Question
You found a container with a white substance labeled MCIO3 but you do not know which Group 1 metal M
represents. You decide to use your chemistry wizardry to identify this mystery substance. You dissolve 5.00 g
in enough water to produce 250. mL of the solution (Solution A). You decompose the chlorate according to
the following reaction:
2MCIO3(aq) → 2MCI (aq) + 3 O₂ (g)
AHrxn=-140.2 kJ
1. You collect the O₂ produced and it has a volume of 1.53 L at a temperature of 25.0 °C and 0.980 atm.
(a) How many moles of O₂ were produced?
(b) How many moles of MCIO3 reacted?
(c) What is the molar mass and the identity of the mystery substance?

Expert Solution

Step 1

The balanced equation is

2 MClO3 (s) ↔ 2 MCl(s) + 3 O2 (g)

Given that

Temperature = 25 °C = 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K

Pressure = 0.980 atm

Volume = 1.53 L

We know that

  PV = nRT

  n = PV/RT = (0.980 atm * 1.53 L)/ (0.0821 L.atm.mol-1.K-1 * 298.15 K)

  n = 0.061255 mol

Number of moles of O2 = 0.0613 mol
