Question

1.0 g sample of KClO3 was heated under such conditions that a part of it decomposed according to the equation:
2KClO32KCl+3O2,
and the remaining underwent change according to the equation:
4KClO3+3KClO4+KCl.
If the amount of O2 evolved was 146.8 mL at STP, calculate the percentage by weight of KClO4 in the residue.

Solution

The correct option is A 49.87
2KClO3245g2KCl149g+3O296g
4KClO3490g3KClO4415.5g+KCl74.5
Given, total weight of the sample =1 g
Let x g of KClO3 be converted to KCl and O2 and (1x) g be converted to KClO4 and KCl.
Given, 146.8 mL of O2 was evolved at STP.
Weight of O2=146.8×3222400=0.2097 g
Weight of KClO3 converted to KCl and O2= x=245×0.209796=0.5352 g
Weight of KClO4 formed from remaining KClO3 =415.5×(1x)490=0.3941 g
Weight of residue =1 weight of O2=10.2097 g
% of KClO4 in the residue =0.3941×100(10.2097)=49.87%
