In chemistry, some reactions are linked to other reactions. For example, in the decomposition of potassium chlorate, oxygen and potassium chloride are produced. Then, the oxygen can react with magnesium and produce magnesium oxide. Using the reactions below, if you start with exactly 6 moles of potassium chlorate, how much magnesium oxide can you produce? 2 KClO3 → 3 O2 + 2 KCl 2 Mg + O2 → 2 MgO

A. 18 moles

B. 5 moles

C. 6 moles

D. 2 moles

C

Explanation:

If 2 moles of potassium chlorate produced 2 moles of MgO, then 2*6/2 moles of MgO are produced when 6 moles of potassium perchlorate is used.
