N = given mass/ molar mass.
n = number of moles
given mass = 2.47 g
molar mass = 197 g/mol
n = 2.47 / 197
n = 0.01253 moles.
I'm sure you wanted to ask more than this. Just put some comments in. I can do the same.
<span>Answer:
K because it is metal and typically forms ionic bonds. Ar is also unlikely to form any bonds because it has a full outer shell of electrons, but it can form covalent bonds.</span>
Explanation:
In order to be able to calculate the volume of oxygen gas produced by this reaction, you need to know the conditions for pressure and temperature.
Since no mention of those conditions was made, I'll assume that the reaction takes place at STP, Standard Temperature and Pressure.
STP conditions are defined as a pressure of
100 kPa
and a temperature of
0
∘
C
. Under these conditions for pressure and temperature, one mole of any ideal gas occupies
22.7 L
- this is known as the molar volume of a gas at STP.
So, in order to find the volume of oxygen gas at STP, you need to know how many moles of oxygen are produced by this reaction.
The balanced chemical equation for this decomposition reaction looks like this

Notice that you have a

:

mole ratio between potassium chlorate and oxygen gas.
This tells you that the reaction will always produce
3
2
times more moles of oxygen gas than the number of moles of potassium chlorate that underwent decomposition.
Use potassium chlorate's molar mass to determine how many moles you have in that

I just took a test with this question and got the answer wrong for saying ethane. The correct answer is propane.
