An orange chemist needs to prepare some bromine in carbon tetrachloride for bromine test of unsaturation. He decided that the reaction of potassium bromide with potassium permanganate and sulfuric acid is the simplest approach. He reacts 250 grams of potassium bromide with 200 grams of potassium permanganate, and 450 grams of sulfuric acid. How many grams of bromine were produced with 92.5% yield? How many grams of potassium sulfate and how many water molecules were formed?
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
