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 gB. 1.52 gC. 0.163 gD. 1.63 g |
Answer» Correct Answer - c (c) Form the total pressure and the vapour pressure of water we can calculate the partial pressure of `O_(2)`. `P_(O_(2))=P_(T)-P_(H_(2)O)` `=760-22.4` `=737.6 mm " "Hg` From the ideal gas equation we write `m=(PVM)/(RT)` `=((0.974atm)(0.128L)(32.0g//mol))/((0.0821Latm//K mol)(273+24)K)` `=0.163g` |
