No, because the atoms have only 6 valence electrons, but need 8 for stability.

For the reaction 2kclo3(s)→2kcl(s)+3o2(g) calculate how many grams of oxygen form when each quantity of reactant completely reac
barxatty [35]
First, we need to get the molar mass of:

KClO3 = 39.1 + 35.5 + 3*16 = 122.6 g/mol

KCl =39.1 + 35.5 = 74.6 g/mol

O2 = 16*2 = 32 g/mol

From the given equation we can see that:

every 2 moles of KClO3 gives 3 moles of O2

when mass = moles * molar mass

∴ the mass of KClO3 = (2mol of KClO3*122.6g/mol) = 245.2 g

and the mass of O2 then = 3 mol * 32g/mol = 96 g

so, 245.2 g of KClO3 gives 96 g of O2

A) 2.72 g of KClO3: 

when 245.2 KClO3 gives → 96 g  O2

   2.72 g KClO3 gives →  X

X = 2.72 g KClO3 * 96 g O2/245.2 KClO3

    = 1.06 g of O2

B) 0.361 g KClO3:

when 245.2 g KClO3 gives → 96 g O2

     0.361 g KClO3 gives → X

∴ X = 0.361g KClO3 * 96 g / 245.2 g

       = 0.141 g of O2

C) 83.6 Kg KClO3:

when 245.2 g KClO3 gives → 96 g O2

       83.6 Kg KClO3 gives  →  X

∴X = 83.6 Kg* 96 g O2 /245.2 g KClO3

     = 32.7 Kg of O2

D) 22.4 mg of KClO3:

when 245.2 g KClO3 gives → 96 g O2

        22.4 mg KClO3 gives → X

∴X = 22.4 mg * 96 g O2 / 245.2 g KClO3

      = 8.8 mg of O2

A 1.800-g sample of solid phenol (C6H5OH(s)) was burned in a bomb calorimeter whose total heat capacity is 11.66 kJ/?C. The temp
vichka [17]

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation:

C_6H_5OH(s)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+3H_2O(g)

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol is 32.454 kJ/g

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol is 3,050 kJ/mol

Explanation:

C_6H_5OH(s)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+3H_2O(g)

Heat capacity of calorimeter = C = 11.66 kJ/°C

Initial temperature of the calorimeter = T_1= 21.36^oC

Final temperature of the calorimeter = T_2= 26.37^oC

Heat absorbed by calorimeter = Q

Q=C\times \Delta T

Heat released during reaction = Q'

Q' = -Q ( law of conservation of energy)

Energy released on combustion of 1.800 grams of phenol = Q' = -(58.4166 kJ)

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol:

\frac{Q'}{1.800 g}=\frac{-58.4166 kJ}{1.800 g}=32.454 kJ/g

Molar mass of phenol = 94 g/mol

Heat of combustion per gram of phenol:

\frac{Q'}{\frac{1.800 g}{94 g/mol}}=\frac{-58.4166 kJ\times 94 g/mol}{1.800 g}=3,050 kJ/mol

At which type of tectonic plate boundary is a volcano least likely to occur?
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

A divergent boundary is when the plates move apart from each other. When the plates part, magma from under either plate rises and forms a volcano. A hotspot is the third place a volcano can form. This particular type is the least common.

Todd drives west to work;54km on way in 1.5hours and then drives home in 2hrs. What is his velocity on the way to work? What is
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Velocity ​​is a physical quantity that expresses the relationship between the space traveled by an object, the time taken for it and its direction. In other words, velocity is associated with the change of position of a body over time.

Its unit in the International System of Units is the meter per second (\frac{m}{s}), but it can also be expressed in \frac{km}{hr}

So, in this case, the speed on the way to work will be:

velocity=\frac{54 km}{1.5 hours}

velocity= 36 \frac{km}{hr}

The velocity on the way back home will be:

velocity=\frac{54 km}{2 hours}

velocity= 27 \frac{km}{hr}
