Solution
1) Mass of empty crucible and lid =29.917 gm
2) Mass of empty crucible,lid and potassium chloride before heating =31.917 gm
3) Mass of potassium chloride in crucible =2.00 gm
4) Mass of empty crucible,lid and potassium chloride after heating =31.806 gm
5) Mass of product in crucible = (Mass of empty crucible,lid and potassium chloride after heating ) – (Mass of empty crucible and lid )
Mass of product in crucible = 31.806 - 29.917 =1.889 gm
6) Mass of oxygen = (Mass of empty crucible,lid and potassium chloride before heating ) –( Mass of empty crucible,lid and potassium chloride after heating )
Mass of oxygen = 31.917 - 31.806 =0.111 gm
Mass of oxygen =0.111 gm
7) % mass of oxygen in potassium chloride sample = (mass of oxygen ) / (mass of potassium chloride ) x 100
% mass of oxygen in potassium chloride sample = 0.111 / 2.00 x 100 = 5.55 %
% mass of oxygen in potassium chloride sample = 5.55 %
