Answer:
A) Mass = 32 g of KCl
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of potassium chloride produced = ?
Mass of potassium chlorate = 52 g
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂
Number of moles of KClO₃:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 52 g/ 122.55 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.424 mol
Now we will compare the moles of KClO₃ and KCl
KClO₃ : KCl
2 : 2
0.424 : 0.424
Mass of KCl:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.424 mol × 74.55 g/mol
Mass = 32 g
