What mass of potassium chloride, KCl, is produced when 12.6 g of oxygen, 02, is produced?

Sagot :

Mass of KCl= 19.57 g

Further explanation

Given

12.6 g of Oxygen

Required

mass of KCl

Solution

Reaction

2KClO3 ⇒ 2KCl + 3O2

mol O2 :

= mass : MW

= 12.6 : 32 g/mol

= 0.39375

From the equation, mol KCl :

= 2/3 x mol O2

= 2/3 x 0.39375

=0.2625

Mass KCl :

= mol x MW

= 0.2625 x 74,5513 g/mol

= 19.57 g
