Use the equation: 2 kclo3 2 kcl + 3 o2 to write the mole ratio needed to calculate: (a) moles of kcl produced from 3.5 moles of kclo3 mol kcl mol kclo3 (b) moles of kcl produced when 4.5 moles of o2 are produced. mol kcl mol o2

-

(a) 3.5

(b) 3

Explanation:-

2KClO3 --> 2KCl + 3 O2

From the equation we see that 2 moles of KClO3 gives 2 moles of KCl.

So 3.5 moles of KClO3 will give 3 moles of KCl.

Again

3 moles of O2 are produced with 2 moles of KCl.

If 4.5 moles of O2 produced then

moles of KCl = 4.5 x 2/3
