When potassium chlorate is heated, it decomposes into potassium chloride andoxygen. This can cause a spontaneous combustion reaction when it comes in contactwith sugar, like sucrose(C12H22011), such as the kind found in a gummy bear. Whenthe gummy bear is dropped, the oxide from the decomposition of potassium chloratereacts with the sucrose. The overall reaction is seen below:C12H2„O1 (8) + 8 KC10, (s) → 12 Co, (8)+ 8KCIO3 (s)→ 12 CO211Н20 (g+8КCI (sThis reaction is an exothermic reaction because energy is released, in the form ofheat, which can produce light, as seen by the purple hued flames.a) If 5 g of sucrose (C12H22011) and 25 g of potassium chloriate (KCIO3) are used inthe reaction, what is the limiting reactant.b) Based on the identity of the limiting reactant, how much carbon dioxide (CO2) isproduced?

[Review Topics] [References] "Smelling salts," which are used to revive someone who has fainted, typically contain ammonium carbonate, (NH4)2CO3. Ammonium carbonate decomposes readily to form ammonia, carbon dioxide, and water. The strong odor of the ammonia usually restores consciousness in the person who has fainted. The unbalanced equation is (NH4)2CO3 (8)→ NH3(g) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(g) Calculate the mass of ammonia gas that is produced if 0.850 g of ammonium carbonate decomposes completely. g NH3 Submit Answer Mastered Retry Entire Group 8 more group attempts remaining Previous Next Save and Exit

The extraction of aluminum metal from the aluminum hydroxide in bauxite ore by the Hall-Héroult process is one of the most remarkable success stories of late 19th century practical chemistry, turning aluminum from a rare and precious metal into the cheap commodity it is today. In the first step, aluminum hydroxide reacts to form alumina and water: 2 Al(OH)3(s)-Al₂O3(s) + 3 H₂O(g) In the second step, alumina and carbon react to form aluminum and carbon dioxide: 2 Al₂O3(s)+3 C(s)-4 Al(s) + 3 CO₂(g) Write the net chemical equation for the production of aluminum from aluminum hydroxide and carbon. Be sure your equation is balanced. Explanation Check 80 E5 ローロ X On F6 S MacBook Air F7 DII FB FO A Ⓒ2023 McGraw Hill LLC. All Rights Reserved.

In 2014, the World Anti-Doping Agency announced that Xenon gas would be added to the list of banned substances for athletes. Apparently since 2004, Russian athletes had been inhaling xenon while training, with the physiological effect being to boost the capacity of blood to carry oxygen needs for aerobically demanding sports. If an athlete inhaled an average of 1.75 x 10-4 moles of Xe per breath while sleeping, with an average rate of 13.0 breaths per minute for 8.50 hours how many total GRAMS of Xe(g) were inhaled while sleeping? please show all calculations
NASA’s Perseverance mission left Earth for Mars in July 2021. It was equipped with 1,000. lbs of hydrazine for navigation in outer space. Below is the major pathway of decomposition of hydrazine: 3 N2H4 (l) à 4 NH3 (g) + N2 (g)If all of the hydrazine is burned, how many kg of each product are created on its journey? (1 kg = 2.2 lb)
(3) A container holding NO2 and CO gas will lose NO2 gas via the reaction NO2 (g) + CO (g) → NO (g) + CO2 (g) A chemist measures the [NO2] over time and finds that plotting 1/[NO2 ] versus time yields a straight line with a slope of 3.56×10-2 M-1·s-1. If the container originally held 1.00 M NO2, what is the concentration of NO2 after 1.50 hour [NO2]1.5 hrs = ___________ How long will it take the [NO2] to drop to 20% of its initial concentration of 1.00 M?
