Answer:

154.61 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

he balanced chemical equation for the reaction of KCIO3 to form KCl and O2 is:

2KCIO3 -> 2KCl + 3O2

From this equation, we can see that for every 1 mole of KCIO3, 2 moles of KCl and 3 moles of O2 are produced.

First, we need to calculate the number of moles of KCIO3:

n = mass / molar mass

= 125g / (138.2 g/mol)

= 0.902 moles

Now that we have the number of moles of KCIO3, we can calculate the masses of the products:

Mass of KCl = 0.902 moles * (74.55 g/mol) = 67.53 g

Mass of O2 = 0.902 moles * (32.00 g/mol) * 3 = 87.08 g

So the total mass of the products will be:

67.53 g + 87.08 g = 154.61 g.
