Reaction amounts

Substance - Amount (reacted or formed)

KClO3- - 10.0 g

KCl - 7.5 g

Al - 9.0 g

Reaction 1 ___KClO3 (s) → ___KCl (s) + ___O2 (g)

Reaction 2 ___Al (s) + ___O2 (g) → ___Al2O3 (s)

The decomposition of potassium chlorate in reaction 1 provides the necessary oxygen for reaction 2 to take place.

Determine the coefficients that will balance reactions 1 & 2. Also, find the mass of Al2O3 that will form given the amounts in the table.

A) Reaction 1: 2, 2, and 3

Reaction 2: 2, 3, and 2

7.5 grams Al2O3

B) Reaction 1: 1, 1, and 2

Reaction 2: 2, 3, and 2

9.5 grams Al2O3

C) Reaction 1: 2, 2, and 3

Reaction 2: 4, 3, and 2

11.5 grams Al2O3

D) Reaction 1: 2, 2, and 3

Reaction 2: 2, 2, and 3

16.5 grams Al2O3

    c)

    Reaction 1: 2, 2, and 3

    Reaction 2: 4, 3, and 2

    11.5 grams Al2O3

    According to the law of conservation of matter and/or mass, 2.5 grams of O2 is formed in the first reaction. Using this amount with the given aluminum amount, 11.5 grams of grams Al2O3 will be formed in reaction 2.

    C) Reaction 1: 2, 2, and 3

    Reaction 2: 4, 3, and 2

    11.5 grams Al2O3

    Explanation:

    Reaction 1. __2_KClO3 (s) → __2_KCl (s) + __3_O2 (g)

    Reaction 2. __4_Al (s) + __3_O2 (g) → __2_Al2O3 (s)
