Question

NaClO3 is used, even in spacecrafts, to produce O2. The daily consumption of pure O2 by a person is 492 L at 1 atm, 300 K. How much amount of NaClO3, in grams, is required to produce O2 for the daily consumption of a person at 1 atm, 300 K ?
NaClO3(s)+Fe(s)O2(g)+FeO(s)+NaCl(s)
R=0.082L atm mol1K1

Open in App
Solution

Mol of NaClO3 = mol of O2
Mol of O2=PVRT=1×4920.082×300=20mol
Molar mass of NaClO3 is 106.5
So, mass =20×106.5=2130g=2.13kg
