The particles move faster when more thermal energy is added creating heat.
<span>KCl<span>O3</span><span>(s)</span>+Δ→KCl<span>(s)</span>+<span>32</span><span>O2</span><span>(g)</span></span>
Approx. <span>3L</span> of dioxygen gas will be evolved.
Explanation:
We assume that the reaction as written proceeds quantitatively.
Moles of <span>KCl<span>O3</span><span>(s)</span></span> = <span><span>10.0⋅g</span><span>122.55⋅g⋅mo<span>l<span>−1</span></span></span></span> = <span>0.0816⋅mol</span>
And thus <span><span>32</span>×0.0816⋅mol</span> dioxygen are produced, i.e. <span>0.122⋅mol</span>.
At STP, an Ideal Gas occupies a volume of <span>22.4⋅L⋅mo<span>l<span>−1</span></span></span>.
And thus, volume of gas produced = <span>22.4⋅L⋅mo<span>l<span>−1</span></span>×0.0816⋅mol≅3L</span>
Note that this reaction would not work well without catalysis, typically <span>Mn<span>O2</span></span>.
Molecular is every element present in the compound eg C2H6, empirical is the smallest whole number ratio of elements in a compound so that would be CH3 as you divide by the highest common factor. Some compounds only have 1 formula if they are simple or have no common factors. Eg methane, CH4 is its molecular and empirical because its the simplest whole number ratio and includes every element in the molecule
