Explanation:
I can't guess it properly
The grams of potassium chlorate that are required to produce 160 g of oxygen is 408.29 grams
<u><em>calculation</em></u>
2 KClO₃→ 2 KCl + 3O₂
Step 1: find the moles of O₂
moles = mass÷ molar mass
from periodic table the molar mass of O₂ = 16 x2 = 32 g/mol
moles = 160 g÷ 32 g/mol = 5 moles
Step2 : use the mole ratio to determine the moles of KClO₃
from equation given KClO₃ : O₂ is 2:3
therefore the v moles of KClO₃ = 5 moles x 2/3 = 3.333 moles
Step 3: find the mass of KClO₃
mass= moles x molar mass
from periodic table the molar mass of KClO₃
= 39 + 35.5 + (16 x3) =122.5 g/mol
mass = 3.333 moles x 122.5 g/mol =408.29 grams
The answer you need is B. Pollution. Have in mind that Caves contain carvings and depictions that are formed from acids running through the limestones of the cave. The sulfuric acid that helped form the Lechugilla caves come from pollution.I hope this info can help you
