Question
answer both
Explanation / Answer
a) Mass of NaHCO3= 15.6 gms Molecular weight of NaHCO3= 23+1+12+48= 84
Moles of NaHCO3= mass/molecular weight = 15.6/84=0.186 moles
From the reaction 2NaHCO3---> Na2CO3+ H2O+CO2
2 moles of NaHCO3 gives 1 mole of Na2CO3, 1 mole of CO2 and 1 mole of H2O
0.185 moles give 0.186/2= 0.093 moles of Na2CO3 and 0.093 mole of H2O and 0.093 mole of CO2
molecular weight of Na2CO3= 23*2+12+48= 106
Mass of Na2CO3= 106*0.093=9.858 gm of Na2CO3.
Mass of H2O =0.093*18=1.674 gm and Mass of CO2= 0.093*44=4.092 gms
total mass of CO2 and H2O= 1.674+4.092=5.766 gms
2.
Since only KClO3 undergoes decomposition, hence mas of KCLO3 in the mixture= mas of Mixture of KClO3 and NaCl- mass of mixture remaining= 4.832-3.474=1.358 gms
Percent of KClO3= 100*1.358/4.832=28.10
Molecular weight of KClO3= 39+35.5+3*16= 122.5g/mole
Moles of KClO3= 1.358/122.5=0.0110 mole
From the reaction of 2KClO3--à 2KCl+3O2
2 moles of KClO3 gives 2 moles of KCl and 3 moles of oxygen
0.0110 mole of KClO3 gives 0.0110 mole of KCl and 1.5*0.0110mole of oxygen
Moles of oxygen lost= 0.0165. molecular weight of O2= 32
Mass of O2 lost= 32*0.0165=0.528gms
