Calculate the mass of O2 produced by the decomposition of KClO3 when 856 mL of O2 is collected over water at 20.0°C and 1.015 atm. (The vapor pressure of water at 20.0°C is 17.5 torr.)

Respuesta :

1.1296 grams of O2 is produced.  

Explanation:

n = number of mole

[tex]n = \frac{PV}{RT}\\[/tex]

[tex]P = 1.015 - (\frac{17.5}{760})\\ P =0.992 atm[/tex]

[tex]T = 273.15 + 20.0 = 293.15 K[/tex]

R = 0.082057

V = 0.856 L

Therefore,

[tex]n = \frac{0.992 \times 0.856}{0.082057 \times293.15}[/tex]

n = 0.0353 mole

g = 0.0353 mole x 32.0 g/mole = 1.1296 g of O2

The mass of O2 produced is 1.126g grams

Calculation of mass:

Since the decomposition of KClO3 when 856 mL of O2 is collected over water at 20.0°C and 1.015 atm. The vapor pressure of water at 20.0°C is 17.5 torr.

Now we know that

n = PV/RT

Here P should be = 1.015-(17.5/760)

= 0.992 atm

Now the T should be

= 273.15 + 20.0

= 293.15 K

Since R = 0.082057 and V = 0.856 L

Now the mass is

= (0.992*0.856) / (0.82057 * 293.15)

= 0.0353 mole

Now g should be

= 0.0353 mole x 32.0 g/mole

= 1.1296 g of O2
