Question

How much reactant (KClO3) is required to produce 3.5 mil of O2

Answer 1

Answer:

$2.3molKClO_3$

$285.95gKClO_3$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the balanced chemical equation:

$2KClO_3\rightarrow 2KCl+3O_2$

We can observe the 2:3 mole ratio in order to calculate the moles of KClO3 required for such production:

$3.5molO_2*\frac{2molKClO_3}{3molO_2} \\\\2.3molKClO_3$

And in grams:

$2.3molKClO_3*\frac{122.55gKClO_3}{1molKClO_3} \\\\=285.95gKClO_3$
