Common Gases Used in Laboratories Are Generally Obtained from Pressurized \rarr

question 93

Short Answer

Common gases used in laboratories are generally obtained from pressurized metal gas cylinders, but for small amounts of occasionally-used gases, it is sometimes easier just to prepare them chemically.For example, oxygen gas can be prepared by heating KMnO4(s)according to the following chemical reaction:
2KMnO4(s) \rarr K2MnO4(s)+ MnO2(s)+ O2(g)
The above procedure was carried out starting with 93.2 g of KMnO4, and it was later determined that all of the KMnO4 reacted according to the above equation except 11.7 g.What was the percent yield for the reaction?
