Answer: approximately 15.1 grams.
Explanation: The key to chemistry is to change everything to moles. Then when you have the answer in moles change the answer back to grams, liters, or whatever you want. Change 25 grams of potassium chlorate to moles. Chlorate is Cl with 3 oxygens. ate = saturated. Chlorine has seven valance electrons when it is saturated six of these electrons are used by oxygen ( 2 electrons per oxygen) leaving only 1 electron. 1 K x 39 grams/mole+1 Cl x 35.4grams/ mole+3 O x 16 grams/ mole = 122.4 grams / mole Potassium Chlorate 25 122.4 = moles. 2.05 moles of Potassium Chlorate. There is a 1:1 mole ratio. 1 mole of Potassium Chlorate will produce 1 mole of Potassium Chloride. 2.05 moles of Potassium Chlorate will produce 2.05 moles of Potassium Chloride. Find the gram molecular mass of Potassium Chloride. 1 K x 39 = 39+1 Cl x 35.4 = 35.4 = 74.4 grams / mole. 2.05 moles x 74.4 grams/ mole = 15.2 grams
The mass of O₂ that will be form is 9.8 grams
The chemical reaction is as follows:
2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂
From the reaction 2 moles of potassium trichlorate decompose to form 2 moles of potassium chloride and 3 moles of oxygen.
Therefore,
molar mass of KClO₃ = 39 + 35.5 + 48 = 122.5 grams
molar mass of O₂ = 32 grams
Therefore,
2(122.5) g of KClO₃ produces 3(32) grams of O₂
25 g of KClO₃ will produce ? grams of O₂
cross multiply
mass of O₂ produced = 96 × 25 / 245
mass of O₂ produced = 2400 / 245
mass of O₂ produced = 9.7959
mass of O₂ produced ≈ 9.8 grams
