Answer:

27.98moles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of KClO₃ = 18.65moles

Unknown:

Mass of O₂ = ?

Solution:

The reaction is a decomposition reaction represented with balanced equations as shown below;

2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂

We have to solve from the known to the unknown. The known here is number of moles of KClO₃ .

From the balanced reaction equation; we have;

2 moles of KClO₃ giving 3 moles of O₂

18.65 moles of KClO₃ will produce
(18.65 x 3)/(2) = 27.98moles
