Answer 1

Answer:

7.5 moles of O₂.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

2KClO₃ —> 2KCl + 3O₂

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of KClO₃ decomposed to produce 3 moles of O₂.

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of O₂ produced by the decomposition of 5 moles of KClO₃. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of KClO₃ decomposed to produce 3 moles of O₂.

Therefore, 5 moles of KClO₃ will decompose to produce = (5 × 3)/ 2 = 7.5 moles of O₂.

Thus, 7.5 moles of O₂ were obtained from the reaction.
