Answer:

2

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the generic decomposition reaction

KClOₓ ⇒ KCl + O₂

Step 2: Calculate the moles of O₂

At STP, 1 mole of an ideal gas occupies 22.4 L.

50.4 L × 1 mol/22.4 L = 2.25 mol

Step 3: Calculate the mass corresponding to 2.25 moles of O₂

The molar mass of O₂ is 32.00 g/mol.

2.25 mol × 32.00 g/mol = 72 g

Step 4: Determine the value of x

Every 156 g of KClOₓ there are 72 g of oxygen. The mass percent of O is:

%O: 72 g/156 g × 100% = 46.2%

In KClO, the mass percent of O is: 32.00 g/90.5 g × 100% = 35.4%

In KClO₂, the mass percent of O is: 64.00 g/138.5 g × 100% = 46.2%

Then, x = 2

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

4.5 kilograms of silicon dioxide is required to produce 3.00 kg of SiC.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction between silicon dioxide and carbon at high temperature is given as:

SiO_2+3C\rightarrow SiC+2CO

1 mole silicon dioxide reacts with 3 moles of carbon to give 1 moles of silicon carbide and 2 moles of carbon monoxide.

Mass of SiC = 3.00kg = 3000.00 g

1 kg = 1000 g

Molecular mass of SiC = 40 g/mol

Moles of SiC = \frac{3000.00 g}{40 g/mol}= 75 mol

According to reaction, 1 mole of SiC is produced from 1 mole of silicon dioxide.

Then 75 moles of SiC will be produce from:

\frac{1}{1}\times 75 mol=75 mol of silicon dioxide.

mass of 75 moles of silicon dioxde:

75 mol\times 60 g/mol=4500 g=4.5 kg

4.5 kilograms of silicon dioxide is required to produce 3.00 kg of SiC.
