Answer:
6.72 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of calcium chlorate = 13.8 g
Mass of oxygen produced = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
Ca(ClO₃)₂ → CaCl₂ + 3O₂
Number of moles of calcium chlorate:
Number of moles = mass / molar mass
Number of moles = 13.8 g/ 206.98 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.07 mol
Now we will compare the moles of oxygen and calcium chlorate.
Ca(ClO₃)₂ : O₂
1 : 3
0.07 : 3×0.07=0.21 mol
Mass of oxygen:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.21 mol × 32 g/mol
Mass = 6.72 g
