On heating, potassium chlorate ( KClO3 ) decomposes to yield potassium chloride and oxygen gas. In one experiment, a student heated 20.4 g of KClO3 until the decomposition was complete. Write a balanced equation for the reaction. Both potassium compounds are in solid state.  Calculate the volume of oxygen (in liters) if it was collected at 0.962 atm and 18.3°C.  Is potassium chloride soluble in water? Just say Yes or No.
