The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The reaction is $2 NaClO _{3} \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} 2 NaCl +3 O _{2}$
$3\, mol$ of $O _{2}=2\, mol$ of $NaCl =2\, mol$ of $AgCl$
Number of moles of $O _{2}=\frac{0.16}{32}=0.005 mol$
$0.005\, mol$ of $O _{2}=0.005 \times \frac{2}{3}=0.0033\, mol$ of $AgCl$
The mass of $AgCl$ obtained will $be =143.5 \times 0.0033=0.48\, g$
$3\, mol$ of $O _{2}=2\, mol$ of $NaCl =2\, mol$ of $AgCl$
Number of moles of $O _{2}=\frac{0.16}{32}=0.005 mol$
$0.005\, mol$ of $O _{2}=0.005 \times \frac{2}{3}=0.0033\, mol$ of $AgCl$
The mass of $AgCl$ obtained will $be =143.5 \times 0.0033=0.48\, g$

Classification of Matter
There are two ways of classifying the matter:
(A) Physical Classification:
Matter can exist in three physical states:
- Solids - have definite volume and definite shape
- Liquids - have definite volume but not definite shape.
- Gases - have neither definite volume nor definite shape.
(B) Chemical Classification:
Based upon the composition, matter can be divided into two main types:
- Pure Substances are defined as a single substance (or matter) which cannot be separated by simple physical methods. Pure substances can be further classified as (i) Elements (ii) Compounds
- Mixtures are the combination of two or more elements or compounds which are not chemically combined together and may also be present in any proportion.
