First, balance the reaction:
_ KClO₃ ==> _ KCl + _ O₂
As is, there are 3 O's on the left and 2 O's on the right, so there needs to be a 2:3 ratio of KClO₃ to O₂. Then there are 2 K's and 2 Cl's among the reactants, so we have a 1:1 ratio of KClO₃ to KCl :
2 KClO₃ ==> 2 KCl + 3 O₂
Since we start with a known quantity of O₂, let's divide each coefficient by 3.
2/3 KClO₃ ==> 2/3 KCl + O₂
Next, look up the molar masses of each element involved:
• K: 39.0983 g/mol
• Cl: 35.453 g/mol
• O: 15.999 g/mol
Convert 10 g of O₂ to moles:
(10 g) / (31.998 g/mol) ≈ 0.31252 mol
The balanced reaction shows that we need 2/3 mol KClO₃ for every mole of O₂. So to produce 10 g of O₂, we need
(2/3 (mol KClO₃)/(mol O₂)) × (0.31252 mol O₂) ≈ 0.20835 mol KClO₃
KClO₃ has a total molar mass of about 122.549 g/mol. Then the reaction requires a mass of
(0.20835 mol) × (122.549 g/mol) ≈ 25.532 g
of KClO₃.
All matter is composed of atoms, indestructible building blocks.

A student measures the mass <em><u>8cm3</u></em> block of brown sugar to be 12.9g. what is the density of the brown sugar
Answer:
Explanation:
Density is defined as mass per unit volume of an object expressed as 
where 
is the density, m is the mass of sugar and v is the volume of the sugar. Considering that the volume is given as 8cm3 for sugar then we substitute this for v and mass of 12.9 g we substitute for g then the density will be
Answer: Igneous it forms because of magma but magma is under the earths surface so its Igneous
Explanation:
Answer : The time passed in years is 20.7 years.
Explanation :
Half-life = 28.1 years
First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :
Now we have to calculate the time passed.
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant = 
t = time passed by the sample = ?
a = initial amount of the reactant = 1.00 g
a - x = amount left after decay process = 0.600 g
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get
Therefore, the time passed in years is 20.7 years.
