Matter is everything and everything is made of matter, everything physical at least
Fireworks owe their colors to reactions of combustion of the metals present. When Mg and Al burn, they emit a white bright light, whereas iron emits a gold light. Besides metals, oxygen is necesary for the combustion. The decomposition reactions of barium nitrate and potassium chlorate provide this element. At the same time, barium can burn emitting a green light.
(a) Barium nitrate is a <em>salt</em> formed by the <em>cation</em> barium Ba²⁺ and the <em>anion</em> nitrate NO₃⁻. Its formula is Ba(NO₃)₂. Potassium chlorate is a <em>salt</em> formed by the <em>cation</em> potassium K⁺ and the <em>anion</em> chlorate ClO₃⁻. Its formula is KClO₃.
(b) The balanced equation for the decomposition of potassium chloride is:
2KClO₃(s) ⇄ 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)
(c) The balanced equation for the decomposition of barium nitrate is:
Ba(NO₃)₂(s) ⇄ BaO(s) + N₂(g) + 3O₂(g)
(d) The balanced equations of metals with oxygen to form metal oxides are:
- 2 Mg(s) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2 MgO(s)
- 4 Al(s) + 3 O₂(g) ⇄ 2 Al₂O₃(s)
- 4 Fe(s) + 3 O₂(g) ⇄ 2 Fe₂O₃(s)
There are 1.078 x 10²³ molecules
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
4 dm³ = 4 L Nitrogen gas
Required
Number of molecules
Solution
Assumptions on STP (1 atm, 273 K), 1 mol gas = 22.4 L, so for 4 L :
mol = 4 : 22.4
mol = 0.179
1 mol = 6.02 x 10²³ particles(molecules, atoms)
For 0.179 :
= 0.179 x 6.02 x 10²³
= 1.078 x 10²³
Answer:
The exact molecular mass is 18.01528 g/mol
Explanation:
Find this by adding the molecular masses of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
It depends on the number of valence electrons required to make octet or duplet( in case of H)
. For example, Nitrogen(atomic number = 7) has electronic configuration(2,5) which means nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and requires 3 more electrons to complete its octet. After gaining 3 electrons from atoms of an element with less electronegativity than N, it forms nitride ion (
).
Hope this helps.
