# Question Ans
1.

What volume of oxygen is produced from the decomposition of 2 mole of KCIO3 at s.t.p?
[Molar volume of a gas at s.t.p = 22.4 dm3]

A. 22.4 dm3

B. 33.6 dm3

C. 44.8 dm3

D. 67.2 dm3

Detailed Solution

2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2
3 moles of oxygen is produced
1 moles of oxygen is 22.4 dm3
3 moles of oxygen is 67.2 dm3
2.

Which of the following is physical change?

A. Burning kerosene

B. Freezing ice cream

C. Exposing white phosphorus

D. Dissolving calcium in water

B

3.

What is the percentage by mass of oxygen in Al2(SO4)3. 2H2O?
[Al = 27, S = 32, H = 1, O = 16]

A. 14.29%

B. 25.39%

C. 50.79%

D. 59.25%

Detailed Solution

Al2(SO4)3. 2H2O
2 * 27 + 3*32 + 14 * 16 + 4 * 1 =
54 + 96 + 224 + 4 = 378
% O2 = (224/378) * (100/1) = 59.25%
