Question

Which of the following release oxygen on heating at high temperature?

• A. $K_{2}C{r}_2{O}_7$
• B. $KMn{O}_4$
• C. $KCl{O}_3$
• D. All of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of these

Strongly heating Potassium dichromate, Potassium Permanganate or Potassium Chlorate gives oxygen gas.

Heating above ${400}^{\circ }C$, the following reactions takes place
$4K_{2}C{r}_2{O}_7\to 4K_{2}C{r}_2{O}_4+2C{r}_2{O}_3+3O_2$
$2KMn{O}_4\to K_{2}Mn{O}_4+Mn{O}_2+O_2$
$2KCl{O}_3\to 2KCl+3O_2$
Thus all of them release oxygen gas on heating above ${400}^{\circ }C$. These reactions can be used in the preparation of oxygen gas in laboratory.
