    3.38 grams of O2 will be produced

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Data given

    Mass of NaClO3 = 7.50 grams

    Mass of NaCl = 4.12 grams

    Molar mass of NaClO3 = 106.44 g/mol

    Molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

    Step 2: The balanced equation

    2NaClO3 (s) → 2NaCl (s) + 3O2 (g)

    Step 3: Calculate moles

    Moles NaClO3 = mass NaClO3 / molar mass NaClO3

    Moles NaClO3 = 7.50 grams / 106.44 g/mol

    Moles NaClO3 = 0.0705 moles

    Moles NaCl = 4.12 grams / 58.44 g/mol

    Moles NaCl = 0.0705 moles

    For 2 moles NaClO3 we'll have 2 moles NaCl and 3 moles O2

    For 0.0705 moles NaClO3 we'll have 0.0705 moles NaCl and 3/2 * 0.0705 = 0.10575 moles O2

    Step 4: Calculate mass O2

    Mass O2 = moles O2 * molar mass O2

    Mass O2 = 0.10575 moles * 32.0 g/mol

    Mass O2 = 3.38 grams O2

    3.38 grams of O2 will be produced
