In balancing half-reactions, it is important to know if the medium is basic or acidic. For basic medium, what is added to the reactant side is the hyroxide ion OH- and what is added to the other side is H2O. The answer is the fifth option.
3.2 g KClO3
Explanation:
1.1 g C12H22O11 × (1 mol C12H22O11/342.3 g C12H22O11)
= 0.0032 mol C12H22O11
0.0032 mol C12H22O11 × (8 mol KClO3/1 mol C12H22O11)
= 0.026 mol KClO3
Therefore, the minimum amount of KClO3 needed is
0.026 mol KClO3 × (122.55 g KClO3/1 mol KClO3)
= 3.2 g KClO3
