Answer:
41.67 mol
Explanation:
1 Litre of water = 1000g
Mole = mass / molar mass
Mass of 1 L of water = 1000 g
Molar mass of water (H2O) :
(H = 1, O = 16)
H2O = (1 * 2) + 16 = (2 + 16) = 18g/mol
Amount of water consumed = (3/4) of 1 litre
= (3/4) * 1000g
= 750g
Therefore mass of water consumed = 750g
Mole = 750g / 18g/mol
Mole of water consumed = 41.6666
= 41.67 mol
First, we need to get the molar mass of:
KClO3 = 39.1 + 35.5 + 3*16 = 122.6 g/mol
KCl =39.1 + 35.5 = 74.6 g/mol
O2 = 16*2 = 32 g/mol
From the given equation we can see that:
every 2 moles of KClO3 gives 3 moles of O2
when mass = moles * molar mass
∴ the mass of KClO3 = (2mol of KClO3*122.6g/mol) = 245.2 g
and the mass of O2 then = 3 mol * 32g/mol = 96 g
so, 245.2 g of KClO3 gives 96 g of O2
A) 2.72 g of KClO3:
when 245.2 KClO3 gives → 96 g O2
2.72 g KClO3 gives → X
X = 2.72 g KClO3 * 96 g O2/245.2 KClO3
= 1.06 g of O2
B) 0.361 g KClO3:
when 245.2 g KClO3 gives → 96 g O2
0.361 g KClO3 gives → X
∴ X = 0.361g KClO3 * 96 g / 245.2 g
= 0.141 g of O2
C) 83.6 Kg KClO3:
when 245.2 g KClO3 gives → 96 g O2
83.6 Kg KClO3 gives → X
∴X = 83.6 Kg* 96 g O2 /245.2 g KClO3
= 32.7 Kg of O2
D) 22.4 mg of KClO3:
when 245.2 g KClO3 gives → 96 g O2
22.4 mg KClO3 gives → X
∴X = 22.4 mg * 96 g O2 / 245.2 g KClO3
= 8.8 mg of O2
