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.

In a food chain, energy is passed through one link to another. When a herbivore eats only a certain fraction of the energy, (which comes from the food) it becomes new body mass; the rest of the energy is lost as waste or used up by the herbivore in order to carry out its life processes (ex. movement, digestion, reproduction). It doesn’t necessarily threaten the plants survival, there’s also a benefit. When a animals poops out the fruit (defecate) in another area those seeds get carried to new places with the help of a dab of fertilizer and a little bit of moisture. They also help supply nutrients when they die and decompose.
