Question
Ideal gas laws. Ignore the answer I have down it is far from anything. Best I could think of was extracting the oxygen with stoich and putting it into the ideal gas law.
**Generation of Oxygen Gas from KClO₃**

Oxygen gas can be generated by heating potassium chlorate (KClO₃) in the presence of manganese dioxide (MnO₂), as demonstrated by the following chemical equation:

\[2 \text{KClO}_3 \rightarrow 2 \text{KCl} + 3 \text{O}_2\]

In this reaction, potassium chlorate decomposes to form potassium chloride (KCl) and oxygen gas (\(O_2\)).

**Problem Statement**

Consider a mixture containing 1.83 g of KClO₃ and 0.30 g of MnO₂. If all the KClO₃ is decomposed, how many liters of \(O_2\) gas will be generated at a temperature (\(T\)) of 23.0°C and a pressure (\(P\)) of 751.8 torr?

**Answer Submission**

An answer of 2.54 liters was submitted but found to be incorrect. There have been 5 attempts out of the allowed 99 tries.

For further attempts and calculations, consider the ideal gas law and stoichiometry principles to determine the correct volume of \(O_2\) generated under the given conditions.
