Oxygen gas generated by the decomposition of potassium chlorate is collected. The volume of oxygen collected at `24^(@)C` and atmospheric pressure of `760 m m Hg` is `128 mL`. Calculate the mass `(` in grams `)` of oxygen gas obtained. The pressure of water vapour at `24^(@)C` is `22.4 m m Hg`.A. `1.36`B. `1.52g`C. `0.163g`D. `1.63g` |
Answer» Correct Answer - C From the total pressure and the vapour pressure of water we can calculate the partial pressure of `O_(2)`. `P_(O_(2))=P_(tau)-P_(H_(2)O)` `=660-22.4` `=737.6mm Hg` From the ideal gas equation we write. `m=(PVM)/(RT) =((0.974atm)(0.128L)(32.0g//mol))/((0.0821Latm//Kmol)(273+24)K)=0.163g.` |
