Answer #1

2 KClO3 ----------------------> 2 KCl + 3O2

245 g                                                    96 g

26.3 g                                                     ???

245 g KClO3 ---------------------> 96 g O2

26.3 g KClO3 -----------------------> x g O2

x = 26.3 x 96 / 245

x = 10.3 g

mass of O2 produced = 10.3 g
