How many grams of oxygen gas will be produced when 2.50 moles of potassium chlorate is decomposed?

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the decomposition of potassium chlorate is:

We can see a 2:3 mole ratio between potassium chlorate and oxygen (molar mass 32.0 g/mol), thus, via stoichiometry, we compute the mass of oxygen that are produced by the decomposition of 2.50 moles of this reactant:

Best regards!

so here we go

atomic mass

239 + 1 = y + 134 + 3 combine like terms

240 = y + 137             subtract 137 from both terms

240 - 137 = y

103 = y

atomic number

94 = z +54 + 0

94 = z + 54               subtract 54 from both sides.

40 = z
