  • B 0.410.41
  • C 0.480.48
  • D 0.540.54

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

NaClO3 ⟶Δ 2NaCl + 3O2

Here O2 produced = 0.16 g

∴    \therefore\,\,\,\, No of moles of O2 = 0.1632{{0.16} \over {32}} = 5 ×\times 10 −- 3

Let no of moles of NaCl

∴    \therefore\,\,\,\, nNaCl2{{{}^nNaCl} \over 2} = nO23{{^n{O_2}} \over 3}

⇒\Rightarrow     \,\,\,\, nNaCl^nNaCl = 23{2 \over 3} ×\times 5 ×\times 10 −- 3 = 1300{1 \over {300}}

NaCl + Ag+ →\to AgCl + Na+

From here, you can see

no of moles in NaCl = no of moles in AgCl

∴    \therefore\,\,\,\, no of moles in AgCl = 1300{1 \over {300}}

∴    \therefore\,\,\,\, Mass of AgCl = 143.5 ×\times 1300{1 \over {300}} = 0.48 g
