First, balance the reaction:

_ KClO₃   ==>   _ KCl + _ O₂

As is, there are 3 O's on the left and 2 O's on the right, so there needs to be a 2:3 ratio of KClO₃ to O₂. Then there are 2 K's and 2 Cl's among the reactants, so we have a 1:1 ratio of KClO₃ to KCl :

2 KClO₃   ==>   2 KCl + 3 O₂

Since we start with a known quantity of O₂, let's divide each coefficient by 3.

2/3 KClO₃   ==>   2/3 KCl + O₂

Next, look up the molar masses of each element involved:

• K: 39.0983 g/mol

• Cl: 35.453 g/mol

• O: 15.999 g/mol

Convert 10 g of O₂ to moles:

(10 g) / (31.998 g/mol) ≈ 0.31252 mol

The balanced reaction shows that we need 2/3 mol KClO₃ for every mole of O₂. So to produce 10 g of O₂, we need

(2/3 (mol KClO₃)/(mol O₂)) × (0.31252 mol O₂) ≈ 0.20835 mol KClO₃

KClO₃ has a total molar mass of about 122.549 g/mol. Then the reaction requires a mass of

(0.20835 mol) × (122.549 g/mol) ≈ 25.532 g

of KClO₃.

Which method of measurement would be accurate but lack precision?
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

reading the volume of water in a graduated cylinder which can be read to the nearest mL is accurate, it lacks precision due to the bottom meniscus formed.

the bottom meniscus may cause a wrong reading due to refraction of light

While on an ice-fishing trip, you find yourself holding a 10 kg fish but stuck in the middle of
Anna007 [38]

The forward force you exert on the fish and your backward action will allow you to reach the shore.

<h3>Newton's third law of motion</h3>

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Fa = -Fb

Let's assume the fish is held in the hook, this will give you the opportunity to throw the fish forward while still holding it.

When the the fish is thrown forward, you will move backwards with an equal force based on Newton's third law. Your backward momentum towards the shore will help to maintain equal linear momentum between you and the fish.

Thus, this forward force of the fish and your backward action will allow you to reach the shore.

A student has a thin copper beaker containing 100 g of a pure metal in the solid state. The metal is at 215°C, its exact melting
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The metal will melt but their will be no change in temperature.

Explanation:

The metal is at its melting temperature which means it is still in solid phase but have to cross the enthalpy of its condensation at this same temperature to convert into liquid phase.

<u>On supplying heat, the metal's temperature will not change as the heat will be required as enthalpy of condensation to melt the solid to liquid at the melting temperature.</u>

lonnie pitches a baseball of mass 0.02kg. The ball arrives at home plate with a speed of 40 m/s and is batted straight back to L
vodomira [7]

Answer:

I=2 kg.m/s

Explanation:

The impulse is defined as the change of momentum:

I=p_f-p_o\\I=m*v_f-m*v_o\\I=0.02kg*[(-60m/s)-40m/s]\\I=2kg.m/s

We took the final velocity as negative since it is going on the opposite direction of the intial motion of the ball.

A guy wire 1005 feet long is attached to the top of a tower. When pulled taut, it touches level ground 552 feet from the base of
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

56.7°

Explanation:

Imagine a rectangle triangle.

The triangle has 3 sides.

One side is the height of the tower, let's name it A.

Another side is the distance from the base of the tower to the point where the waire touches the ground. Let's name that B.

Sides A and B are perpendicular.

The other side is the length of the wire. Let's name it C.

From trigonometry we know that:

cos(a) = B / C

Where a is the angle between B anc C, between the wire and the ground.

Therefore

a = arccos(B/C)

a = arccos(552/1005) = 56.7°
