Question

What volume of O2 collected at 22.0 and 728 mmHg would be produce by the decomposition of 8.15 g KClO3?

Answer 1

Answer:

There is 2.52 L of O2 collected

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given:

Temperature = 22.0 °C

Pressure = 728 mmHg = 728 /760 = 0.958 atm

Mass of KClO3 = 8.15 grams

Molar mass of KClO3 = 122.55 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

2KClO3(s) → 2KCl(s) + 3O2(g)

Step 3: Calculate moles of KClO3

Moles KClO3 = mass KClO3 / molar mass KClO3

Moles KClO3= 8.15 grams / 122.55 g/mol

Moles KClO3 = 0.0665 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of O2

For 2 moles of KClO3 we'll have 2 moles of KCl and 3 moles of O2 produced

For 0.0665 moles of KClO3 we have 3/2 * 0.0665 = 0.09975 moles

Step 5: Calculate vlume of O2

p*V = n*R*T

V = (n*R*T)/p

⇒ with n = the number of moles O2 = 0.09975 moles

⇒ with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/K*mol

⇒ with T = 22.0 °C = 273 +22 = 295 Kelvin

⇒ with p = 0.958 atm

V = (0.09975 * 0.08206 * 295) / 0.958

V = 2.52 L

There is 2.52 L of O2 collected
