n an experiment to determine the number of moles of dry oxygen formed, potassium chlorate decomposes to form oxygen gas and potassium chloride.

2KClO3 (s) → 2KCl (s) + 3O2 (g)

The evolved oxygen is collected over water. The relevant data from the experiment is summarized below.

Initial volume reading 31.0 mL
Final volume reading 58.2 mL
Temperature 23.0°C
Total pressure 765 mm Hg

 

A table of vapor pressures of water is also available:

Temperature (°C) Vapor Pressure of Water (mm Hg)
21 18.7
22 19.8
23 21.1
24 22.4
25 23.8

 

What is the volume (in mL) of O2 gas formed in the experiment?

What is the volume (in L) of O2 gas formed in the experiment?

What is the vapor pressure of water (in mm Hg) at the experiment temperature?

What is the dry pressure (in mm Hg) of O2 gas in the experiment?

What is the dry pressure (in atm) of O2 gas in the experiment?

What is the temperature (in K) for the experiment?

Using the ideal gas law with a value of 0.0821 L•atm/mol•K for R, how many moles of dry O2 gas were evolved in this experiment?
