Small quantities of oxygen can be prepared in the laboratory by heating potassium chlorate, KClO3 ( is ) . The equation for the reaction is 2 KClO3 ⟶ 2 KCl + 3 O 2 Calculate how many grams of O 2 ( g ) can be produced from heating 66.1 g KClO 3 ( s ) .

25.89g of O2 (g)

Explanation:

We begin by finding the molar mass of compounds of interest in the given equation. 2 KClO3 ⟶ 2 KCl + 3 O 2

1  mole of KCLO3 = 39 .10 + 35.5 + (3x16) = 122.55g, 2Moles would be 2 x 122.5 = 245.1g

1 mole Oxygen gas = 32g, 3 moles would be, 3 x 32= 96g

According to the equation;

245.1g of KCLO3 produces 96g of O2 (g)

If 1g of KCLO3  produces  96÷245.1  of O2 (g)  from heating.

66.1g of KCLO3 would produce; 96÷245.1  x 66.1 = 25.89g of O2 (g) from heating.

b. accuracy of the data matters alot more than its number of digits, organization or amount of detail. quantitative observation is more accepted than the qualitative observation.
