How many grams of oxygen gas will be produced when 2.50 moles of potassium chlorate is decomposed?
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, since the decomposition of potassium chlorate is:
We can see a 2:3 mole ratio between potassium chlorate and oxygen (molar mass 32.0 g/mol), thus, via stoichiometry, we compute the mass of oxygen that are produced by the decomposition of 2.50 moles of this reactant:

Answer:
49.2 g/mol
Explanation:
Let's first take account of what we have and convert them into the correct units.
Volume= 236 mL x () = .236 L
Pressure= 740 mm Hg x ()= 0.97 atm
Temperature= 22C + 273= 295 K
mass= 0.443 g
Molar mass is in grams per mole, or MM= or MM=
. They're all the same.
We have mass (0.443 g) we just need moles. We can find moles with the ideal gas constant PV=nRT. We want to solve for n, so we'll rearrange it to be
n=, where R (constant)= 0.082 L atm mol-1 K-1
Let's plug in what we know.
n=
n= 0.009 mol
Let's look back at MM= and plug in what we know.
MM=
MM= 49.2 g/mol
