  1. A \(48 \cdot 0 \mathrm{~g}\)
  2. B \(7.45 \mathrm{~g}\)
  3. C \(24 \cdot 0 \mathrm{~g}\)
  4. D \(74.5 \mathrm{~g}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(48 \cdot 0 \mathrm{~g}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(2 \mathrm{KClO}_{3(s)} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{KCl}_{(s)}+3 \mathrm{O}_{2(s)} \)
\( 2 \times 74.5 \mathrm{~g} 3 \times 22.4 \mathrm{~L} \)
\(=149 \mathrm{~g} \quad=67.2 \mathrm{~L}\)
Now, \(67.2 \mathrm{~L}\) of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}=149 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{KCl}\) at \(\mathrm{STP}\)
\(33.6 \mathrm{~L}\) of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}=\mathrm{x} \mathrm{g}\) of \(\mathrm{KCl}\)
\(\therefore x=\frac{149 \times 33.6}{67.2}=74.5 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{KCl}\)
