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

Identify the following reaction as oxidation and reduction F2(g)+2e-/2F-(aq)​
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Reduction

Explanation:

The oxidation reduction reactions are called redox reaction. These reactions are take place by gaining or losing the electrons and oxidation state of elements are changed.

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

In given reaction fluorine gas gain two electron and form fluoride ions.

F₂(g) + 2e⁻    →   2F⁻(aq)

The given reaction is reduction because oxidation state is decreased from zero to -1.

onsider the reaction, NO2(g) + CO(g) → NO(g) + CO2(g), for which the rate law has been determined to be: Rate = k[NO2]2[CO]. Whi
nlexa [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Rate of the reaction is a change in the concentration of any one of the reactant or product per unit time.

NO_2(g) + CO(g)\rightarrow NO(g) + CO_2(g)

Rate of the reaction:

R=-\frac{1}{1}\times \frac{d[NO_2]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{1}\times \frac{d[CO]}{dt}

Rate of decrease in nitrogen dioxide concentration is equal to the rate of decrease in carbon monoxide.

Given rate expression of the reaction:

R = k[NO2]^2[CO]

Rate of the reaction on doubling concentration of nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide : R'

R'=k(2\times [NO_2])^2(2\times [CO])=8\times k[NO2]^2[CO]=8R

Doubling the concentrations of nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide simultaneously will increase the rate of the reaction by a factor of eight.

Hence, none of the given statements are true.
