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>

The ion [Co(NH3)6]2+
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Explanation:

The answer would be  B.

As paramagnetic with 3 unpaired electrons. Since there are 6 ligands around the Co+2 ion it isoctahedral and these ligands are neutral. This makes the overall charge on the complex +2 and therefore comes from the configuration for Co+2 which is [Ar] 3d7. Since it is in high spin you must fill all the orbitals with at least one electron and then pair up any that remain. If you do this, 3 unpaired electrons remain. Para magnetism occurs in substances with unpaired electrons.

IF 14.07*10^26 molecules of magnesium chloride was produced in the following reaction, how many grams of magnesium reacted?
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

56160grams

Explanation:

First, we need to convert the number of molecules of magnesium chloride (MgCl2) into moles by dividing by Avagadro's number (6.02 × 10^23 molecules)

n = nA ÷ 6.02 × 10^23

n = 14.07 × 10^26 ÷ 6.02 × 10^23

n = 14.07/6.02 × 10^(26-23)

n = 2.34 × 10^3 moles of MgCl2

The balanced reaction given in the question is as follows:

Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 + H2

If 1 mole of Mg produced 1 mole of MgCl2

Then, 2.34 × 10^3 moles of Mg will also produce 2.34 × 10^3 moles of MgCl2.

Using mole = mass ÷ molar mass (MM)

Molar mass of Mg = 24g/mol

mass = mole × MM

mass = 2.34 × 10^3 × 24

mass = 56.16 × 10^3

mass = 56160grams.
