show work. helppp asap

Answer 1

18 moles of O2 can be produced by letting 12.00 moles of KClO3 react

Step-by-step explanation:

The balanced equation is

2KCIO3 ---> 2 KCl + 3 O2

As per the reaction,

2 mole of KClO3 produces 3 mole of O2 gas

Hence, 12 moles of KClO3 will produce
`12*(3)/(2) =18`

Hence, 18 moles of O2 can be produced by letting 12.00 moles of KClO3 react
