The element Sodium will
form a +1 cation, while the bromine a -1 anion. Since the anion bromine is
always a liquid, therefore its symbol is Br2(l). So, the chemical equation for
their reaction is: <span>
<span>2Na(s) + Br2(l) -> 2NaBr(aq) </span></span>
The balanced reaction is 2KClO3 --> 2KCl + 3O2
We first divide the 400.0 g KClO3 by the molar mass of 122.55 g/mol to get 3.26 mol KClO3. Next, we use the coefficients: 3.26 mol KClO3 * (3 mol O2 / 2 mol KClO3) = 4.896 mol O2. Multiplying this by the molar mass of 32 g/mol gives 156.67 g O2.
Percent yield = 115.0 g / 156.67 g = 0.734 = 73.40%
