Radio Terms and Abbreviations. The nomenclature of the radio hobby can be bewildering! The following is a list of some of the more widely used (and confused!) terms and abbreviations found in ham radio, shortwave radio, and scanner monitoring.
3 The theoretical value of the % oxygen in potassium chlorate is calculated from the formula KClO 3 with a molar mass = 122.6 g/mol. Frequently it is interesting â and instructive-to determine the percent error of an experimental. determination.ou will calculate the theoretical value from the chemical formula and compare your experimental value to the theoretical value. Background: When potassium chlorate (KClO. 3) is heated, it undergoes chemical decomposition. Oxygen gas (O 2) is given off and potassium chloride (KCl) remains as the residue.
Atmospheric Air contains approximately 21% oxygen (O2) by volume. The other 79% of other gases is mostly nitrogen (N2), so we will assume air to be composed of 21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen by volume. Thus each mole of oxygen needed to oxidize the hydrocarbon is accompanied by 79/21 = 3.76 moles of nitrogen. Using this combination the molecular mass of air becomes 29 [kg/kmol]. Note that it is assumed that the nitrogen will not normally undergo any chemical reaction.
