Answer:
V = 11.51 L
Explanation:
Given data:
Volume of oxygen gas produced = ?
Pressure = 0.820 atm
Temperature = 153°C (153+273 = 426K)
Mass of KClO₃ = 22.4 g
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3 O₂
Number of moles of KClO₃:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 22.4 g/ 122.5 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.18 mol
now we will compare the moles of KClO₃ and O₂
KClO₃ : O₂
2 : 3
0.18 : 3/2×0.18 = 0.27
Volume of oxygen:
PV = nRT
R = general gas constant (0.0821 atm.L/mol.K)
0.820 atm× V = 0.27 mol × 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K ×426 K
V = 9.44 atm.L / 0.820 atm
V = 11.51 L
