Explanation:
- Write and balance the equation
2KClO->2KCl+O_22KClO→2KCl+O2 - I assumed that the
mKClO=0.250gmKClO=0.250g . Per convention, convert it to moles. The molar mass ofKClO=(90.5g)/(mol)KClO=90.5gmol which is obtainable from the periodic table; i.e.,
etaKClO=0.250cancel(gKClO)xx(1molKClO)/(90.5cancel(gKClO)
etaKClO=0.002762mol - Referring to the balanced equation, find the
etaO_2 , where:
=0.002762cancel(molKClO)xx(1molO_2)/(2cancel(molKClO))
=0.001381molO_2 - At
STP , mol of a gas will occupy a volume of 22.4L. This relationship will serve as the conversion factor to find the volume ofO_2 collected at this condition.
V_(O_2)=0.001381cancel(molO_2)xx(22.4L" of " O_2)/(1cancel(molO_2))
V_(O_2)=0.03094L" of " O_2~~31.0mL" of "O_2
