Solid potassium chlorate decomposes to produce solid
potassium chloride and oxygen gas according to the balanced
equation: 2 KCIO
2 KCl + 3 O
What volume of oxygen gas, measured at 40.0°C and 85.4 kPa,
will be produced when 13.5 g of potassium chlorate is
decomposed?

How is electrolysis most commonly used to produce an energy source? a - splitting water molecules produces oxygen, which organisms breathe to fuel their bodies. b - splitting water molecules produces hydrogen gas, which is used to power machines through hydrogen fuel cells. c - splitting carbon dioxide molecules produces coal, a form of carbon that can be burned to produce heat. d - splitting carbon dioxide molecules produces natural gas, which can be burned to generate electricity in power plants.
