Calcium perbromate, Ca(BrO4)2 (m.w.= 327.9 g/mol) decomposes upon heating to release oxygen gas according to the equation below.  A sample containing Ca(BrO4)2 is heated and the  gas produced collected by downward displacement of water at 50.0°C.  The total volume of gas collected was 438.0 ml at an atmospheric pressure of 680.0 torr. How many grams of Ca(BrO4)2 were in the original sample? Calculate the mole fraction of oxygen gas in the collected gas mixture.
