Answer:
[tex]m_{MnO_2}=1.378gMnO_2[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, we first apply the ideal gas equation to compute the moles of produced chlorine:
[tex]n_{Cl_2}=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{765 Torr*\frac{1atm}{760Torr}*0.385L}{0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*298.15K} =0.01585molCl_2[/tex]
Then, by considering the given reaction, applying the stoichiometry, that shows a 1 to 1 relationship between chlorine and manganese dioxide, we find:
[tex]m_{MnO_2}=0.01585molCl_2*\frac{1molMnO_2}{1molCl_2} *\frac{86.937gMnO_2}{1molMnO_2} \\m_{MnO_2}=1.378gMnO_2[/tex]
Best regards.
