Answer:

32.6%

Explanation:

Equation of reaction

2KClO₃ (s) → 2KCl (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Molar mass of 2KClO₃ = 245.2 g/mol ( 122.6 × 2)

Molar volume of Oxygen at s.t.p = 22.4L / mol

since the gas was collected over water,

total pressure = pressure of water vapor + pressure of oxygen gas

0.976 = 0.04184211 atm + pressure of oxygen gas at 30°C

pressure of oxygen = 0.976 - 0.04184211 = 0.9341579 atm = P1

P2 = 1 atm, V1 = 789ml, V2 = unknown, T1 = 303K, T2 = 273k at s.t.p

Using ideal gas equation

$\frac{P1V1}{T1}$ = $\frac{P2V2}{T2}$

V2 = $\frac{P1V1T2}{T1P2}$

V2 = 664.1052 ml

245.2 yielded 67.2 molar volume of oxygen

0.66411 will yield = $\frac{245.2 * 0.66411}{67.2}$ = 2.4232 g

percentage of potassium chlorate in the original mixture = $\frac{2.4232 * 100}{7.44}$ = 32.6%

At which temperature and pressure will a sample of neon gas behave most like an ideal gas?

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

At STP, 760mmHg or 1 atm and OK or 273 degrees celcius

Explanation:

The standard temperature and pressure is the temperature and pressure at which we have the molecules of a gas behaving as an ideal gas. At this temperature and pressure, it is expected that the gas exhibits some properties that make it behave like an ideal gas.

This temperature and pressure conform some certain properties on a gas molecule which make us say it is behaving like an ideal gas. Ordinarily at other temperatures and pressures, these properties are not obtainable

Take for instance, one mole of a gas at stp occupies a volume of 22.4L. This particular volume is not obtainable at other temperatures and pressures but at this particular temperature and pressure. One mole of a gas will occupy this said volume no matter its molar mass and constituent elements. This is because at this temperature and pressure, the gas is expected to behave like an ideal gas and thus exhibit the characteristics which are expected of an ideal gas

Does sodium satisfy the ostet rule?

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The rule is especially applicable to carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and the halogens, but also to metals such as sodium or magnesium. ... All four of these electrons are counted in both the carbon octet and the oxygen octet, so that both atoms are considered to obey the octet rule.

Artemon [7]

1 and 2 the forces holding water molecules together are stronger than the forces holding alcohols molecules together these forces are stronger in water due to hydrogen bonding the intermolecular forces forces that hold the water together are stronger than alchol because water has hydrogen bonding hydrogen bonding is hydrogen being attracted to oxygen or flourine or chloroine the electronegativity differences are larger the forces holding the bonds are stronger its like hydrogen is holding on to oxygen strongly different types of forces are lomdon dispersion forces like helium which have low boiling point they have nothing holding them together water has hydrogen bonds alcohol doesnt have the hydrogen bonds water has and geometry vsper model polar and hydrogen bonds as water so theyre weaker.

In boyle's law, the initial volume of a gas is 120 ml at 256 kpa. what will be the volume if the pressure increases to 385 kpa?

Vinil7 [7]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

79.8 ml

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Boyle's law describes the relationship between pressure and volume when the temperature is constant. For this question, I will be rounding to significant figures.

Boyle's Formula

When describing the relationship between pressure and volume, the formula $\displaystyle P_{1} V_{1}= P_{2} V_{2}$ . In this formula, $P_{1}V_{1}$ is the initial pressure and volume. On the other side, $P_{2} V_{2}$ is final pressure and volume. So, to find a missing variable you must plug in the values you are given.
