On heating, a sample of NaClO3, it gets converted 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 :

Solution
The correct option is D0.48 The molar mass of O2=32g/mol 0.16g of oxygen =0.16g32g/mol=0.005mol 2NaClO3→2NaCl+3O2 NaCl+AgNO3→AgCl+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 ofAgCl=143.5gmol−1
The mass of AgCl (in g) obtained will be 143.5g/mol−1×0.005×23mol=0.48g
