<h3>
Answer:</h3>
0.144 moles
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
- The relationship between mass of a compound, number of moles and molar mass of the compound is given by;
- Number of moles = Mass ÷ Molar mass
- Molar mass is equivalent to the relative formula mass of the compound that is calculated the atomic masses of the elements making the compound.
In this case;
Our compound, KClO3 will have a molar mass of;
= 39 + 35.5 + 4(16)
= 138.5 g/mol
Mass of KClO3 is 20 g
Therefore;
Number of moles = 20 g ÷ 138.5 g/mol
= 0.144 moles
Thus, the number of moles in 20 g of KClO3 is 0.144 moles
Answer:
2.5 mol Cl2 will react with 5 mol Na.
Explanation:
Answer:
It is due to the nature of the reactants
Explanation:
To ignite a solid, we require more heat component compared to liquids and gases. For ignition to occur, oxygen gas combines with a reactant in most cases.
Some factors affect the rate rate at which a chemical proceeds. One of the factors is the nature of reactants.
The solid phase is very slow while the gaseous phase is rapid and fast.
solid phase < liquid phase < gas phase
Gases are free and the molecules move in all direction. They easily combine and react very fast.
It is important to note that mass and mole pertain to different units of measurement, thus, 1 mole of one substance may have a lower or higher mass compared to a different substance. The mass of an object gives a measure of the number of atoms present in the substance while the number of moles of a substance refers to the amount of a chemical substance it has and is often used for chemical reactions.
For this problem, we first get the molar mass of each substance:
Molar mass of H2O = 18.0153 g/mol
Molar mass of C6H12O6 = 180.1559 g/mol
We then convert each substance into units of mass (grams), where:
1 mol H20 x 18.0153 g/mol = 18.0153 g H20
1 mol C6H12O6 x 180.1559 g/mol = 180.1559 g C6H12O6
It was then determined that 1 mole of glucose has more mass than 1 mole of water.
