Maria and miquel were enjoying the fireworks when they got into a chemistry argument. maria insisted that the fireworks were the result of a chemical reaction. miguel disagreed. what would you tell them to solve this argument? a) it is a change of state, solid to gas, due to the addition of energy. b) it was a physical reaction since the fuse was lit and heat was produced. c) the color changes and the release of energy indicate a chemical reaction. d) it is an endothermic reaction because energy was added; therefore it is a chemical reaction, eliminate

  the grams     of oxygen gas   that can be produced     is 20.6   grams of o₂

calculation

2liclo₃ →   2 licl + 3 o₂

step 1:   find the moles of liclo₃

moles = mass÷ molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of liclo₃ =6.9 +35.5   +(16 x3) =90.4 g/mol

moles=38.7 g÷90.4 g/mol=0.4281   moles

step 2:   use the   mole ratio   to calculate the moles of o2

from equation above, liclo₃: o₂   is 2: 3  

therefore the moles of   o₂=0.4281 moles x3/2 =0.6422   moles

step 3: find mass   of o₂

mass= moles x molar mass

from periodic table the   molar mass of   o₂ = 16 x2= 32 g/mol

mass=0.6422   moles   x   32 g/mol = 20.6 grams of o₂

this is poiselle's equation from fluid mechanic in physics. mech eng
