Ans 1
The balanced reaction
2KClO3 (s) = 2KCl (s) + 3O2 (g)
Ans 2
Moles of KClO3 = 5*10^-2 mol
From the stoichiometry of the reaction
2 moles of KClO3 produces = 3 mol O2
5*10^-2 mol of KClO3 produces = 5*10^-2 * 3/2
= 0.075 mol O2
Mass of O2 produced = moles x molecular weight
= 0.075 mol x 32 g/mol
= 2.40 g
Volume of O2 = mass/density
= (2.40 g) / (1.428 g/mL)
= 1.68 mL
Ans 3
Volume of O2 = 42 mL
Mass of O2 = volume x density
= 42 mL x 1.428 g/mL
= 59.976 g
Moles of O2 = mass/molecular weight
= (59.976 g) / (32 g/mol)
= 1.874 mol
From the stoichiometry of the reaction
Moles of KClO3 reacted = 1.874 mol * 2/3
= 1.25 mol
Mass of KClO3 reacted = moles x molecular weight
= 1.25 mol x 122.55 g/mol
= 153.12 g
Ans 4
Mass of KClO3 = 55.2 g
Moles of KClO3 = mass/molecular weight
= (55.2g) / (122.55 g/mol)
= 0.450 mol
Moles of O2 formed = 0.450 mol x 3/2 = 0.676 mol
Mass of O2 formed = moles x molecular weight
= 0.676 mol x 32 g/mol
= 21.62 g
Volume of O2 = mass/density
= ( 21.62 g) / (1.428 g/mL)
= 15.14 mL
