Potassium chlorate, KCIO3, decomposes upon slight heating in the presence of a catalyst according to the reaction below: 2KCIO3 (s) -> 2KCI (s) + 30,(g) Ina certain experiment, 40.0 g KCIO, is heated until it completely decomposes. The experiment is performed and the oxygen gas is collected and its mass is found to be 15.1g. What is the percent yield?
