    4.5moles

    Explanation:

    First, let us balance the equation given from the question. This is illustrated below:

    KClO3 - > KCl + O2

    There are 2 atoms of O on the right side and 3 atoms on the left. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of KClO3 and 3 in of O2 as shown below

    2KClO3 - > KCl + 3O2

    Now, we have 2 atoms each of K and Cl on the left side and 1atom each of K and Cl on the right. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of KCl as shown below:

    2KClO3 - > 2KCl + 3O2

    Now the equation is balanced.

    From the balanced equation,

    2 moles of KClO3 produced 3 moles of O2.

    Therefore, 3 moles of KClO3 will produce = (3 x 3) / 2 = 4.5moles of O2.

    Therefore 3 moles of KClO3 will produce 4.5 moles of O2
