Question

☆Only need information for problem 3 but you need to know the information from problem 2 to get answer 3☆

Answer 1

Answer:

2. The balanced equation is given below

2KClO₃ —> 2KCl + 3O₂

18 moles of oxygen, O₂ were obtained.

3. 21 moles of oxygen, O₂.

Explanation:

2. Determination of the number of mole of oxygen produced.

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 oxygen, O₂ produced by the reaction of 12 moles of potassium chlorate, KClO₃. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

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

Therefore, 12 moles of KClO₃ will decompose to produce = (12 × 3)/2 = 18 moles of O₂.

Thus, 18 moles of oxygen, O₂ were obtained from the reaction

3. Determination of the number of mole of oxygen, O₂ produced by the reaction of 14 moles of KClO₃.

From the balanced equation above,

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

Therefore, 14 moles of KClO₃ will decompose to produce = (14 × 3)/2 = 21 moles of O₂.

Thus, 21 moles of oxygen, O₂ were obtained from the reaction
