What will be the volume of oxygen gas produced, If the reaction \(2 \mathrm{KClO}_{3(\mathrm{~s})} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{KCl}_{(\mathrm{s})}+3 \mathrm{O}_{2(\mathrm{~g})} \Delta \mathrm{H}^{\circ}=-78 \mathrm{k} \mathrm{J}\) is carried out at S.T.P.?

  1. A 48.0 L
  2. B 44.8 L
  3. C 22.4 L
  4. D 67.2 L
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 67.2 L

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(2 \mathrm{KClO}_{3(s)} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{KCl}_{(s)}+3 \mathrm{O}_{2(g)}\)
At STP, 1 mole of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}=22.4 \mathrm{~L}\)
\(\therefore 3\) mole of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}=22.4 \times 3=67.2 \mathrm{~L}\)
