Answer:
1.21 mol KClO₃
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Atomic Structure</u>
- Reading a Periodic Table
- Moles
- Mole Ratio
<u>Stoichiometry</u>
- Analyzing reactions rxn
- Using Dimensional Analysis
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify variables</em>
[rxn] 2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂
[Given] 58.3 g O₂
[Solve] mol KClO₃
<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>
[rxn] 2 mol KClO₃ → 3 mol O₂
[PT] Molar Mass of O: 16.00 g/mol
Molar Mass of O₂: 2(16.00) = 32.00 g/mol
<u>Step 3: Convert</u>
- [DA] Set up:
- [DA] Divide/Multiply [Cancel out units]:
<u>Step 4: Check</u>
<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>
1.21458 mol KClO₃ ≈ 1.21 mol KClO₃
