CHEMISTRY
Balance each of the following redox equations. Unless stated otherwise, assume that the reaction occurs in acidic solution. $\mathrm { KClO }$ _ { 3 } + $\mathrm { HCl }$ \longrightarrow $\mathrm { Cl }$ _ { 2 } + $\mathrm { H }$ _ { 2 } $\mathrm { O }$ + $\mathrm { KCl }$$
CHEMISTRY
A 50.75-g sample of water at 75.6 °C is added to a sample of water at 24.1 °C in a constant-pressure calorimeter. If the final temperature of the combined water is 39.4 °C and the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 26.3 J/°C, calculate the mass of the water originally in the calorimeter.
CHEMISTRY
A dark brown binary compound contains oxygen and a metal. It is 13.38% oxygen by mass. Heating it moderately drives off some of the oxygen and gives a red binary compound that is 9.334% oxygen by mass. Strong heating drives off more oxygen and gives still another binary compound, which is only 7.168% oxygen by mass. (a) Compute the mass of oxygen that is combined with 1.000 g of the metal in each of these three oxides. (b) Assume that the empirical formula of the first compound is MO2 (where M represents the metal). Give the empirical formulas of the second and third compounds. (c) Name the metal.
