2KCIO3 -> 2KCI+ 302 How many moles of oxygen are produced by
the decomposition of 6.0 moles of potassium
chlorate, KCIO3?

9 moles

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for this decomposition reaction is as follows:

2KCIO3 → 2KCI+ 302

Based on this equation, 2 moles of potassium chlorate (KCIO3) decomposes to form 3 moles of oxygen gas (O2).

Hence, 6 moles of pottasium chlorate will decompose to produce;

6 × 3 ÷ 2

= 18 ÷ 2

= 9 moles of O2.

answer: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

explanation: chemical change is the change in which chemical composition of the substance changes. physical change is the change in which there is no change in chemical composition.

chemical changes are accompanied by following changes:

a) precipitate formation

b) energy is released or absorbed

c) formation of bubbles

d) change in color

as it is given that the red color has disappeared and there is production of gas, it means the red substance has undergone a chemical change.
