Lookup the atomic weights of the involved elements
Atomic weight potassium = 39.0983
Atomic weight Chlorine = 35.453
Atomic weight Oxygen = 15.999
Molar mass KClO3 = 39.0983 + 35.453 + 3 * 15.999 = 122.5483 g/mol
Moles KClO3 = 87.4 g / 122.5483 g/mol = 0.713188188 mol
The balanced equation for heating KClO3 is
2 KClO3 = 2 KCl + 3 O2
So 2 moles of KClO3 will break down into 3 moles of oxygen molecules.
0.713188188 mol / 2 * 3 = 1.069782282 mols
So we're going to get 1.069782282 moles of oxygen molecules. Since each molecule has 2 atoms, the mass will be
1.069782282 * 2 * 15.999 = 34.23089345 grams
Rounding the results to 3 significant figures gives 34.2 grams</span>
When you walk your dog, you are using energy from the sunlight to power the activity. Explain. The energy you use is transferred from glucose, which got it directly from sunlight.
