Question

If the decomposition of a sample of k c l o 3 kclox3 produces 3. 29 g of o 2 ox2 , what was the mass (g) of the original sample?

Answer 1

The mass (g) of the original sample after decomposition is 8.3983 g.

A decomposition reaction can be described as a chemical reaction wherein one reactant breaks down into or extra merchandise.

explanation:

Reaction          2KClO₃ ⇒ 2KCl + 3O₂

moles               2               2            3

molar mass    122.55        74.55    32

Given, Mass of O₂ = 3.29g ⇒ moles of O₂

                                            =  (3.29/32) = 0.1028

3 moles of O₂  produced by 2 moles of KClO₃

Therefore, 0.1028 moles of O₂  produced by (2*0.1028/3) = 0.06853 moles of Kclo₃

Mass of KClo₃ in original sample is = moles * molar mass

                                                        = 0.06853 * 122.55

                                                       = 8.3983 g

A decomposition response occurs whilst one reactant breaks down into or extra merchandise. this may be represented through the general equation: XY → X+ Y. Examples of decomposition reactions consist of the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen, and the breakdown of water to hydrogen and oxygen.
