Expert Solution
Balancing the decomposition reaction of KClO3:
Potassium chlorate decomposes to give potassium chloride and oxygen gas:
2 KClO3
Note: The unit gram mole means molar mass of molecule/atom/ions etc in grams.
1 gram mole = mass of one mole of molecule in grams.
Calculating the mole ratio of KClO3 and KCl
Since, 2 mol of KClO3 gives 2 mol of KCl,
hence, mole ratio of KClO3 : KCl = 2 : 1
Calculating the mole ratio of KClO3 to O2 gas:
Since, 2 mol of KClO3 gives 3 mol of O2 ,
hence, mole ratio of KClO3 : O2 = 2 : 3
