Answer:
23.0733 L
Explanation:
The mass of hydrogen peroxide present in 125 g of 50% of hydrogen peroxide solution:
Mass = 62.5 g
Molar mass of = 34 g/mol
The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:
Thus, moles are:
Consider the given reaction as:
2 moles of hydrogen peroxide decomposes to give 1 mole of oxygen gas.
Also,
1 mole of hydrogen peroxide decomposes to give 1/2 mole of oxygen gas.
So,
1.8382 moles of hydrogen peroxide decomposes to give
So,
Pressure = 746 / 760 atm = 0.9816 atm
Temperature = 27 °C
The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:
T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15
So,
T₁ = (27 + 273.15) K = 300.15 K
Using ideal gas equation as:
PV=nRT
where,
P is the pressure
V is the volume
n is the number of moles
T is the temperature
R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol
Applying the equation as:
0.9816 atm × V = 0.9191 mol × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 300.15 K
<u>⇒V = 23.0733 L</u>
