Answer:

The percentage yield of O2 is 66.7%

Explanation:

Reaction for decomposition of potassium chlorate is:

2KClO₃ →  2KCl  +  3O₂

The products are potassium chloride and oxygen.

Let's find out the moles of chlorate.

Mass / Molar mass = Moles

12.3 g / 123 g/mol = 0.1 mol

So ratio is 2:3, 2 moles of chlorate produce 3 mol of oxygen.

Then, 0.1 mol of chlorate may produce (0.1  .3)/ 2 = 0.15 moles

Let's convert the moles of produced oxygen, as to find out the theoretical yield.

0.15 mol . 32 g/ 1mol = 4.8 g

To calculate the percentage yield, the formula is

(Produced Yield / Theoretical yield) . 100 =

(3.2g / 4.8g) . 100 = 66.7 %

A compound that contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen is 48.64% C and 8.16% H by mass. What is the empirical formula of thi
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The empirical formula of this substance is:

C_3H_6O_2

Explanation:

To find the empirical formula of this substance we need the molecular weight of the elements Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen, we can find this information in the periodic table:

- C: 12.01 g/mol

- H: 1.00 g/mol

- O: 15.99 g/mol

With the information in this exercise we can suppose in 100 g of the substance we have:

C: 48.64 g

H: 8.16 g

O: 43.2 g (100 g - 48.64g - 8.16g= 43.2 g)

Now, we need to divide these grams by the molecular weight:

C=\frac{48.64g}{12.01 g/mol} =4.05 mol\\H=\frac{8.16g}{1.00g/mol}= 8.16 mol\\O=\frac{43.2g}{15.99 g/mol} = 2.70 mol

We need to divide these results by the minor result, in this case O=2.70 mol

C=\frac{4.05mol}{2.70mol}= 1.5\\H= \frac{8.16mol}{2.70 mol} = 3.02 \\O=\frac{2.70mol}{2.70mol} = 1

We need to find integer numbers to find the empirical formula, for this reason we multiply by 2:

C= 1.5*2=3\\H= 3.02*2= 6.04 \\O= 1*2=2

This numbers are very close to integer numbers, so we can find the empirical formula as  subscripts in the chemical formula:

C_3H_6O_2

How does 0.5 m sucrose (molecular mass 342) solution compare to 0.5 m glucose (molecular mass 180) solution?
mash [69]

Answer : Both solutions contain 3.011 X 10^{23} molecules.

Explanation : The number of molecules of 0.5 M of sucrose is equal to the number of molecules in 0.5 M of glucose. Both solutions contain 3.011 x 10^{23} molecules.

Avogadro's Number is  N_{A} =  6.022 X 10^{23} which represents particles per mole and particles may be typically molecules, atoms, ions, electrons, etc.

Here, only molarity values are given; where molarity is a measurement of concentration in terms of moles of the solute per liter of solvent.

Since each substance has the same concentration, 0.5 M, each will have the same number of molecules present per liter of solution.

Addition of molar mass for individual substance is not needed. As if both are considered in 1 Liter they would have same moles which is 0.5.

We can calculate the number of molecules for each;

Number of molecules  = N_{A} X M;

∴  Number of molecules =  6.022 X 10^{23} X 0.5 mol/L X 1 L which will be  = 3.011 X 10^{23}

Thus, these solutions compare to each other in that they have not only the same concentration, but they will have the same number of solvated sugar molecules. But the mass of glucose dissolved will be less than the mass of sucrose.

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The cell reaction reaches equilibrium quickly and the cell emf becomes zero.

Explanation:

The purpose of a salt bridge is not to move electrons from the electrolyte, its main function is to maintain charge balance because the electrons are moving from one-half cell to the other.

A solution of a salt that dissociates easily is normally used. Water is ineffective at functioning as a salt bridge. Hence the effect stated in the answer.
