A number of reactions can be used to generate common gases on a laboratory scale. For example, nitrogen can be produced from sodium metal and potassium nitrate as indicated by the balanced equation:
10Na(s)+2KNO3(s)=K2O(s)+5Na2O(s)+N2(g)
A common laboratory-scale reaction can also generate oxygen gas by heating potassium chlorate, as indicated by the balanced equation:
2KClO3(s)=2KCl(s)+3O2(g)

Enter your answer in scientific notation with 3 sig figs. Do not include any units in your answer. Do not round any intermediate calculations. Note: Your answer is assumed to be reduced to the highest power possible. Your Answer:arrow_forwardThe lead-acid storage battery is the oldest rechargeable battery in existence. It was invented in 1859 by French physician Gaston Plante and still retains application today, more than 150 years later. There are two reactions that take place during discharge of the lead-acid storage battery. In one step, sulfuric acid decomposes to form sulfur trioxide and water: H₂SO4(1)→ SO3(g) + H₂O(1) AH +113. kJ In another step, lead, lead(IV) oxide, and sulfur trioxide react to form lead(II) sulfate: Pb(s) + PbO₂(s) + 2SO3(g) 2 PbSO4(s) Calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of lead (II) sulfate from lead, lead(IV) oxide, and sulfuric acid from these reactions.

For your convenience, the molar mass of each substance Is shown below their formulas (in purple). Use this Information to make the requested calculation: 2 KCIO3(s) -> 2 KCI(s) + 3 02(g) 122.551 74.551 32 Determine the percent yield if the reaction consumes 2900 mg of potassium chlorate:arrow_forwardThe coefficients in a balanced chemical equation provide the mole-to- mole stoichiometry among the reactants and products. The molar mass (in g/mol) can be used as the conversion factor between moles and the mass of a substance. Thus, the balanced equation and molar masses can be used in conjunction with one another to calculate the masses involved in a reaction. Complete combustion of methane When methane (CH4) burns, it reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water. The unbalanced equation for this reaction is CH₂(g) + O₂(g) →CO₂(g) + H₂O(g) This type of reaction is referred to as a complete combustion reaction.
