Expert Solution
Chemical equation

Given chemical equation :

2 KClO (s) ----> 2KCl(s) + 3O2 (g) 

 

According to balanced chemical equation 2 moles of Potassium chlorate is decompose to from 3 moles of Oxygen. 

 

Mole relation  gives relation between number of moles and molar mass

1 mol = molar mass in grams

 

        Atomic mass (g/mol) 

K    = 39

Cl   = 35.5

O    = 16

 

Molar mass of KClO= 1 × atomic mass of K + 1 × atomic mass of Cl + 3 × atomic mass of O

     = 1 × 39 g/mol + 1 × 35.5 g/mol + 3 × 16 g/mol

     = 122.5 g/mol

 

Apply mole relation on KClO3

1 mol KClO3 = 122.5 g 

 

Molar mass of O2 = 2 × atomic mass of O

                               = 2 × 16 g/mol

                              = 32 g/mol

 

Apply mole relation on O2

1 mol O2 = 32 g
