### Stoichiometry and Chemical Reactions

**Problem Statement:**

**2.** You start with 2.46 g of KClO<sub>3</sub> and heat it. Use stoichiometry to calculate the mass (g) of KCl produced by the reaction.

---

**Step-by-Step Solution:**

1. **Write the balanced chemical equation for the decomposition of KClO<sub>3</sub>:**

   \[2KClO_3 \rightarrow 2KCl + 3O_2\]

2. **Calculate the molar mass of KClO<sub>3</sub> and KCl:**
   - KClO<sub>3</sub>: \( 39.10 (\text{K}) + 35.45 (\text{Cl}) + 3 \times 16.00 (\text{O}) = 122.55 \, \text{g/mol} \)
   - KCl: \( 39.10 (\text{K}) + 35.45 (\text{Cl}) = 74.55 \, \text{g/mol} \)

3. **Convert grams of KClO<sub>3</sub> to moles:**
   
   Moles of KClO<sub>3</sub>:
   \[
   \frac{2.46 \, \text{g KClO}_3}{122.55 \, \text{g/mol}} = 0.0201 \, \text{mol KClO}_3
   \]

4. **Use the stoichiometric ratios from the balanced equation to find moles of KCl produced:**
   
   According to the balanced equation, \(2 \, \text{mol KClO}_3\) produces \(2 \, \text{mol KCl}\):

   \[
   0.0201 \, \text{mol KClO}_3 \times \frac{2 \, \text{mol KCl}}{2 \, \text{mol KClO}_3} = 0.0201 \, \text{mol KCl}
   \]

5. **Convert moles of KCl to grams:**
   
   \[
   0.0201 \, \text{mol KCl} \times 74.55 \, \text{g
