Solution

The correct option is D 0.48
The molar mass of O2=32g/mol
0.16g of oxygen =0.16g32g/mol=0.005mol
2NaClO32NaCl+3O2
NaCl+AgNO3AgCl+NaNO3

3 moles of O2=2 moles of NaCl=2 moles of AgCl.
0.005 moles of O2=0.005×23 moles of AgCl
Molar mass of AgCl=143.5gmol1
The mass of AgCl (in g) obtained will be
143.5 g/mol1×0.005×23mol=0.48g
