How many moles of potassium chloride and oxygen can be produced from 100.0g of potassium chlorate? the balanced equation is: 2 kclo3=2kcl+3o2

Answer : The moles of potassium chloride and oxygen produced can be 0.813 and 2.44 respectively.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of = 100.0 g

Molar mass of = 123 g/mole

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

First we have to calculate the moles of .

Now we have to calculate the moles of and .

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

As, 2 mole of react to give 2 mole of

So, 0.813 mole of react to give 0.813 mole of

and,

As, 2 mole of react to give 3 mole of

So, 0.813 mole of react to give 3 × 0.813 = 2.44 mole of

Therefore, the moles of potassium chloride and oxygen produced can be 0.813 and 2.44 respectively.
