Silver oxide (Ag2O) decomposes at temperature 300°C yielding metallic silver and oxygen gas. A 1.60 g sample of impure silver oxide yields 0.104 g of oxygen gas. What is the percent by mass of the silver oxide in the sample?

(a) 5.9

(b) 47.125

(c) 94.25

(d) 88.2

Answer is : (c) 94.25

Explanation:

Let mass of Ag2O = x g

Ag2O → 2Ag + \frac{1}{2}O2

xg

232g    \frac{1}{2} x 32 = 16g O2

\frac{16}{232}\times x = 0.104

x = 1.508g

% of Ag2O = \frac{1.508}{1.6}x 100

= 94.25%
