The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the unbalanced chemical equation The unbalanced reaction is: \[ \text{KClO}_3 \rightarrow \text{KCl} + \text{O}_2 \] ### Step 2: Balance the chemical equation To balance the equation, we need to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation. 1. **Potassium (K)**: There is 1 K on the left (in KClO3) and 1 K on the right (in KCl). So, K is balanced. 2. **Chlorine (Cl)**: There is 1 Cl on the left (in KClO3) and 1 Cl on the right (in KCl). So, Cl is balanced. 3. **Oxygen (O)**: There are 3 O on the left (in KClO3) and 2 O on the right (in O2). To balance the oxygen, we can find a common multiple of 3 and 2, which is 6. - To get 6 O on the left, we need 2 KClO3: \[ 2 \text{KClO}_3 \rightarrow \text{KCl} + \text{O}_2 \] - This gives us 6 O on the left (2 x 3 = 6). - To get 6 O on the right, we need 3 O2: \[ 2 \text{KClO}_3 \rightarrow 2 \text{KCl} + 3 \text{O}_2 \] Now, the balanced equation is: \[ 2 \text{KClO}_3 \rightarrow 2 \text{KCl} + 3 \text{O}_2 \] ### Step 3: Determine the mole ratio From the balanced equation, we see that: - 2 moles of KClO3 produce 3 moles of O2. ### Step 4: Calculate moles of O2 produced from 5 moles of KClO3 Using the mole ratio from the balanced equation: - If 2 moles of KClO3 produce 3 moles of O2, then 1 mole of KClO3 produces \( \frac{3}{2} \) moles of O2. - Therefore, 5 moles of KClO3 will produce: \[ \text{Moles of O}_2 = 5 \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{15}{2} = 7.5 \text{ moles of O}_2 \] ### Final Answer Thus, when 5 moles of KClO3 are heated, 7.5 moles of O2 are produced. ---
