Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The average velocity of the given gas at SATP condition is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
According to the kinetic theory of gases, there are large numbers of identical particles that are present in gases. These particles are tiny and very far from each other. The volume occupied by the gaseous molecules is almost negligible in comparison of the space that is present between the particles. Therefore, gases are highly compressible. In kinetic theory, the pressure of an ideal gas is given by an expression,

- At elevated temperatures, sodium chlorate decomposes to produce sodium chloride and oxygen gas. A 0.8765-g sample of impure sodium chlorate was heated until the production of oxygen gas ceased. The oxygen gas collected over water occupied 57.2 mL at a temperature of 22C and a pressure of 734 torr. Calculate the mass percent of NaClO3 in the original sample.
