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
2
:
3
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

“Gibbous” means<br> "humpbacked.” Why is this term<br> appropriate for a moon phase?
vlada-n [284]
Gibbous refers to the moon when it is more than half full but not completely full. This results in half a circle with a smaller arc on the opposite side. This makes a weird shaped “hump” on that side which is what the humpback means.
