Oxygen is prepared by catalytic decomposition of potassium chlorate `(KClO_(3))`. Decomposition of potassium chlorate gives potassium chloride (KCl) and oxygen `(O_(2))`. The following reaction takes place : `2KClO_(3(s))to2KCl_((s))+3O_(2(g))`.
Mark the correct statement.

2 moles of `KClO_(3)` give 3 moles of oxygen.

1 mole of `KCIO_(3)` gives 1 mole of oxygen.

3 moles of oxygen are formed by 1 mole of `KCIO_(3)`.

200 g of `KCIO_(3)` gives 300 g of `O_(2)`.

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

The reaction shows 2 moles of `KClO_(3)` = 3 moles of `O_(2)`.
