An astronomer would most likely use parallax to

measure the distance to the stars

Explanation:

Parallax is used in astronomy to measure the distance to the stars.

The parallax method uses the change of position of the earth due to its orbit around the sun.

When the earth moves in its orbit, the nearest stars seem to move with respect to the farthest stars, using parallax we can calculate the distance to this stars.

Measurements are made at two different points of the orbit (usually the measurements are separated by six months, so that the earth is in opposite places of its orbit) with respect to the position of the star from which astronomers want to know the distance and the stars farther away. With this data, and the use geometry is possible to calculate the distance to the given star.

explanation:

  the grams     of oxygen gas   that can be produced     is 20.6   grams of o₂

calculation

2liclo₃ →   2 licl + 3 o₂

step 1:   find the moles of liclo₃

moles = mass÷ molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of liclo₃ =6.9 +35.5   +(16 x3) =90.4 g/mol

moles=38.7 g÷90.4 g/mol=0.4281   moles

step 2:   use the   mole ratio   to calculate the moles of o2

from equation above, liclo₃: o₂   is 2: 3  

therefore the moles of   o₂=0.4281 moles x3/2 =0.6422   moles

step 3: find mass   of o₂

mass= moles x molar mass

from periodic table the   molar mass of   o₂ = 16 x2= 32 g/mol

mass=0.6422   moles   x   32 g/mol = 20.6 grams of o₂
