Could someone please check my work on some of these problems so I can fix whatever I need to. I need to know if I'm doing this right because our test is tomorrow on this unit.

Final Answers are in BOLD


STOICHIOMETRY

C. How many moles of potassium chlorate are formed? 1.22 mol KClO3 x 2 KCl / 2KClO3 = 1.22 mol KCl

D. How many moles of oxygen are formed? 1.22 mol KClO3 x 3 O2 / 2KClO3 = 1.83 mol O2

E. What is the mass of the potassium chloride? 74.5g x 1.22 mol = 90.89g KCl

F. What is the mass of the oxygen? 32g x 1.83 mol = 58.56g O2

G. What is the volume of the oxygen? 1.83 mol O2 x 22.4L / 1 mol = 40.992 L O2


2. Iron (III) reacts with hydrochloric acid. If 25 liters of hydrogen gas are formed at STP.

A. Balanced Equation. 2Fe3 + 18 HCl --> 6FeCl3 + 9H2

B. What is the mass of the Iron (III)? 25/22.4 = 1.12 mol H2

1.12 mol H2 x 2 mol Fe3/9 mol H2 = 0.25 mol Fe3

0.25 mol Fe3 x 56g Fe3 = 14g Fe3

C. What is the mass of the hydrochloric acid? 1.12 mol H2 x 18 mol HCl/9 mol H2 = 2.24 mol HCl

2.24 mol HCl x 36.5g HCl/1 mol HCl = 81.76g HCl

D. What is the mass of the Iron (III) Chloride? 1.12 mol H2 x 6 mol FeCl3/9 mol H2 = 0.75 mol FeCl3

0.75 mol x 91.5g FeCl3/1 mol FeCl3 = 68.63g FeCl3

E. What is the mass of the Hydrogen gas? 1.12 mol x 2g H2/1 mol H2 = 2.24g H2


3. Phosphorous reacts with Oxygen to yield Diphosphorous Pentaoxide (gas). If 50 liters of Oxygen is used:

A. Balanced Equation. 4P +5O2 --> 2(P2O5)

B. What is the volume of the Diphosphorous Pentaoxide? 50 L/22.4L = 2.23 mol O2

2.23 mol O2 x 2 mol P2O5/5 mol O2 = 0.89 mol P2O5

0.89 mol P2O5 x 22.4 L/1 mol P2O5 = 19.94 L P2O5

C. What is the mass of the Diphosphorous Pentaoxide? 0.89 mol P2O5 x 142g P2O5/1 mol P2O5 = 126.38g P2O5

D. What is the mass of the Phosphorous? 2.23 mol O2 x 4 mol P/5 mol O2 = 1.78 mol P

1.78 mol P x 31g P/1 mol P = 55.18g P

E. What is the mass of the Oxygen? 2.23 mol O2 x 32g O2/1 mol O2 = 71.36g O2

F. How many molecules of oxygen was used? 2.23 mol O2 x 6.02x10^23 mc O2 = 13.42x10^23 mc O2

G. How many molecules of Diphosphorous Pentaoxide were formed? 0.89 mol P2O5 x 6.02x10^23 mc P2O5 = 5.36x10^23 mc P2O5

H. How many atoms of Phosphorous reacted? 1.78 mol P x 6.02x10^23 atoms P = 10.72x10^23 at P

Correct.

Now you know answers to two questions ;)
 
Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'
TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
