The formula for potassium chlorate is:    2KClO₃   →   2KCl   +   3O₂

If moles =  mass ÷ molar mass  

then moles of KClO₃   =  25 g  ÷  [( 39 × 1 ) + ( 35.5 × 1) + ( 16 × 3)] g/mol
                     
                                   = 25 g  ÷  ( 122.5 g ) g/mol

                                   =  0.2041 mol


Now the mole ratio of   KClO₃    :   O₂     is    2   :   3

∴  if moles of KClO₃   =  0.2041 mol

  then moles of O₂     =  ( 0.2041 mol ÷ 2 ) × 3
          
                                  = 0.3061 mol


Now since mass = moles × molar mass

∴ the mass of oxygen produced  =  0.3061 mol  × ( 16 × 2) g/mol
                                                    =  9.796 g


∴ the grams of oxygen gas produced when 25 grams of potassium chlorate is decomposed is ~ 9.80 g.

A molecular covalent substance (such as co2) has a low melting point because the covalent bonds that hold the molecules together
Leona [35]

A molecular covalent substance (such as co2) has a low melting point because the covalent bonds that hold the molecules together are weak and do not require much energy to break:- False.

What are covalent bonds ?

An electron transfer that leads to the formation of electron pairs between atoms is known as a covalent bond. When atoms share electrons, a stable balance of the repulsive and attractive forces among them is known as covalent bonding. These electron pairs are also known as bonds or shared pairs.

It is a molecular compound, which is a mixture of at least two atoms—the smallest building blocks of matter—joined by a covalent bond. These atoms are joined by a covalent bond, which is formed when electrons are shared.
