Answer:
18 moles of O2 can be produced by letting 12.00 moles of KClO3 react
Explanation:
The balanced equation is
2KCIO3 —> 2 KCl + 3 O2
As per the reaction,
2 mole of KClO3 produces 3 mole of O2 gas
Hence, 12 moles of KClO3 will produce [tex]12*\frac{3}{2} =18[/tex]
Hence, 18 moles of O2 can be produced by letting 12.00 moles of KClO3 react
