What mass (in g) of potassium chlorate is decomposed if the yield of oxygen gas for the first reaction is 88.6%, if it is known

that all produced oxygen was used to make 23.6 g of carbon dioxide and the yield of the second reaction is 77.8%. Methane (CH4) is in excess. Enter a number in g to 1 decimal place. 2 KClO3 ⟶ 2KCl + 3O2 88.6% CH4 + 2O2 ⟶ CO2 + 2H2O 77.8%

Using the stoichiometry and the number of moles involved in the reaction, The mass of KClO3 decomposed is 63.73 g.

Let us take it up from the second reaction;

Using stoichiometry , the equation of the reaction is;

CH4 + 2O2 ⟶ CO2 + 2H2O

Number of moles of CO2 produced = mass/molar mass

Actual yield of CO2 = 23.6 * 100/77.8 = 30.33 g

Number of moles in 30.33 g of CO2 = 30.33 g/44 g/mol = 0.69 moles

From the reaction equation;

2 moles of O2 yields 1 mole of CO2

x moles of O2 yields 0.69 moles of CO2

x = 2 *  0.69 /1

x = 1.38 moles of O2.

Mass of O2 used =  1.38 moles * 32 g/mol = 44.16 g

This becomes the actual yield of the first reaction.

Theoretical yield of oxygen = 44.16 g * 100/88.6

= 49.84 g of O2

Number of moles of O2 = 49.84 g/32 g/mol = 1.56 moles

Given the reaction equation;

KClO3 ⟶ 2KCl + 3O2

1 mole of KClO3 yields 3 moles of O2

x moles of O2 yields 1.56 moles of O2

x =  1 * 1.56/3

= 0.52 moles of KClO3

Mass of KClO3 decomposed = 0.52 moles * 122.55 g/mol = 63.73 g of KClO3

(1)List three things you know about<br> an atom? (2) What is matter created of?
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Atoms consist of three basic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons. The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged).

A gas is contained in a cylinder with a volume of 2.9 L at a temperature of 32.7oC and a pressure of 645.3 torr. The gas is then
stealth61 [152]

Answer: 41 atm

Explanation:

Given that:

Original Volume of gas V1 = 2.9L

Temperature T1 = 32.7°C

Convert Celsius to Kelvin

(32.7°C + 273 = 305.7K)

Pressure P1 = 645.3 torr

New Volume V2 = 0.23 L

New temperature T2 = 894.7°C

Convert Celsius to Kelvin

(894.7°C + 273 = 1167.7K)

New pressure = ?

Then, apply the combined gas equation

(P1V1)/T1 = (P2V2)/T2

(645.3 torr x 2.9L)/305.7K = (P2 x 0.23L)/1167.7K

1871.37 / 305.7 = 0.23P2 / 1167.7

To get P2, Cross multiply

1871.37 x 1167.7 = 305.7 x 0.23P2

2185198.749 = 70.311P2

Divide both sides by 70.311

2185198.749/70.311 = 70.311P2/70.311

31079.045 torr = P2

Now, convert pressure in torr to atmosphere

Since 760 torr = 1 atm

31079.045 torr = Z

cross multiply

760 torr x Z = 31079.045 torr x 1 atm

Z = 31079.045 torr / 760 torr

Z = 40.89 atm (Round to the nearest whole number as 41 atm)

Thus, new pressure of gas is 41 atm
