Answer to Question #148689 in General Chemistry for Vitalis

Question

1.How many grams of potassium chloride, KCl, are produced if 50.0g of potassium chlorate, KClO3, decompose?
2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2
2.How many grams of hydrogen, H2, are necessary to react completely with
20.0 g of nitrogen, N2?
N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3
3.How many grams of AgCl, silver chloride, are produced from 65.0 g of AgNO3, silver nitrate?
2AgNO3 + BaCl2 → 2AgCl + Ba(NO3) 2

Answer 1

1. M(KClO₃) = 122.55 g/mol

n(KClO₃) $= \frac{50.0}{122.55} = 0.408 \;mol$

n(KCl) = n(KClO₃) = 0.408 mol

M(KCl) = 74.55 g/mol

m(KCl) $= 0.408 \times 74.55 = 30.41 \;g$

2. M(N₂) = 28.01 g/mol

n(N₂) $= \frac{20.0}{28.01} = 0.714 \;mol$

n(H₂) = 3n(N₂) $= 3 \times 0.714 = 2.142 \;mol$

M(H₂) = 2 g/mol

m(H₂) $= 2 \times 2.142 = 4.284 \;g$

3. M(AgNO₃) = 169.87 g/mol

n(AgNO₃) $= \frac{65.0}{169.87} = 0.382 \;mol$

n(AgCl) = n(AgNO₃) = 0.382 mol

M(AgCl) = 143.32 g/mol

m(AgCl) = $0.382 \times 143.32 = 54.75 \;g$
