What volume of oxygen gas is released at STP if 10.0 g of potassium chlorate is decomposed? (The molar mass of KClO3 is 122.55 g/mol.)

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Given:

10g of potassium chlorate decomposed

STP

molar mass of KClO3 is 122.55 g/mol

 

Required:

Volume of oxygen gas

 

Solution:

The decomposition reaction is

2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2

                Moles of O2 = 10g KClO3 (1 mol KClO3/122.55 g/mol KClO3)(3 moles O2/2 moles KClO3) = 15 moles O2

                 Using ideal gas law: PV = nRT

               

                PV = nRT

                V = nRT/P

                V = (15 moles O2)(0.08206 L-atm/mol-K)(273K)/1 atm

                V = 336.04 L O2

Fe2O3 is the major component in rust. How many atoms are in one molecule of rust? A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 5

Answers

The correct option is D.

The major component of rust is Fe2O3. To know the number of atom in one molecule of rust, one have to look at the chemical formula of rust and determine the different atoms that are present and their numbers. Looking at the chemical formula above, one will notice that, two atoms of iron is present and three atoms of oxygen. The number of atoms present are written in front of the chemical symbol of each element. two atoms of iron added to three atoms of oxygen will give 5 atoms. Thus, five atoms are present in one molecule of rust.

Correct answer  would be D.5 because there are 2 iron atoms and 3 oxygen atoms.

In which reaction are electrons transferred from one reactant to another reactant?(1) 2Ca(s) + O2(g) =>2CaO(s)
(2) AgNO3(aq) + KCl(aq) =>AgCl(s) + KNO3(aq)
(3) HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) =>NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
(4) H3O+(aq) + OH-(aq) => 2H=O(l)

Answers

Answer : The correct reaction is, (1) 2Ca(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CaO(s)

Explanation :

(1) 2Ca(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CaO(s)

In this reaction, the oxidation state of calcium (Ca) changes from (0) to (+2) and the oxidation state of oxygen (O) changes from (0) to (-2). In this reaction the electrons are transferred from one reactant (calcium) to another reactant (oxygen). This is a synthesis reaction.

(2) AgNO_3(aq)+KCl(aq)\rightarrow AgCl(s)+KNO_3(aq)

In this reaction, there is no changes in the oxidation state of the elements. So, in this reaction, no electrons transferred from one reactant to another reactant. This is a double-displacement reaction.

(3) HCl(aq)+NaOH(aq)\rightarrow NaCl(aq)+H_2O(l)

In this reaction, there is no changes in the oxidation state of the elements. So, in this reaction, no electrons transferred from one reactant to another reactant. This is a neutralization reaction.

(4) H_3O^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)

In this reaction, there is no changes in the oxidation state of the elements. So, in this reaction, no electrons transferred from one reactant to another reactant. This is a combination reaction.

Hence, the correct reaction is, (1) 2Ca(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CaO(s) in which the electrons transferred from one reactant to another reactant.

The answer is (1). The electrons transfer form one reactant to another means that there is the change of valence. For other choices, the valence of reactant does not change.

a student used 10 mL water instead of 30 mL for extraction of salt water from mixture. how may this change the percentage of NaCl extracted?

Answers

If a student used 10 mL water instead of 30 mL for extraction of salt water from mixture, the extraction of salt will be lesser than compared to using 30 mL since less solute will dissolve in 10 mL.

How are gamma rays made? Also, how are they important?

Answers

How are they made-
Gamma rays are given off by stars, and by some radioactive substances.
They are extremely high frequency waves, and carry a large amount of energy.USES-Because Gamma rays can kill living cells, they are used to kill cancer cells without having to resort to difficult surgery.This is called "Radiotherapy", and works because healthy cells can repair themselves fairly well when damaged by gamma rays - but cancer cells can't. Getting the dose right is very important!There's also targeted radiotherapy, where a radioactive substance is used to kill cancer cells - but it's a substance that'll be taken up by a specific part of the body, so the rest of the body only gets a low dose. An example would be using radioactive iodine to treat cancer in the thyroid gland.
Gamma rays are generated by radioactive atoms and in nuclear explosions. gamma rays are used to kill cancerous cells which is why it is used in medicine.

Which radioisotope has the fastest rate ofdecay?
(1) 14C
(2) 37Ca
(3) 53Fe
(4) 42K

Answers

The correct answer is 2. 37Ca.

The fastest rate of decay in radioisotope is 37Ca. Another name for radioisotope is radioactive of isotopes which are of given element.

The different number of neurons and the same number of protons are present on the same element with different isotopes. Radioisotopes are considered to have an unstable combination of neutrons and protons.
The correct answer to this question is (2) 37Ca . The radioisotope that has the fastest rate of decay is 37Ca. Radioisotope or also known as radioactive isotopes of a given element. Same number of protons but different number of neurons are present on different isotopes of the same element. They are considered as atoms that have unstable protons and neutrons combination.
