Answer:

5.7 moles of O2

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced decomposition equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

2KClO3 —> 2KCl + 3O2

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of KClO3 decomposed to produce 3 moles of O2.

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of O2 produced by the reaction of 3.8 moles of KClO3.

Since 100% yield of O2 is obtained, it means that both the actual yield and theoretical yield of O2 are the same. Thus, we can obtain the number of mole of O2 produced as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of KClO3 decomposed to produce 3 moles of O2.

Therefore, 3.8 moles of KClO3 will decompose to produce = (3.8 × 3)/2 = 5.7 moles of O2.

Thus, 5.7 moles of O2 were obtained from the reaction.

A biology student wants to conduct a study of how the amount of food affects weight gain for mice. He sets up four cages with a
drek231 [11]

The independent variable would be the variable in the research that is being manipulated by the researcher. In this case, it would be amount of food as it is what is being manipulated and changed in the research design. The dependent variable would be the variable that is being studied so, for this case, it would be the weight gain of the mice. The constants are the factors that might affect the dependent variable but is held constant or the same by the researcher throughout the experiment. These are the size of cage, amount of water, amount of sunlight, temperature and the exercise wheel.

List the substances Ar, Cl2, CH4, and CH3COOH, in order of increasing strength of intermolecular attractions. List the substance
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Order of increasing strength of intermolecular attraction:

CH_3COOH > Cl_2 > CH_4 > Ar

Explanation:

CH_3COOH can form hydrogen bond as H atom is attached with electronegative atom O.

Rest three, Cl_2,  CH_4,  Ar are non-polar molecules.

In non-polar molecules, van der Waal's intermolecular forces of attractions exist. Hydrogen bonding is stronger intermolecular attraction then van der Waal's intermolecular forces of attraction, hence, CH_3COOH has strongest intermolecular attractions.

Ar will have least intermolecular attraction, as it behaves almost as ideal gas and there is no intermolecular attraction exist between molecules of ideal gases.

Molecular size and mass of Cl_2 is high as compared to CH_4.

van der Waals intermolecular forces of attraction increases with increase in size.

Therefore,

Order of increasing strength of intermolecular attraction will be:

CH_3COOH > Cl_2 > CH_4 > Ar

Read the word equation: “Propane gas plus oxygen gas produces __________.”
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Propane gas plus oxygen gas produces water and carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

This is the initial chemical equation: C3H8 + O2 = CO2 + H2O

This is the balanced chemical equation: C3H8 + 5 O2 = 3 CO2 + 4 H2O

How many grams of aluminum is produced when 82.4 grams of aluminum chloride
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

16.6 g of Al are produced in the reaction of 82.4 g of AlCl₃

Explanation:

Let's see the decomposition reaction:

2AlCl₃ →  2Al  + 3Cl₂

2 moles of aluminum chloride decompose to 2 moles of solid Al and 3 moles of chlorine gas.

We determine the moles of salt:

82.4 g . 1mol/ 133.34g = 0.618 moles

Ratio is 2:2. 2 moles of salt, can produce 2 moles of Al

Then, 0.618 moles of salt must produce 0.618 moles of Al.

Let's convert the moles to mass → 0.618 mol . 26.98g /mol = 16.6 g

Draw a sodium formate molecule. The structure has been supplied here for you to copy. To add formal charges, click the button be
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

The Molecule of Sodium Formate along with Formal Charges (in blue) and lone pair electrons (in red) is attached below.

Sodium Formate is an ionic compound made up of a positive part (Sodium Ion) and a polyatomic anion (Formate).

Nomenclature:

                       In ionic compounds the positive part is named first. As sodium ion is the positive part hence, it is named first followed by the negative part i.e. formate.

Name of Formate:

                             Formate ion has been derived from formic acid ( the simplest carboxylic acid). When carboxylic acids looses the acidic proton of -COOH, they are converted into Carboxylate ions.

E.g.

                    HCOOH (formic acid)    →     HCOO⁻ (formate)  +  H⁺

                H₃CCOOH (acetic acid)     →      H₃CCOO⁻ (acetate)  +  H⁺

Formal Charges:

                           Formal charges are calculated using following formula,

          F.C  =  [# of Valence e⁻] - [e⁻ in lone pairs + 1/2 # of bonding electrons]

For Oxygen:

                    F.C  =  [6] - [6 + 2/2]

                    F.C  =  [6] - [6 + 1]

                    F.C  =  6 - 7

                    F.C  =  -1

For Sodium:

                    F.C  =  [1] - [0 + 0/2]

                    F.C  =  [1] - [0]

                    F.C  =  1 - 0

                    F.C  =  +1
