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 22ºc and a pressure of 734 torr. calculate the mass percent of nahco₃ in the original sample. (at 22ºc the vapor pressure of water is 19.8 torr.)

z = 18,46%

Explanation:

First we need to discover the mole number of the O2 produced so we use PV=nRT

734 torr * 57.2*10^-3 L = n 62.3637 * 295.15 K

n =

n =

n = 2,28 * 10^-3 mole

The reaction to the decomposition is:

2 NaClO3 --> 2 NaCl + 3 O2

2 mole NaClO3 - 3 moles O2

x - 2,28*10^-3 moles O2

X= 1,52*10^-3 moles of NaClO3

1 moles of NaClO3 - 106,44 g

1,52*10^-3 moles of NaClO3 - y

y = 0,1617 g

0,8765 g - 100%

0,1617 g - z

z = 18,46%

answer: a tank of height h is filled with water and sits on the ground. water squirts from a hole at a height y above the ground and has a range r. for two y values, 0 and h, r is zero. determine the value of y for which the range will be a maximum.
