115.94g of O₂ are produced by 250g of Ca(ClO₃)₂
Explanation:
Ca(ClO₃)₂ –>CaCl₂ + 3O₂
One mole of calcium chlorate give three moles of oxygen.
Molar mass of calcium chlorate is
40+(35.5+16*3)*2 = 207g/mol
Molar mass of Oxygen = 32g
1 mole of calcium chlorate decomposes to form 3 moles of oxygen.
So,
207g of Ca(ClO₃)₂ produces 3 X 32g of O₂
250g of Ca(ClO₃)₂ will produce =
= 115.94g of O₂
Therefore, 115.94g of O₂ are produced by 250g of Ca(ClO₃)₂
