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.

Draw the Lewis structure for BrCl3. What are the approximate bond angles about the central atom?
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

BrCl₃ is an interhalogen compound with a hybridization of sp³d. The approximate bond angles can be predicted from the structure (attached below). Although, the lewis structure might be predicted to be trigonal bipyramidal from the structure, it is however a T-shaped geometry because of it's two lone pairs.

Also, from the structure attached, it can be predicted that the approximate bond angles about the central atom is 120° (360 ÷ 3) since each of the three chlorine atoms is equally spaced about the central atom.

Fill in the coefficients that will balance the following reaction:
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

To balance a reaction, the amount of reactants must be equal to the amount of products, as stated by the Law of Conservation of Matter. It may help you to keep track of  the number of each element in a list as you try to balance. It's not able to be balanced.

During combustion, methane yields carbon dioxide and water. The unbalanced equation for this reaction is:CH4(g)+O2(g) → CO2(g)+
almond37 [142]

Answer:

CH₄(g)  +  2O₂(g) → CO₂(g)  +  2H₂O(l)

Mole ratios for the balanced equation be:

1:2, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 2:2

Explanation:

CH4(g)+O2(g) → CO2(g)+ H2O(l)

To balance a chemical equation, you must have the same mole of each element in both sides of the reaction (reactant side and product side)

CH₄(g)  +  2O₂(g) → CO₂(g)  +  2H₂O(l)

2 C

8 H

8 O

In  both side.

It takes 1 mole of methane to react with 2 mole of oxygen in order to produce 1 mol of dioxide and 2 mole of water.

Mole ratios for the balanced equation be:

Mole ratios for the balanced equation be:

1:2, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 2:2  - We should compare each compound

1 mol methane → 2 mole of oxygen

2 mole of oxygen → 1 mol of methane

2 mole of oxygen → 1 mol of dioxide

1 mole of dioxide → 1 mol of Methane

2 mole of water → 2 mole of oxygen (the same as opposite)

1 mol methane →  2 mole of water

2 mol of water → 1 mol of methane

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Appearance. Pure rock salt is colorless. However, when found underground it is generally not completely pure, so may have yellow, red, gray or brown hues. It is either transparent or translucent and when you shine a light on it, its luster is vitreous, meaning it appears shiny and glassy.
