Question

A sample of NaClO3 is converted by heat to NaCl with a loss of 0.16 g of oxygen. The residue is dissolved in water and precipitated as AgCl. The mass of AgCl (in g) obtained will be:
[Given : Molar mass of AgCl=143.5gmol1]

Solution

2NaClO3Δ2NaCl+3O2

1 moles 3 moles
2×58.5g3×32g
x?0.16g
Now,
x2×58.5g=0.16g3×32g

x=0.16×2×58.53×32g

=0.195g

Now,
NaCl(aq)+Ag+(aq)AgCl(s)+Na+(aq)
58.5g------------------------------143.5g
0.195g-----------------------------?(g)

Now,
y143.5=0.19558.5

y=0.195×143.558.5

=0.478g
Mass of AgCl attained =0.478g
