Oxygen gas generated by the decomposition of potassium chlorate is collected. The volume of oxygen collected at `24^(@)C` and atmospheric pressure of `760 m m Hg` is `128 mL`. Calculate the mass `(` in grams `)` of oxygen gas obtained. The pressure of water vapour at `24^(@)C` is `22.4 m m Hg`.

A

1.36

B

1.52 g

C

0.163 g

D

1.63 g

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
From the total pressure and the vapour pressure of water we can calculate the partial pressure of `O_(2)`
`P_(O_(2)) = P_(T) - P_(H_(2)O) = 760 - 22.4 = 737.6 mm Hg`
From the ideal gas equation we write
`m = (PVM)/(RT) = ((0.974 atm) (0.128L) (32.0 g//mol))/((0.0821L atm//K mol) (273 + 24)K) = 0.163g`
