    Answer: 25.89g of O2 (g)

    Explanation:

    We begin by finding the molar mass of compounds of interest in the given equation. 2 KClO3 ⟶ 2 KCl + 3 O 2

    1 mole of KCLO3 = 39.10 + 35.5 + (3x16) = 122.55g, 2Moles would be 2 x 122.5 = 245.1g

    1 mole Oxygen gas = 32g, 3 moles would be, 3 x 32 = 96g

    According to the equation;

    245.1g of KCLO3 produces 96g of O2 (g)

    If 1g of KCLO3 produces 96:245.1 of O2 (g) from heating.

    66.1g of KCLO3 would produce; 96:245.1 x 66.1 = 25.89g of O2 (g) from heating.
