Answer:

Moles of potassium chlorate reacted = 0.2529 moles

The amount of oxygen gas collected will be 12.8675 g

Explanation:

(a)

We are given:

Vapor pressure of water = 17.5 mmHg

Total vapor pressure = 748 mmHg

Vapor pressure of Oxygen gas = Total vapor pressure - Vapor pressure of water = (748 - 17.5) mmHg = 730.5 mmHg

To calculate the amount of Oxygen gas collected, we use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 730.5 mmHg  

V = Volume of the gas = 9.49 L

T = Temperature of the gas = [tex]20^oC=[20+273]K=293K[/tex]

R = Gas constant = [tex]62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}[/tex]

n = number of moles of oxygen gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]730.5mmHg\times 9.49L=n\times 62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 293K\\\\n=\frac{730.5\times 9.49}{62.3637\times 293}=0.3794mol[/tex]

According to the reaction shown below as:-

[tex]2KClO_3(s)\rightarrow 2KCl(s) +3O_2(g)[/tex]

3 moles of oxygen gas are produced when 2 moles of potassium chlorate undergoes reaction.

So,

0.3794 mol of oxygen gas are produced when [tex]\frac{2}{3}\times 0.3794[/tex] moles of potassium chlorate undergoes reaction.

Moles of potassium chlorate reacted = 0.2529 moles

(b)

We are given:

Vapor pressure of water = 17.5 mmHg

Total vapor pressure = 753 mmHg

Vapor pressure of Oxygen gas = Total vapor pressure - Vapor pressure of water = (753 - 17.5) mmHg = 735.5 mmHg

To calculate the amount of Oxygen gas collected, we use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 735.5 mmHg  

V = Volume of the gas = 9.99 L

T = Temperature of the gas = [tex]20^oC=[20+273]K=293K[/tex]

R = Gas constant = [tex]62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}[/tex]

n = number of moles of oxygen gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]735.5mmHg\times 9.99L=n\times 62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 293K\\\\n=\frac{735.5\times 9.99}{62.3637\times 293}=0.40211mol[/tex]

Moles of Oxygen gas = 0.40211 moles

Molar mass of Oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]0.037mol=\frac{\text{Mass of Oxygen gas}}{2g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of Oxygen gas}=(0.40211mol\times 32g/mol)=12.8675g[/tex]

Hence, the amount of oxygen gas collected will be 12.8675 g
