Answer:

B. 0.35mol KClO3

Step-by-step explanation:

The balanced equation in this question is given as follows:

2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2

Based on the chemical reaction;

2 moles of KClO3 decomposes into 3 moles of O2

If 0.525 moles of O2 are produced, then:

= 0.525 × 2/3

= 1.05/3

= 0.35mol of KClO3 is decomposed.
