How many grams of potassium chlorate must be heated to produce 30.0g of oxygen? socratic. org

76.56g

Explanation:

Firstly, to do this we need a correct and balanced equation for the decomposition of potassium chlorate.

2KClO3 —-> 2KCl + 3O2

From the balanced equation, we can see that 2 moles of potassium chlorate yielded 3 moles of oxygen gas

We need to know the actual number of moles of oxygen gas produced. To do this, we divide the mass of the oxygen gas by its molar mass. Its molar mass is 32g/mol

The number of moles is thus 30/32 = 0.9375 moles

Now we can calculate the number of moles of potassium chlorate decomposed.

We simply do this by (0.9375 * 2)/3 = 0.625 moles

Now to get the number of grammes of potassium chlorate decomposed, we simply multiply this number of moles by the molecular mass. The molecular mass of KClO3 is 39 + 35.5 + 3(16) = 122.5g/mol

The amount in grammes is thus 122.5 * 0.625 = 76.56g

the volume increases

water and alcohols have similar properties because water molecules contain hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and with alcohol molecules, and likewise alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other alcohol molecules as well as with water.
