Answer:
10.3 g of oxygen are formed when 26.4 g of potassium chlorate is heated
Explanation:
This is the balanced equation:
2KClO₃(s) → 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)
Ratio beteween the salt and oxygen is 2:3
Molar mass of KClO₃ = 122.55 g/m
Let's find out the moles of salt
Mass / Molar mass
26.4 g /122.55 g/m = 0.215 moles
So, this is the final rule of three:
If 2 moles of KClO₃ make 3 moles of oxygen
0.215 moles of KClO₃ make (0.215 .3) /2 = 0.323 moles of O₂ are produced
Molar mass O₂ = 32 g/m
Moles . molar mass = mass
0.323 m . 32g/m = 10.3 g
