Total Volume of Gas Collected
Potassium chlorate, KClO3, decomposes when heated: KClO3 (s) ® KCl (s) + 3/2 O2 (g) 1.00 gram of potassium chlorate is completely decomposed and the oxygen is collected over water at 25°C and 0.99 atm. Calculate the total volume of gas collected. (The vapor pressure of water at 25°C is 23.8 torr).
