Question

4KclO3➡️3kclO4+KCIHow many moles of potassium prochlorate are produced from 26 grams of patassium clorate ?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.16 moles of KClO4 are produced.

Explanation:

1st) According to the balanced reaction 4 moles of KClO3 produces 3 moles of KClO4.

With the KClO3 molar mass (122.55g/mol) we can convert the 4 moles into grams:

$4moles*\frac{122.55g}{1mole}=490.2g$

2nd) Finally, we can calculate the moles of KClO4 that will be produced from 26 grams of KClO3:

$\begin{gathered} 490.2gKClO_3-3molesKClO_4 \\ 26gKClO_3-x=\frac{26gKClO_3*3molesKClO_4}{490.2gKClO_3} \\ x=0.16molesKClO_4 \end{gathered}$

So, 0.16 moles of KClO4 are produced.
