A sample of a mixture of KClO3 and KBr weighing 7.0950 g is heated in thepresence of a small amount of MnO2 which acts as a catalyst of the decompositionreaction 2 KClO3(s) รท 3O2(g) + 2KCl(s) .The O2(g) is collected in a container over water. The total volume and pressure ofthe gas in the container was 865.5 mL and 741.5 mm Hg respectively at 27.2oC.The vapour pressure of water at that temperature is 27.1 mm Hg. Assume that allof the KClO3(s) decomposed. What was the %w/w of KClO3(s) in the originalmixture?
