Answer:
13.44 L
Explanation:
Given data:
Volume of oxygen produced = ?
Mass of sodium nitrate = 100 g
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2NaNO₃ → 2NaNO₂ + O₂
Number of moles of sodium nitrate:
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 100 g/ 85 g/mol
Number of moles = 1.2 mol
Now we will compare the moles of NaNO₃ with oxygen
NaNO₃ : O₂
2 : 1
1.2 : 1/2 × 1.2 = 0.6 mol
Volume:
one mole = 22.4 L
0.6 mol × 22.4 = 13.44 L
