(a)
Interpretation:
The decomposition reaction that yields the most
Concept introduction:
At first, write balanced chemical equation for each reaction. Then compare moles of each reaction and find the reaction where highest moles of oxygen formed.
(b)
Interpretation:
The decomposition that yields the most
Concept introduction:
First, write balanced chemical equation for each reaction. Then calculate oxygen formed per gram of reactant.
Mass can be calculated from number of moles and molar mass as follows:
Here, n is number of moles and M is molar mass.
