Question

4KclO3➡️3kclO4+KCIHow many moles of potassium prochlorate are produced from 26 grams of patassium clorate ?

Answer 1

0.16 moles of KClO4 are produced.

Step-by-step explanation:

1st) According to the balanced reaction 4 moles of KClO3 produces 3 moles of KClO4.

With the KClO3 molar mass (122.55g/mol) we can convert the 4 moles into grams:

`4moles*(122.55g)/(1mole)=490.2g`

2nd) Finally, we can calculate the moles of KClO4 that will be produced from 26 grams of KClO3:

`\begin{gathered} 490.2gKClO_3-3molesKClO_4 \\ 26gKClO_3-x=(26gKClO_3*3molesKClO_4)/(490.2gKClO_3) \\ x=0.16molesKClO_4 \end{gathered}`

So, 0.16 moles of KClO4 are produced.
