Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry and ideal gas law, 0.48144 grams of KClO₃ was decomposed.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

2 KClO₃  → 2 KCl + 3 O₂

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • KClO₃: 2 moles  
  • KCl: 2 moles
  • O₂: 3 moles

The molar mass of the compounds is:

  • KClO₃: 122.45 g/mole
  • KCl: 74.45 g/mole
  • O₂: 32 g/mole

Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • KClO₃: 2 moles ×122.45 g/mole= 244.8 grams
  • KCl: 2 moles ×74.45 g/mole= 148.9 grams
  • O₂: 3 moles ×32 g/mole= 96 grams

<h3>Ideal gas law</h3>

The pressure, P, the temperature, T, and the volume, V, of an ideal gas, are related by a simple formula called the ideal gas law:

P×V = n×R×T

where:

  • P is the gas pressure.
  • V is the volume that the gas occupies.
  • T is the temperature of the gas.
  • R is the ideal gas constant. The universal constant of ideal gases R has the same value for all gaseous substances.
  • n is the number of moles of the gas.

<h3>Number of O₂ produced.</h3>

165 mL of oxygen is produced at 30.0 °C and 90.0 kPa. This is, you know:

  • P= 90 kPa= 0.888231 atm (being 101.325 kPa= 1 atm)
  • V= 165 mL= 0.165 L (being 1000 mL= 1 L)
  • n= ?
  • R= 0.082 \frac{atmL}{molK}
  • T= 30 C= 303 K (being 0 C= 273 K)

Replacing in the ideal gas law:

0.888231 atm× 0.165 L = n× 0.082 \frac{atmL}{molK}× 303 K

Solving:

n= (0.888231 atm× 0.165 L)÷ (0.082 \frac{atmL}{molK}× 303 K)

<u><em>n= 0.0059 moles</em></u>

Finally, 0.0059 moles of oxygen is produced at 30 °C and 90 kPa.

<h3>Mass of KClO₃ required</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: If by stoichiometry of the reaction 3 moles of O₂ are produced by 244.8 grams of KClO₃, 0.0059 moles of O₂ are produced by how much mass of KClO₃?

mass of KClO_{3}= \frac{0.0059 moles of O_{2}x 244.8 grams of KClO_{3}}{3 moles of O_{2}}

<u><em>mass of KClO₃= 0.48144 grams</em></u>

Finally, 0.48144 grams of KClO₃ was decomposed.

The _______ geometry of a water molecule is tetrahedral even though the molecular geometry is bent
IRINA_888 [86]

The electron geometry of a water molecule is tetrahedral even though the molecular geometry is bent.

As water molecule hybridisation is sp³ that provides it a electron geometry tetrahedral but due to presence of 2 lone pairs and 2 bond pairs its molecular geometry is bent.

The hybridisation sp³ makes  electron geometry of a water molecule tetrahedral but the presence of 2 lone pairs makes its  molecular geometry bent

Does anybody know how to do q4. Please show working out thanks.

Answer:

% purity of limestone = 96.53%

Explanation:

Question (4).

Weight of impure CaCO₃ = 25.9 g

Molecular weight of CaCO₃ = 40 + 12 + 3(16)

                                              = 100 g per mole

We know at S.T.P. number of moles of CO₂ = 1 and volume = 22.4 liters

From the given reaction, 1 mole of CaCO₃ reacts with 1 mole or 22.4 liters of

CO₂.

∵ 22.4 liters of CO₂ was produced from CaCO3 = 100 g

∴ 1 liter of CO₂ will be produced by CaCO₃ = \frac{100}{22.4}

∴ 5.6 liters of CO₂ will be produced by CaCO₃ = \frac{100\times 5.6}{22.4}

                                                                              = 25 g

Therefore, % purity of CaCO₃ = \frac{\text{Weight calculated}}{{\text{Weight given}}}\times 100

                                                 = \frac{25}{25.9}\times 100

                                                 = 96.53 %
