Your answer would be 0.00285 moles.
A chemical equation does not give information about the following:
- It usually does not give the "state of the substances". There are three states: Solid(s), liquid(q) and gas(vap).
- The chemical equation does not show whether it is complete or incomplete.
- The "speed of the reaction" is not mentioned.
- The "concentration of the substance" whether it is diluted or concentrated is not mentioned.
- The "rate of the reaction", temperature, catalyst, pressure etc is not mentioned. These can be mentioned "above or below the arrow".
What you have to do is balance the chemical equations to make sure everything is even on both sides. If you want me to help you answer the questions comment back
Answer:
7.5 moles of O₂.
Explanation:
We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:
2KClO₃ —> 2KCl + 3O₂
From the balanced equation above,
2 moles of KClO₃ decomposed to produce 3 moles of O₂.
Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of O₂ produced by the decomposition of 5 moles of KClO₃. This can be obtained as follow:
From the balanced equation above,
2 moles of KClO₃ decomposed to produce 3 moles of O₂.
Therefore, 5 moles of KClO₃ will decompose to produce = (5 × 3)/ 2 = 7.5 moles of O₂.
Thus, 7.5 moles of O₂ were obtained from the reaction.
