Dissolving potassium chlorate (KClO3) is even more endothermic than potassium chloride.
Your task is to determine how many grams of potassium chlorate you would have to add to 100 mL of water to produce the same temperature change as 5 grams of KCl.

The mass of KClO₃ that will absorb the same heat as 5 g of KCl is 3.424 g

Explanation:

Here we have

Heat of solution of KClO₃ = + 41.38 kJ/mol.

Heat of solution of KCl (+17.24 kJ/mol)

Therefore, 1 mole of KCl absorbs +17.24 kJ during dissolution

Molar mass of KCl = 74.5513 g/mol

Molar mass of KClO₃ = 122.55 g/mol

74.5513 g of KCl absorbs +17.24 kJ during dissolution, therefore, 5 g will absorb

Therefore the amount of KClO₃ to be dissolved to absorb 1.156 kJ of energy is given by

122.55 g of KClO₃ absorbs + 41.38 kJ, therefore,

Therefore the mass of KClO₃ that will absorb the same heat as 5 g of KCl = 3.424 g.

the electronic configuration of an atom with eight electrons is 1s²2s²2p⁴. the orbital diagrams are shown in the figure.

as per the hunds rule:

1. electrons tend to avoid being in the same orbital as per as practicable.

2. electrons in different orbitals of the same energy will have their spin parallel.

this can be illustrated from the multiplicity of the orbitals of the atom. as there are four electrons in the p orbital and p orbital has 3 sub-shells. the electrons can be fed in different ways as shown in the figure but the correct orbital diagram will be as per the hunds rule.

solute : a solute is a substance that is dissolved in another substance is known as a solvent. it is mixed with a special mixture know as homogeneous mixture.

solvent: a solvent is a substance that dissolved a solute, which results in a solution is known as solvent.
