Explanation:
In order to be able to calculate the volume of oxygen gas produced by this reaction, you need to know the conditions for pressure and temperature.
Since no mention of those conditions was made, I'll assume that the reaction takes place at STP, Standard Temperature and Pressure.
STP conditions are defined as a pressure of
100 kPa
and a temperature of
0
∘
C
. Under these conditions for pressure and temperature, one mole of any ideal gas occupies
22.7 L
- this is known as the molar volume of a gas at STP.
So, in order to find the volume of oxygen gas at STP, you need to know how many moles of oxygen are produced by this reaction.
The balanced chemical equation for this decomposition reaction looks like this

Notice that you have a

:

mole ratio between potassium chlorate and oxygen gas.
This tells you that the reaction will always produce
3
2
times more moles of oxygen gas than the number of moles of potassium chlorate that underwent decomposition.
Use potassium chlorate's molar mass to determine how many moles you have in that

How many half-lives have passed when there are 3 times as much daughter isotope as parent isotope?
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

2 half lives.

Explanation:

Suppose there are 100g of parent isotope at the start.

After 1 half-life  there will be 50g of parent and 50g of daughter isotope.

After another half life there is  25 g of parent and 75g of daughter isotope.

State the number of sig figs in each value:
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Significant figure implies number of digits that are to be considered. Some rules are required to be considered when writing a given expression to an expected significant figures.

So that:

1) 0.00004050 is 4 significant figures

2) 54.7000 is 6 significant figures

3) 1,000.09 is 6 significant figures

4) 0.039 is 2 significant figures

A container holds 35.8 moles of gas under 10.0 atm of pressure at 70.0 C. What is the volume of the container? 20.6 L 101 L 2080
Pavlova-9 [17]

PV = n RT
P: pressure =10atm
V volume
n number of mole = 35.8 moles
R universal gas constant = 0.082
T: The temperature= 70°C= 343.15 Kelvin

 
V= (n RT) / P = 35.8 x 0.082 x 343.15   / 10 = 100.7 ≈ 101 L

 V = 101L
