When hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is added to potassium iodide (KI) solution, the hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water (H2O) and

oxygen (O2). The chemical equation for this decomposition reaction is:
2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2


In this reaction, the potassium iodide is needed for the reaction to happen, but it isn’t changed in the reaction and can be used again. What is the role of potassium iodide in this reaction?

A. Reactant

B. Product

C. Precipitate

D. Catalyst

Molecule of water contains hydrogen and oxygen in a 1:8 ratio by mass. This is a statement of __________.A) the law of multiple
fgiga [73]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

The molecule of water has 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen.

The ratio of masses are given as:

2\times 1 g/mol: 1\times 16 g/mol= 1 : 8

This illustrates the law of definite proportions which is also known as law of constant compositions .

The law states that 'the elements combining to form compound always combine in a fixed ratio by their mass.'

Whereas :

Law of multiple proportion states that when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compounds , the mass of one element with respect to the fixed mass of another element are in ratio of small whole numbers.

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

In a balanced chemical reaction ,total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

Law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

Chromium is strange because it moves on to the 4s orbital instead of filling the 3d orbital with that last electron. Tricky.
