Decomposition of potassium chlorate (kclo3) produces potassium chloride (kcl) and pure oxygen (o2). the balanced equation for the reaction is as follows.

what volume of oxygen gas is released at stp if 10.0 g of potassium chlorate is decomposed? (the molar mass of kclo3 is 122.55 g/mol.)
0.914 l
1.83 l
2.74 l
3.66 l

1.    The balanced reaction would be:

2KClO3 --> 2KCl + 3O2

We are given the amount of potassium chlorate for the reaction. This will be the starting point of our calculation. 

10.0 g KClO3 ( 1 mol KClO3 / 122.55 g KClO3) (3 mol O2 / 2 mol KClO3) = 0.1224 mol O2

V = nRT/P =0.1224 mol O2 x 273 K x 0.08206 atm L/mol K / 1 atm
V=2.74 L
