Small amounts of oxygen can be generated by the thermal decomposition of KClO 3; 2 KClO 3(s) ↔ 2 KCl(s) + 3 O 2(g) A sample of KClO 3 was decomposed and oxygen collected over water at 14.00 °C (Vapor pressure = 11.99 torr). How many liters would be collected if 2.631 g of KClO 3 decomposed and the gas was collected at 304.3 torr?

QUESTION 10

  1. Small amounts of oxygen can be generated by the thermal decomposition of KClO 3;

    2 KClO 3(s) ↔ 2 KCl(s) + 3 O 2(g)


    A sample of KClO 3 was decomposed and oxygen collected over water at 14.00 °C (Vapor pressure = 11.99 torr). How many liters would be collected if 2.631 g of KClO 3 decomposed and the gas was collected at 304.3 torr?

    Key Concept:Gases and reactions over water.
    Strategy: Reactants always react in a proportionate way. One can determine the mole of gases involved from the stoichiometry in the balanced reaction. Remember when you collect the gas over water you must subtract it's contribution from the total pressure of the gases in the collection device.
