If 125g of KClO3 is heated, what is the total mass of the products?

Andrej [43]

Given parameters:

Mass of KClO₃ = 125g

Unknown:

Total mass of the products = ?

When KClO₃ is heated, it thermally decomposes to KCl and O₂ according to the chemical equation below;

2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂

All chemical equations obeys the law of conservation of matter and with this regard, we know that the amount of reactants used is the same as that of the product.

The total mass of the products must give us 125g according to this law of conservation of matter.

Now to find the masses of each product,

Find the number of moles of the given reactant:

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

molar mass of KClO₃ = 39 + 35.5 + 3(16) = 122.5g/mol

So number of moles of KClO₃ = $\frac{125}{122.5}$ = 1.02moles

2. Now, using this number of moles, find the number of moles of the products using this value;

2 moles of KClO₃ produced 2 moles of KCl

1.02 moles of KClO₃ will also produce 1.02moles of KCl

2 moles of KClO₃ produced 3 moles of O₂

1.02 moles of KClO₃ will produce $\frac{1.02 x 3} {2}$ mole = 1.53 moles of O₂

3. Now find the masses of each product;

Mass = number of moles x molar mass

molar mass of KCl = 39 + 35.5 = 74.5g/mol

molar mass of O₂ = 16 x 2 = 32g/mol

Mass of KCl = 74.5 x 1.02 = 75.99g

Mass of O₂ = 32 x 1.53 = 48.96g

Total mass of products = mass of KCl + Mass of O₂ = 75.99g + 48.96g

= 124.95g

This value is approximately the same as that of mass of KClO₃

Need help asap with this chemistry if someone could help me

Burka [1]

Answer:

Structure One:

N: -2
C: 0
O: +1

Structure Two:

N: 0
C: 0
O: -1

Structure Three:

N: -1
C: 0
O: 0.

Structure Number Two would likely be the most stable structure.

All five C atoms: 0
All six H atoms to C: 0
N atom: +1.

The N atom is the one that is "likely" to be attracted to an anion. See explanation.

Explanation:

When calculating the formal charge for an atom, the assumption is that electrons in a chemical bond are shared equally between the two bonding atoms. The formula for the formal charge of an atom can be written as:

$\text{Formal Charge} \\ = \text{Number of Valence Electrons in Element} \\ \phantom{=}-\text{Number of Chemical Bonds} \\\phantom{=} - \text{Number of nonbonding Lone Pair Electrons}$ .

For example, for the N atom in structure one of the first question,

N is in IUPAC group 15. There are 15 - 10 = 5 valence electrons on N.
This N atom is connected to only 1 chemical bond.
There are three pairs, or 6 electrons that aren't in a chemical bond.

The formal charge of this N atom will be $5 - 1 - 6 = -2$ .

Apply this rule to the other atoms. Note that a double bond counts as two bonds while a triple bond counts as three.

Structure One:

N: -2
C: 0
O: +1

Structure Two:

N: 0
C: 0
O: -1

Structure Three:

N: -1
C: 0
O: 0.

In general, the formal charge on all atoms in a molecule or an ion shall be as close to zero as possible. That rules out Structure number one.

Additionally, if there is a negative charge on one of the atoms, that atom shall preferably be the most electronegative one in the entire molecule. O is more electronegative than N. Structure two will likely be favored over structure three.

Similarly,

All five C atoms: 0
All six H atoms to C: 0
N atom: +1.

Assuming that electrons in a chemical bond are shared equally (which is likely not the case,) the nitrogen atom in this molecule will carry a positive charge. By that assumption, it would attract an anion.

Note that in reality this assumption seldom holds. In this ion, the N-H bond is highly polarized such that the partial positive charge is mostly located on the H atom bonded to the N atom. This example shows how the formal charge assumption might give misleading information. However, for the sake of this particular problem, the N atom is the one that is "likely" to be attracted to an anion.

List a few of the physical properties of buckyball

stepladder [879]

Buckyball or buckminster fullerene is the third allotrope of carbon. It contains 60 carbons which are arranged in the five and six membered rings. Buckyball is the cluster of carbon atoms which are arranged in spherical shape and it forms a hollow cage.

The physical properties are:

Buckyball is made up of huge number of molecules but giant covalent bond is not exist.

The forces between the individual buckyballs are weak intermolecular forces.

The substances which are made up of buckyballs has low melting point in comparison to other allotropes of carbon as low energy is required to overcome theses intermolecular forces.

The substances which are made up of buckyballs is slippery in nature.

The solutions of buckminster fullerene are deep purple in color and upon evaporation brown residue is obtained.

Buckyball is soft in comparison to graphite and when it is compressed to less than 70 percent of its volume then, it converts into superhard form of diamond.
