Keep it simple. If all the oxygen contained in the 200 grams of potassium chlorate is produced in the decomposition, then all we have to do is find out how many grams of oxygen are there in the 200 grams. This we can do by calculating the ratio of oxygen mass to the whole. Using 39.1 for potassium, 35.45 for chlorine and 3 times 16, or 48 for the oxygen, we get a total of 122.55 grams per mole for potassium chlorate, of which 48 grams are oxygen. This ratio is 48/122.55. This ratio times the original 200 grams of the compound, gives us 78.34 grams of oxygen produced.
Tornadoes form when warm humid air collides with cold dry air. The denser the cold air is pushed over warm air, causing an updraft. As soon as it reaches the ground a tornado is formed.
A polar molecule has both a partial positive and a partial negative. Since NaCl (sodium chloride) is made out of Na+ and Cl- ions, the positive and negative parts of the water will pull on these ions individually since positive attracts negative and negative attracts positive. This magnetic force causes the Na+ and the Cl- ions to be pulled apart.
