Potassium chlorate, kclo3, decomposes when heated to produce potassium chloride and oxygen gas. if 2.50 grams of kclo3 were heated in a test tube, how many grams of oxygen gas should be given off?

Potassium chlorate has a molas mass of 122.55 g/mol. So, 2.50 g of KClO3 is,
2.5 g / (122.55 g/mol) = 0.0204 moles KClO3

The balanced chemical reaction is this:
2KClO3 > 2KCl + 3O2

So, for every 2 moles of KClO3, 3 moles of O2 forms. Using this ratio,
0.0204 moles KClO3 (3/2) = 0.0306 moles O2.

Converting moles of O2 to grams of O2:
0.0306 moles (16 g/mol) = 0.4896 grams

Therefore, around 0.49 grams of O2 will be formed if 2.50 g of KClO3 decomposed.

Because electrons have negligible mass, to account for the mass of the isotope, there must be 16 neutrons, 16 neutrally charged, massive, fundamental particles present in the sulfur nucleus. and thus finally, if we have the 32s2− ion, there are 18 electrons, 16 protons, and 16 neutrons.
