KClO3 = .374 moles KClO3 </span>
<span>.374 mol KClO3 *(3 moles O2/2 mol KClO3)= .560 moles O2 </span>

<span>Once we have moles of O2, we can convert to grams of O2. </span>

<span>(2*15.99)= 31.98 g/mol = molar mass of O2 </span>
<span>(.560 moles O2) (31.98 g/mol)= 17.91 g O2 </span>


<span>Hope this helps :)</span>

What is the mole fraction of acetic acid in a solution containing 2 moles of vinegar and 3 moles of water? A. 2 B. 3 C. 0.4 D. 0
9966 [12]

Answer:

C. 0.4.

Explanation:

<em>∵ mole fraction of acetic acid (X acetic acid) = (no. of moles acetic acid)/(total no. of moles) = (no. of moles acetic acid)/(no. of moles of acetic acid + no. of moles of water).</em>

<em></em>

- no. of moles of acetic acid = 2, no. of moles of water = 3.

- Total no. of moles = no. of moles of acetic acid + no. of moles of water = 2 + 3 = 5.

<em>∴ mole fraction of acetic acid (X acetic acid) = (no. of moles acetic acid)/(total no. of moles) =</em> (2)/(5)<em> = 0.4.</em>

When circumstances are right, most materials undergo a process called thermal expansion. Which statement best describes the caus
harina [27]

Answer: Matter is heated, and its particles spread out more

Explanation:

Thermal expansion occurs when there's an expansion of an object or material or when an object becomes bigger because of a rise in its temperature. This brings about the faster movement of the heated molecules and the atoms spreading out.

Therefore, the cause and effect of thermal expansion will be that when matter is heated, and its particles spread out more.
