Answer:
The complete decomposition will produce 88.4 g of O₂
Explanation:
The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:
2KClO₃ (s) → 2KCl (s) + 3O₂ (g)
So 2 moles of salt, produce 3 moles of gas.
How many moles of chlorate are 22537 g?
Mass / Molar mass = 225.7 g / 122.55 g/m = 1.84 moles
This will be a rule of three:
2 moles of salt produce 3 moles of gas
1.84 moles of salt produce ( 1.84 .3)/2 = 2.76 moles
Moles . molar mass = mass
(To find out the masss of compound produced)
2.76 m . 31.998 g/m = 88.4 grams
